Tsarukyan lunges at Dillon Danis: mass brawl breaks out at Las Vegas press conference
October 23 2026, 13:00
Arman Tsarukyan, an Armenian UFC fighter, tried to hit Dillon Danis, his American opponent, after Danis displayed a T-shirt bearing an offensive slogan and an image of Khamzat Chimaev, Tsarukyan’s friend and training partner.
The incident instantly escalated into a mass brawl involving security staff and members of both teams. Equipment was knocked over during the scuffle, and one of the security guards was seen bleeding.
As a result, the organizers had to cancel the traditional face-off.
To recall, the title bout between Tsarukyan and Danis at RAF 14 is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on October 23.
