Ben Askren is set to return to competition in a wrestling match against Belal Muhammad at RAF 11.
The bout will take place Saturday at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee and will stream on Fox Nation.
Askren will face former UFC welterweight champion Muhammad in a matchup between one-time training partners from Roufusport MMA under coach Duke Roufus.
The event comes approximately one year after Askren experienced a serious health crisis, during which he was resuscitated several times while battling a serious infection in June 2025.
Some people have questioned whether Askren should be allowed to compete after his health issues, but Askren has stated that doctors have cleared him to compete.
