Follow-up: RAF 14 Ends in Las Vegas on October 23 as Tsarukyan Wins by Technical Fall Over Danis for the Title
On Friday night, October 23, RAF 14 was held at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, with results released in the early hours of October 24. In the main event, UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan defeated Dillon Danis by 10-0 technical fall to claim the vacant RAF middleweight crossover championship. Tension flared afterward: Tsarukyan stepped over the fallen Danis, sparking a confrontation between the two camps before security rushed in to separate them, and an RAF co-founder came onto the mat to restore order and escort Danis out. In the co-main event, former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev beat UFC Hall of Famer Robbie Lawler by 11-0 technical fall. In the women's strawweight title bout, champion Lucia Yepez held off Sarah Hildebrandt 8-7 to retain her belt; Sebastian Rivera edged Vito Arujau on criteria at 11-11; and Michael Caliendo defeated Jordan Burroughs 7-5. The two camps had already clashed at the October 22 press conference, but the event went ahead as planned with the card unchanged. For Las Vegas, a wrestling card stacked with UFC names once again proved the city's pull in the combat-sports market.
