The UFC lightweight is scheduled to face Dillon Danis at RAF 14 on Oct. 3 at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. The wrestling promotion recently announced that the match will be contested for the RAF middleweight crossover championship. The news comes less than one week after the UFC announced Tsarukyan (23-3) will face Mauricio Ruffy (14-2) at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 in Los Angeles.
Arman Tsarukyan and Dillon Danis have MMA assignments before RAF clash
Tsarukyan has fought just once in 2024 and once in 2025, with his latest victory in mixed martial arts coming against Dan Hooker in November last year. However, he’s competed in 15 wrestling and submission grappling matches over the last two years, going unbeaten in all but one. In his last wrestling match under the RAF banner, he was outpointed by Colby Covington.
He has collected victories over Lance Palmer, Georgio Poullas, Urijah Faber, Keelon Jimison, Tony Ferguson and Kuat Khamitov in RAF so far. His next outing will be against Danis in October at RAF 14 in Las Vegas. Danis will attempt to snap a two-fight losing streak under the RAF banner. The jiu jitsu specialist lost to Covington in March before falling to former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev in June.
Before returning to RAF, Tsarukyan will face Ruffy at UFC 331. Danis will also compete in MMA before meeting Tsarukyan, as he is booked to face Mike Perry in the Duel Arena 1 main event on Aug. 29 in Orlando, Florida, looking to extend his record to 4-0.
