Overview
- Hype FC announced Sunday that Dillon Danis pulled out of the scheduled Nov. 3 submission-only main event in Rome against Colby Covington.
- Raul Rosas Jr. was in attendance at the press conference and volunteered to accept the short-notice replacement, a booking Hype FC confirmed the same day.
- Both replacement confirmation and Danis’s withdrawal were made publicly at the press conference by Hype FC officials and attendees.
- Covington and Rosas each have Real American Freestyle matches later in November, which compresses their recovery and travel windows after the Rome event.
- Danis’s late pullout continues a pattern of recent withdrawals and defeats that promoters say increases the risk of last-minute reshuffles for crossover grappling cards.
