Unapologetically Eclectic

Real American Freestyle (RAF06) continues to bring the entertainment for 2026!

They recently announced that on February 28 at the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, Henry Cejudo and Clay Guida co-headline the highly anticipated event. Their opponents have not yet been revealed.

According to the press release, Cejudo is the youngest American Olympic gold medalist in wrestling history and will enter RAF06 as the “most accomplished athlete of his generation.” Cejudo is also a Pan American champion, a U.S. National Champion in freestyle wrestling, and a Pan American Games gold medalist. He also became the third Olympic medalist to win a MMA championship.

Guida, who is considered a veteran in MMA, will be returning to RAF since making an appearance at RAF03 in Chicago. With over two decades of combat sports experience and a wrestling background, going back to mat could be easy for him.

Chad Bronstein, CEO and co-founder of Real American Freestyle said, “Henry Cejudo is one of the most accomplished athletes to ever step on a wrestling mat.” He added, “This card kicks off another huge year for RAF.”

Real American Freestyle launched in April 2025 and has created a new lane in the combat sports world. It combines “elite freestyle wrestling with professional presentation.” Since its official launch, RAF has had four live events in Cleveland, State College, Chicago, and Indianapolis.

The fifth event, or RAF05, will take place in Florida on January 10 at the Amerant Bank Arena, which will be headlined by Colby Covington and Luke Rockhold. RAF06 will follow in February.

Real American Freestyle was founded by Chad Bronstein, Israel Martinez, and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff and was launched with a roster of over 70 athletes. The league focuses on “freestyle elements of the sport and seeks to provide a platform for athletes to build careers and branding in the space.”

RAF06 will stream exclusively on FOX Nation. Presale tickets are available today, and tickets for the general public will go on sale on January 2 via Ticketmaster.
