Dillon Danis Faces Backlash After Loss to Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 14

At the Real American Freestyle 14 event in Las Vegas on October 23, 2026, Dillon Danis faced Arman Tsarukyan in a highly anticipated match that ended in chaos. Tsarukyan stomped Danis on the chest during the final moments of their bout, prompting security intervention.

The match was marked by tension, beginning with Tsarukyan slapping Danis early on, which led to a warning from the referee. Despite this, Danis initially gained a significant lead. However, Tsarukyan managed to score the 10th point and then stomped Danis as he got up, an act that seemed to stem from their heated pre-fight exchanges.

After the incident, Danis surprisingly shook Tsarukyan's hand, although Tsarukyan indicated that their rivalry was not resolved. He used the opportunity to promote his upcoming fight against Neiman Gracie in Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, Danis faced backlash on social media for his performance, as he remains winless in the RAF, further fueling criticism of his fighting career.
