Arman Tsarukyan attacks Dillon Danis igniting near riot at RAF 14 press conference

At the RAF 14 press conference on Thursday, Arman Tsarukyan was clearly not pleased with Dillon Danis' choice of clothing. During the press conference, Danis, known for his penchant for controversy, revealed he was wearing a t-shirt featuring Tsarukyan's teammate and friend, Khamzat Chimaev. Danis proudly stated "It says Khamzat's my bitch" on the shirt, complete with a picture of Chimaev without a beard.

Unrest ensued when Tsarukyan, angered by what Danis said, stood up and lunged at the outspoken grappling veteran. The confrontation quickly escalated into a large brawl, with dozens of individuals rushing the stage to either support the fighters or security personnel trying to separate them. The melee threatened to tear down the stage as RAF officials struggled to regain control of the situation.

As Danis and Tsarukyan engaged in a flurry of punches instead of grappling techniques, RAF officials finally managed to restore order and clear the stage for the customary faceoffs. However, Tsarukyan and Danis did not participate in the main event of RAF 14, scheduled for Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
