Chimaev Pins Danis in 44 Seconds in Brawl-Marred RAF 10

The melee raises urgent questions about RAF's security and discipline following a high-profile match.

Overview

  • Khamzat Chimaev won the RAF 10 main event by a single-leg takedown and pin in 44 seconds at a 205-pound catchweight, securing the fall that ended the match.
  • Immediately after the referee called the pin, Chimaev booted the prone Dillon Danis and the encounter erupted into a large brawl with team members from both sides rushing the mat.
  • Both fighters were escorted out of Chaifetz Arena and did not do post-fight media, and Danis later reposted video of the incident on social media.
  • RAF leaders publicly criticized the scene and said they will address security and discipline after founder Eric Bischoff called the episode 'not a good situation at all.'
  • Chimaev's RAF debut follows his May loss to Sean Strickland and underscores RAF's push to sign big-name MMA talent and the risks of mixing volatile MMA personalities into a wrestling ruleset.
