- RAF 08 took place at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia on April 17–18, 2026, headlined by a promoted main event after a late change due to an injury. The originally scheduled main event (Henry Cejudo vs Merab Dvalishvili) was canceled because of Cejudo’s injury, and Arman Tsarukyan vs Urijah Faber was promoted to the main event, with Kyle Snyder vs Rizabek Aitmukhan as the co-main event .
- The event featured notable signings and promotions surrounding RAF’s expansion into mainstream combat sports, including public notes about new signings and upcoming RAF events, such as RAF09 and RAF10, signaling ongoing growth and matchmaking activity beyond RAF 08 .
- In the results after the card shift, Arman Tsarukyan defeated Urijah Faber in the main event via technical fall (13-1), and Kyle Snyder won the light heavyweight title with a decision (12-6) against Rizabek Aitmukhan, according to coverage of the live results from FOX Nation .
