Khamzat Chimaev booked for RAF debut against controversial foe

Real American Freestyle booked Khamzat Chimaev vs. Dillon Danis for a June 13 catchweight main event at Chaifetz Arena, marking a swift return after his UFC middleweight title loss. The former champion headlines RAF 10, with the event set to stream on Fox Nation. Chimaev is coming off his first professional defeat at UFC 328, a split-decision loss to Sean Strickland on May 9 in Newark, New Jersey. Known for dominant wrestling and grappling, he reportedly struggled in those areas and remains focused on an immediate rematch with Strickland after earlier talk of moving to light heavyweight. Danis, a longtime training partner of Conor McGregor, previously fought in Bellator MMA and most recently lost to Colby Covington at RAF 7.
