Summary
Colby Covington said fans will help decide whether his scheduled Aug. 22 RAF 12 co-main event with Belal Muhammad goes ahead, after he previously suggested the matchup could be pulled.
The poll follows a near-brawl at the RAF 11 post-fight press conference in Milwaukee, where Muhammad interrupted Covington, then rushed forward and threw a kick before officials separated them.
Covington, now 4-0 in RAF after beating Arman Tsarukyan for the crossover title, said his main concern is a repeat incident spilling into the crowd and hurting the promotion.
RAF had announced Covington-Muhammad for its one-year anniversary show in Cleveland after both won at RAF 11, but Covington now says he may seek a different opponent if fans prefer.
