Tsarukyan and Danis Brawl at RAF 14 Press Conference

Thursday's onstage melee could prompt closer security measures ahead of RAF 14.

Overview

  • A chaotic onstage brawl broke out at the RAF 14 press conference Thursday after Dillon Danis displayed a t‑shirt mocking Khamzat Chimaev.
  • Reporting and video show Arman Tsarukyan charged the stage and threw a punch before security dragged him away while Chimaev tried to enter the stage.
  • RAF 14 remains scheduled for Friday at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas and will stream on FOX Nation with select AMC Theater screenings as announced by the promotion.
  • The main event still lists Tsarukyan vs. Danis for the inaugural RAF Crossover middleweight title and the card includes Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robbie Lawler in the co‑main.
  • The incident raises short‑term risks for RAF's rapid expansion by increasing security scrutiny, exposing fighters to possible disciplinary action, and complicating promotion of upcoming shows such as the Nov. 14 Abu Dhabi event.
