Overview Real American Freestyle is an unscripted professional wrestling league: real freestyle wrestling, scored and pinned, where Olympic and NCAA champions share cards with UFC fighters such as Khamzat Chimaev, Colby Covington, Henry Cejudo and Arman Tsarukyan. Matches run three two-minute periods under modified freestyle rules and end on a pin, a 10-point technical fall or the score, and there is no overtime: a tie goes to whoever scored last. Every event streams live on Fox Nation, which holds exclusive rights. Chad Bronstein, Izzy Martinez, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan founded the league in April 2025. On site Cards run in arenas, mostly in wrestling country: RAF has played the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State, Wintrust Arena in Chicago, the Fishers Event Center in Indiana and Mullett Arena in Tempe, and it has gone abroad to Tbilisi and Moscow. The production leans on walkouts, LED boards and a three-hour live show. Shane Sparks, Chael Sonnen, Kurt Angle and Julianna Pena have called the action. Athletes and commentators work press conferences before each event, and a Fan Zone runs meet-and-greets. Audience The league books major college wrestling markets, much of its roster came out of NCAA wrestling, and its strongest fan base sits in Chicago, the Midwest and the South. RAF describes them as loyal, heavy on streaming and social media, and quick to back the brands that show up for their sport. The league bills its events as family-friendly combat. Talent and Influencers Wyatt Hendrickson, Kyle Snyder, Kyle Dake and Gable Steveson have all wrestled on RAF cards, and past rosters also listed Olympic gold medalists Sarah Hildebrandt and Helen Maroulis. Recent crossover bookings put Covington against Luke Rockhold in Miami, Cejudo against Urijah Faber in Tempe, Chimaev against Dillon Danis in St. Louis, and Merab Dvalishvili against Cejudo in Tbilisi, on a card that also carried Abdulrashid Sadulaev. Track record RAF 01 ran at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland in August 2025, a month after Hogan's death, and opened with a tribute to him; Hendrickson beat Mostafa Elders to become the first heavyweight champion. Fox Nation took exclusive rights before that first card and later extended the deal. The league has run 15+ events. Brand presence The top partner takes event naming rights, its logo on the scoreboard and in the lower third, the step and repeat at the athlete and commentator press conference, and an influencer and VIP lounge. Partners sponsor individual matches, with live reads from the commentators before the match, their logo on the replays and a social post from the winner. Athlete NIL content, :15 to :60 spots, pre-rolls and on-screen graphics round it out, and broadcast content stays on Fox Nation for 18 months. Category rights such as official energy or protein are sold exclusively; the beer category is taken.
