RAF 14 is all set to kick off this Friday, Oct. 23, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, headlined by a crossover championship showdown between top UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan and RAF veteran Dillon Danis. The two combat sports stars meet for the inaugural Real American Freestyle (RAF) middleweight crossover championship.
Tsarukyan enters RAF 14 mere weeks after a spectacular first-round knockout of Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 in September, a victory that strengthened his claim as the UFC's top-ranked 155-pound contender. The Armenian standout has also been one of RAF's most active crossover competitors throughout 2026, going 7-1 across eight appearances.
Danis, meanwhile, continues to search for his first RAF victory after suffering losses to Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev this year. A former Bellator fighter, Danis was briefly scheduled to face Tsarukyan in a submission grappling match in April, but the bout never materialized.
Here's everything you need to know about RAF 14, including the full match card, start time, and how to watch Friday's freestyle wrestling event.
When does RAF 14 start and how can I watch?
RAF 14 is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET — one hour later than the promotion’s usual start time — and air live in the United States on FOX Nation.
The event will also be shown live at approximately 40 AMC Theatres locations across the United States as part of a new partnership between RAF and the theater giant.
Who else is on RAF 14's match card?
In the evening’s co-main event, former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev returns to the RAF mats against former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler. Chimaev has emerged as one of the promotion’s biggest attractions this year, racking up back-to-back wins, while the 44-year-old Lawler readies to make his RAF debut.
Beyond the two crossover matchups at the top of the card, RAF 14 features a pair of championship contests, as Ecuadorian standout Lucia Yepez faces Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hildebrandt for the RAF women's strawweight championship, and former featherweight champ Jordan Oliver meets Ridge Lovett for the vacant lightweight title.
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Burroughs additionally returns to action against Michael Caliendo in a middleweight matchup, while several familiar MMA names — former Bellator bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta, UFC middleweight contender Brendan Allen and former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko — compete as well.
Finally, Bella Mir — the daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir — also returns to the wrestling mats against Hope Chase following her upset loss on Dana White's Contender Series in August.
