10-0 AND OUT: Tsarukyan Runs Over Danis at RAF 14

The feud ended fast on the mat and flared again after the bell. Tsarukyan took the vacant crossover title, and Chimaev ran through Lawler in the co-main event.

"I'm happy to get this guy finally and break his neck."

Khamzat Chimaev said it about Colby Covington after his own win at RAF 14. But the line fit the whole night in Las Vegas: nobody came to wrestle safe.

Arman Tsarukyan needed only the first period to settle his feud with Dillon Danis. He rolled to a 10-0 technical fall in the RAF 14 main event on Friday, October 23, 2026, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and took the vacant middleweight crossover title with him.

The talking was over. The match was not close.

The Flare-Up After The Bell

Tsarukyan had his way with Danis from the start, MMA Junkie reported, building the 10-0 lead that ends a match by technical fall. The title was vacant going in. It left with Tsarukyan.

Then the rivalry flared one more time. Tsarukyan stepped over Danis while Danis was still down on the mat, and tempers flared between the heated rivals. Security guards rushed onto the stage at once to break things up.

RAF co-founders Izzy Martinez and Chad Bronstein made their way onto the mat during the winner announcement. Bronstein escorted Danis off to make sure nothing else happened.

A Second Flashpoint

It was the second flashpoint in two days. A brawl had broken out at Thursday's press conference, MMA Junkie reported, yet RAF 14 went on as planned with no changes to the card.

Afterward, the two men shook hands. Tsarukyan said their rivalry was over unless Danis wanted an MMA fight. That is the only rematch on the table now, and it is Danis's call to make.

Chimaev Runs Through Lawler

The co-main event was just as one-sided. Khamzat Chimaev beat Robbie Lawler 11-0 by technical fall, also in the first period, MMA Junkie and MMA Mania both reported.

Lawler was competing in any sport for the first time since his UFC retirement fight in July 2023, MMA Junkie noted. Chimaev gave him no room to find his feet, using multiple takedowns and elite wrestling to run up the lead.

Then Chimaev turned straight to what is next. He meets Colby Covington in three weeks at RAF Abu Dhabi on November 14, MMA Junkie reported. The Covington line was not trash talk for later. It was a warning delivered while the mat was still warm.

What It Means

Two crossover headliners, two shutouts. That is the story of RAF 14 in one line.

Tsarukyan leaves Las Vegas with a title and the last word in a feud that had already spilled over at the press conference. Danis leaves with another loss in a promotion where he is now 0-3, per Bleacher Report, and with the handshake as his only way back in.

Chimaev leaves with momentum and a date. Covington is next, in Abu Dhabi, in three weeks. After an 11-0 night, nobody in that building needed to be told what Chimaev plans to do when he gets there.
