with fighters such as [Henry Cejudo](https://www.edgepedia.org/henry-cejudo), Urijah Faber, Gable Steveson, and [Michael Chandler](https://www.edgepedia.org/michael-chandler) having competed at its events.[4](https://heavy.com/sports/ufc/eric-bischoff-raf-ufc-growing-promotion/) The event streamed live on Fox Nation, part of a long-term broadcasting partnership between RAF and Fox Nation that

as the stage for the debut of the winner of *RAF Undiscovered: The Hunt For Wrestling's Next Star*, an original reality series from RAF and Fox Nation in which twelve relatively unknown wrestlers competed for a professional contract.[5](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/raf-lands-ultimate-fighter-style-230815680.html) • [6](https://www.primevideo.com/-/es_419/detail/0SMX2FSVKZU6MFV9SEZ4JNKZDT) The series, described as similar in format to *The Ultimate Fighter*, began streaming on Fox Nation on September 16, 2026, and the tournament moved quickly enough that the winner made his official company debut at RAF 13 just two days later.[5](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/raf-lands-ultimate-fighter-style-230815680.html)\n\n## Results and aftermath\n\nCovington won his match over Muhammad, and Chimaev triumphed over Burns.[2](https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/the-best-of-raf-13-miami/umc.cmc.1vu0q1txhrz9zoumk1n3vmbwl?showId=umc.cmc.3fxmrekie4yilrbq3h4d4qc8c) A 19-minute highlights

expanding into other forms of television, having just premiered its first unscripted special, a two-hour competition elimination format.[4](https://heavy.com/sports/ufc/eric-bischoff-raf-ufc-growing-promotion/)\n\n## Other uses of the name\n\nRAF 13 is also the model designation of a bi-level float control valve in the RAF series of diaphragm control valves made by Raphael Valves. It is a non-modulating, on/off service valve activated by line pressure and controlled by a 3-W float pilot, used to control the filling of water reservoirs and tanks; it opens at a low preset water level and closes at a high preset level, with a maximal nominal pressure of 16 bar.[3](https://www.raphael-valves.com/fileadmin/user_upload/WW_RAF_08.24_EN.pdf) • [7](https://www.raphael-valves.com/fileadmin/user_upload/RAF_13_ds.pdf)\n\n## References\n\n1.
