Dillon Danis Not Banned by RAF Despite Brawl with Chimaev's Team

Dillon Danis is unlikely to face a ban from Real American Freestyle (RAF) following a recent altercation. The incident occurred during a wrestling match at RAF 10 involving Danis and Khamzat Chimaev's team. The situation escalated when Danis, while on his back, extended his legs towards Chimaev, who responded with a leg kick, leading to a brawl between both parties.

Dillon Danis has gained a reputation for initiating confrontations both inside and outside of competitive events. His most notorious brawl occurred during a boxing match against Logan Paul, but the recent incident with Chimaev's team is also considered significant.

Despite Danis's tendency for unpredictable behavior on camera, RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein has indicated that no ban will be imposed on the former Bellator fighter. Bronstein emphasized that Danis has been cooperative and respectful when not in the spotlight.

"Yeah, you’ll see Dillon Danis back in RAF,” Bronstein stated in an interview. “I don’t need to ban Dillon because we stepped in. I’ll tell you this about Dillon, [and] I work with Dillon, I’ve worked with Dillon behind the scenes a lot. So has Izzy, and so has our team, and he’s very respectful to everybody in our organization, but we did have to deal with certain things with him.

“But I’m not going to say I’m banning him and that we won’t see him on the stage, because I do think he’ll be back eventually. And, again, for wrestling and everything that he’s done with us, he’s been nothing but respectful in our organization. Now [the brawl] was something we don’t ever want, which he knows, and we’ve had that conversation, but I do think we’ll see Dillon Danis back eventually.”

Danis has suffered two losses under the RAF banner. In addition to the aforementioned defeat to Chimaev, he also lost to Colby Covington in March.

It remains to be seen when RAF will choose to bring Danis back into their events.
