A promotional news conference for RAF 14 descended into chaos on Thursday when Arman Tsarukyan lunged from his chair at opponent Dillon Danis, igniting a room-wide brawl one day before the two are scheduled to meet in the cage.
According to TMZ.com, the altercation began when Danis chose to display the T-shirt he was wearing, which carried a crude message aimed at Tsarukyan's teammate, Khamzat Chimaev. The shirt read "Khamzat is my bitch," and Tsarukyan reacted immediately, rising from his seat to go after Danis.
The confrontation quickly spread beyond the two fighters. TMZ.com reported that the entire room broke out in a brawl so large that it became difficult to track who was fighting whom.
The timing of the incident is significant: Danis and Tsarukyan are set to face off for real on Friday, headlining RAF 14 in Las Vegas. The press conference took place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, leaving little more than a day between the melee and the scheduled bout.
The scuffle adds another chapter to the promotional buildup for RAF 14, which had not yet begun when the fighters came to blows. For local readers following the card, the question now is whether the confrontation will carry any regulatory or scheduling consequences before Friday's event in Las Vegas.
