Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns will meet at RAF 13 four
\nyears after their UFC 273 classic<\/h2>\n

The RAF matchup comes over four years after Chimaev and Burns
\nsquared off in one of UFC’s most memorable bouts of 2022, which
\nearned Fight of the Night honors.<\/p>\n

Chimaev already has another RAF assignment locked in before the
\nBurns match. \u201cBorz\u201d is scheduled to face former UFC champion
\nTyron
\nWoodley<\/a> in the main event of RAF Moscow on Sept. 5. He made his
\nRAF debut earlier this year against Dillon
\nDanis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Burns announced his retirement from mixed martial arts
\nfollowing a loss to Mike Malott<\/a>
\nin April. The defeat was his fifth straight. Since stepping away
\nfrom MMA, Burns has turned his attention to management and has also
\ncompeted in UFC BJJ. The upcoming match with Chimaev marks the
\nBrazilian\u2019s debut in RAF.<\/p>\n
