Arman Tsarukyan took a technical fall victory over Dillon Danis, 10-0, in the main event of RAF 14 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, as first reported by MMA Fighting. The result was a recovery for the UFC lightweight, who had suffered his first RAF loss, and it dropped Danis to 0-3 in the promotion.
The main event was not the only lopsided finish on the card. Brendan Allen, Dylan Ragusin and Bella Mir also won by technical fall earlier in the evening.
Tsarukyan's form
Tsarukyan, a 30-year-old Russian fighter who trains out of American Top Team, is 24-3 and ranked second in the UFC lightweight division. He arrived at RAF 14 on a hot streak in the Octagon. His most recent recorded fight was a first-round KO/TKO of Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 on September 19, 2026. Before that, he submitted Dan Hooker in the second round in November 2025, and he beat Charles Oliveira by split decision at UFC 300 in April 2024.
That wrestling-heavy outcome fits his statistical profile. Tsarukyan averages 3.25 takedowns per 15 minutes and lands 3.78 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy. A technical fall rewards exactly that kind of sustained control, with points accumulating until a ten-point margin ends the bout.
Danis' RAF struggles
Danis, by contrast, has yet to register a win under the RAF banner. The loss to Tsarukyan is his third in the promotion, leaving him winless in three outings there.
Why it matters
- Tsarukyan erases the sting of his first RAF defeat and returns to winning form just five weeks after his UFC 331 knockout.
- The technical fall margin of 10-0 means Danis did not score a single point in the bout.
- Danis' 0-3 mark in RAF underlines how difficult the promotion's rules and opposition have proved for him.
The card's pattern of technical falls, with four of the highlighted results ending that way, points to a format that tends to produce decisive, one-sided outcomes when a stronger grappler meets a weaker one.
