Kyle Dake Avenges Olympic Loss, Edges Kadimagomedov 10–7 at RAF 5

The RAF showcase gave the four-time world champion a chance to avenge his 2020 Olympic defeat.

Overview

  • Dake defeated Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov in the co-main event at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, on Saturday night.
  • The rematch featured swings in momentum with late scrambles, and Kadimagomedov protested the final scoring sequence after the 10–7 result.
  • Their first meeting ended in a shocking 11–0 tech fall for Kadimagomedov at the Tokyo Olympics, a result Dake had long sought to revisit.
  • Kadimagomedov returned to wrestling after a Bellator deal without a fight and earned this matchup by beating Dustin Plott at RAF 4.
  • Dake has embraced RAF’s format for frequent elite matchups and has publicly invited UFC fighters to test themselves in the promotion.
