RAF 5 live blog: Kyle Dake vs. Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov

This is the live blog for Kyle Dake vs. Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov, the co-main event for RAF 5 on Saturday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.

Kyle Dake is one of the most decorated wrestlers of his generation, being just the fourth man to win four Division-I National Championships, and the first to do so in four different weight classes. He has been nearly as successful at the senior level, winning four world championships, along with a silver medal, and two Olympic bronze medals. Dake won the inaugural RAF cruiserweight title with a tech fall over Dean Hamiti at RAF 1, and defended it with a 7-1 victory over Boris Mokaev at RAF 2.

Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov is a Russian and Belarusian freestyle wrestler who is best known for winning the silver medal at the 2020 Olympics in the 74 kg division. He has also had several other high finishes at the senior level in wrestling, and signed with Bellator MMA in 2023, though he never competed for the promotion. Kadimagomedov won his RAF debut at RAF 4, defeating Dustin Plott by decision to earn this shot at Dake.
