Overview
- Pyfer defeated Rockhold by technical fall with an official final of 13-3 after the match reached the RAF 10-point margin.
- The result came in a prelim at RAF 13 in Miami on Friday, with Pyfer steadily building his lead through successive scoring sequences.
- Pyfer translated his MMA strength into wrestling control by repeatedly securing body locks, converting those positions into takedowns and back-exposure points.
- Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion who left MMA in 2022, now stands 0-2 on the RAF mat after a previous tech-fall loss to Colby Covington.
- The bout underscores RAF’s trend of recruiting MMA names and shows how cage power and positioning can create clear advantages under RAF’s takedown, exposure and push-out scoring rules.
