🚨 RAF goes international! The promotion heads to Georgia on July 11 with a battle between former #UFC champs Merab Dvali

What happened: RAF is taking its promotion international with a July 11 card in Georgia. The main event pits former UFC champions Merab Dvalishvili, competing in front of a home crowd, against Henry Cejudo. Kyle Snyder meets Abdulrashid Sadulaev in the co-main event, with Arman Tsarukyan also booked for the card.

Why it matters: The event marks RAF's push beyond its home base and hands Dvalishvili a homecoming bout, building on the previously announced Dvalishvili-Cejudo July 11 freestyle headliner. Stacking former UFC champions and a hometown draw gives the upstart promotion marquee crossover appeal in a new market.

What to watch: Tickets are set to go on sale soon, with the rest of the RAF Georgia card still being filled out.
