RAF Moscow and UFC 331: Results Beside Fight-Week Callouts
Khamzat Chimaev pinned Tyron Woodley in the first period at RAF Moscow on September 5, 2026. UFC 331 later produced a first-round knockout for Arman Tsarukyan and a unanimous-decision title defense for Joshua Van.
A wrestling result and an MMA event
Chimaev’s win over Woodley took place under freestyle wrestling rules and was recorded as a fall. It belongs to the RAF event, not either fighter’s MMA record.
At UFC 331 on September 19, Tsarukyan stopped Mauricio Ruffy with elbows at 4:56 of round one. Van retained his flyweight championship by unanimous decision over Alexandre Pantoja.
Callouts are different from results
MMA Talk’s roundup discussed Bobby Green, Sean Strickland, Paddy Pimblett and the buildup to UFC 331. Public comments and career interests can provide context, but they are not completed results or official bookings.
The RAF and UFC pages confirm the respective outcomes. This article places the talk beside the actual event record without treating a callout as a scheduled fight.
The RAF event record lists Chimaev–Woodley as a first-period fall. UFC’s scorecards separately show Van retained his title and Tsarukyan stopped Ruffy. The event recap covered public comments as commentary, not as confirmed fight announcements.
Noche UFC took place on September 12, between RAF Moscow on September 5 and UFC 331 on September 19; the Moscow wrestling bout remains a distinct ruleset and event.
