Former Bellator fighter and avid troublemaker Dillon Danis competes against Arman Tsarukyan for the RAF Middleweight Crossover championship in the main event of RAF 14 tomorrow night (Fri., Oct. 23, 2026) inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In Las Vegas on September 9, 2022, during RAF 14 press conference, Dillon Danis, a former Bellator fighter and troublemaker, announced his interest in fighting MMA legend Nick Diaz. Danis claimed that Nick had been offered millions of dollars but was having some personal issues. He also revealed that Nick was initially scheduled to fight Mike Perry, but the match fell apart due to Danis withdrawing just 48 hours before the event due to a severe arm laceration.
The later release of footage of the wound and subsequent medical procedure led to Perry questioning the timing of Danis' withdrawal. Perry's replacement, Brandon Jenkins, had to step in on one day's notice, forcing Perry to compete at Middleweight after preparing for a Welterweight fight. Danis' withdrawal also delayed his UFC showdown with Tsarukyan, pushing their match from October 3 to October 23.
