RAF 14: Arman Tsarukyan beats Dillon Danis 10–0 in wrestling

Arman Tsarukyan defeated Dillon Danis by 10–0 technical fall in the RAF 14 wrestling main event at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on 23 October. Armsport reports that Tsarukyan, who represents Armenia, also won RAF’s middleweight championship.

Tsarukyan entered the contest after his first RAF defeat, while Danis had lost both of his previous RAF matches. A technical fall ends a match when one wrestler builds a sufficiently large points lead.

Armsport reports a middleweight title win

The championship belongs to Real American Freestyle (RAF), the wrestling organisation, not the mixed martial arts promotion UFC. Armsport lists Tsarukyan as the UFC’s second-ranked lightweight, a separate standing from his RAF middleweight title.

Armsport puts Tsarukyan’s RAF record after the victory at seven wins and one loss, with his only defeat coming against Colby Covington.

Caliendo hands Burroughs his first RAF defeat
