RAF books Arman Tsarukyan vs Dillon Danis at RAF 14
The promotion announced the matchup on X with tickets on sale and the card streaming on Fox Nation.
Real American Freestyle has added Arman Tsarukyan against Dillon Danis to RAF 14. The promotion announced the matchup on X, with the card set for October 23 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. RAF says tickets are available through the link in its bio and the show airs on Fox Nation.
The announcement was short and did not list a weight or a rules wrinkle for the bout. RAF opened the post with "ARMAN" and a flexed arm, which is the whole of what the promotion has said about how it sees the matchup so far.
What it adds to the card
RAF 14 was already stacked with names from outside the traditional freestyle bracket, headlined by the earlier reported Khamzat Chimaev against Robbie Lawler co-main on the same October 23 date at Fontainebleau. Tsarukyan against Danis is the second crossover attraction confirmed for the Vegas card.
The rest of the announced lineup leans on wrestlers. Mekhi Lewis signed with the promotion and drew Gadzhimagomedov, Sarah Hildebrandt returns against Lucia Yepez, and RAF has also booked a Rivera vs Arujau contender match plus Bastida vs Kerkvliet.
Our take, RAF is building October 23 as a two audience show. The wrestling matchups sell to the people who already buy RAF, and the Chimaev and Tsarukyan bookings are aimed at the combat sports crowd that does not otherwise buy a freestyle ticket. Whether that mix holds up on a Fox Nation stream is the question the promotion answers on the night.
Nobody has said how the Tsarukyan against Danis bout came together, and RAF has not announced where it falls in the running order.
Things to watch. RAF 14 goes October 23 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Fox Nation, and the promotion still has not released a full bout order for the card.
