Khamzat Chimaev Dominates Robbie Lawler at RAF 14 Before Firing Warning at Colby Covington

Khamzat Chimaev delivered another dominant performance at RAF 14, making quick work of former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler in the co-main event. While Arman Tsarukyan stole the spotlight with his victory over Dillon Danis, Chimaev also made a statement by securing a 10-0 technical-fall win in just over two minutes.

"Borz" came out firing, wasting little time before taking Lawler down. After a restart on the feet, the former UFC middleweight champion brought his opponent back to the mat and quickly locked in a gut wrench to score multiple points. That put Chimaev up 8-0, leaving Lawler with little room to respond.

Chimaev kept the pressure on and added another two points to reach the 10-point margin needed to end the contest. The match was stopped with 20 seconds remaining in the first period, giving the Chechen fighter another emphatic victory on the wrestling mats.

With this result, Chimaev improved to 3-0 in RAF and now has his sights set on Colby Covington. The two are scheduled to headline RAF Abu Dhabi on November 14 in a crossover championship bout, setting up another high-profile clash between two outspoken MMA stars.

For Lawler, meanwhile, the match marked his first combat sports appearance since retiring from MMA in 2023, following his final UFC fight in July of that year. Chimaev, however, is already looking ahead to his next opponent.

He has made it clear that he intends to bring the same intensity against Covington and has even threatened to break his neck in their upcoming showdown. With the matchup just three weeks away, "Borz" appears eager to keep his RAF winning streak going.
