Khamzat Chimaev is getting right back on the horse. Just days after losing his UFC middleweight title in a stunner against Sean Strickland, Chimaevâs debut with upstart wrestling league Real American Freestyle (RAF) is officially on the books.
Chimaev, 32, is set to wrestle against fellow MMA veteran Dillon Danis on June 13 at RAF 10, which goes down inside the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri.
RAF officials announced the matchup Tuesday.
Chimaevâs signing with RAF was unveiled in April at RAF 8. A fearsome force on the mats, Chimaevâs wrestling carried him a perfect 9-0 start in the UFC and the promotionâs middleweight title until Strickland pulled off a stunning upset this past Saturday at UFC 328.
Prior to his MMA career, Chimaev was a three-time Swedish Freestyle National Champion in freestyle wrestling, winning gold from 2016-18.
Danis, 32, made his RAF debut in March at RAF 7, losing via tech fall (14-4) to former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington.
A noted jiu-jitsu black belt, Danis has competed in both MMA and boxing over the past few years, most recently capturing the inaugural Misfits MMA title in August with a 15-second submission of Warren Spencer.
Along with Chimaev vs. Danis, RAF 10 is also set to feature UFC veterans Arman Tsarukyan, Aaron Pico and Tony Ferguson.
Khamzat Chimaev's debut match in Real American Freestyle is scheduled for June 13.
Khamzat Chimaev will face Dillon Danis in his RAF debut.
