Colby Covington will not be waiting long for his next outing in RAF, with his first title defense now officially on the schedule. The new booking comes after his win over Arman Tsarukyan and sets up another meeting with a fighter known from the UFC stage.

The quick turnaround highlights how active Covington's career has become since stepping away from the UFC Octagon and into Real American Freestyle. According to the report, the move has given him fresh momentum in a different combat sports setting.

Although the available details are limited, the matchup is being framed as another notable crossover fight involving a UFC name. That points to RAF continuing to lean on established MMA personalities as it builds interest around its events and championship picture.

For Covington, the announcement keeps the spotlight on his early run in the promotion. After beating Tsarukyan, his first defense now becomes the next test of whether this latest chapter can turn into a sustained title run.
