A shutout on the RAF scoreboard
Steveson earned a six-point victory without allowing Cassioppi to score. RAF’s official results identify Anthony Cassioppi as the opponent, correcting the first name that appeared in the initial draft.
The contest was a wrestling match, so the 6–0 result should not be described using MMA methods such as a knockout or submission. Its score reflects freestyle scoring rather than judges’ cards.
A crossover event in Cleveland
RAF 12 included a mix of established wrestlers and athletes from other combat sports. Henry Cejudo pinned Merab Dvalishvili in the first period, while Johnni DiJulius recorded a technical fall in a separate match.
The event page supplies the direct score and opponent confirmation. Steveson’s win is clear in the record, while broader claims about future MMA participation remain separate from this freestyle result.
