A huge brawl erupted on stage at the RAF 14 press conference involving Dillon Danis and Arman Tsarukyan.
This Friday, Real American Freestyle Wrestling lands in Las Vegas, Nevada, for RAF 14, which is scheduled to be headlined by a match between Arman Tsarukyan and Dillon Danis.
The two have been scheduled to compete against each other in the past as they were scheduled for a submission grappling match on Hype Fighting earlier this year, but it didn’t come to fruition.
And just a day out from their scheduled match, the pair met on stage at the RAF 14 press conference, where a huge brawl broke out between the two, as they were dragged off stage.
Who could ever claim to deserve a shot above 'Batman' following his massive KO
Danis is known for riling up his opponents before his matches or fights, with the 33-year-old often regarded as the most controversial athlete in combat sports. This past June, ‘El Jefe’ made his second appearance on the RAF mats when he took on Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev and Danis’ match ended in a huge brawl as Danis attempted to lock in a guillotine on the Chechen during their match, before losing a pinfall. At the end of the match, Chimaev threw a kick at Danis and then a huge brawl erupted between their two teams.
And it didn’t take long for that to happen this Thursday evening at the press conference, as Tsarukyan rushed Danis in an attempt to punch him, sparking a massive brawl. One of the media members asked Danis what t-shirt he was wearing, and so the 33-year-old stood up to show off his garments.
On his t-shirt was an image of someone who looked like Chimaev, with the words, ‘Khamzat is my b—-‘. After seeing the t-shirt, Tsarukyan immediately stood up to defend his friend, walking over towards Danis, while RAF owners Izzy Martinez and Chad Bronstein attempted to hold him back. After pushing both of them away, ‘Batman’ threw a punch towards Danis before he was immediately dragged away by security.

Chimaev, who was in the crowd as he is competing on the same card against Robbie Lawler, attempted to jump on the stage but he was also reprimanded by security and taken away from the scene. The melee on stage lasted a few minutes as security members attempted to drag Tsarukyan away, which resulted in the end of the press conference.
Despite all other athletes who are competing on the event facing off with their opponent, RAF skipped Tsarukyan and Danis’ face-off.
