The March 1 tournament saw the former Olympic gold medalist and former UFC two-division champion top Urijah Faber in a high-profile matchup that capped a card of competitive matches and a volatile co-main incident.
Finals night at Mullet Arena and Cejudo’s return
The RAF 06 event was held at Mullet Arena in Tempe, Ariz., on Saturday night, March 1. In the main event, Henry Cejudo — an Olympic gold medalist and former UFC two-division champion who retired this past December following his fourth straight UFC loss — defeated Urijah Faber by a 10-0 shutout. Coverage noted that Cejudo showed off his Olympic acumen in the RAF 6 main event while Faber, age 46 and seven years older than Cejudo, returned after a 2019 UFC retirement and after several grappling wins since leaving the promotion.
