Dillon Danis Not Banned by RAF Following Altercation with Khamzat Chimaev's Team
Dillon Danis will reportedly continue to be part of the Real American Freestyle (RAF) organization, despite his involvement in a recent brawl with Khamzat Chimaev's team. The incident occurred during an RAF 10 wrestling match where Danis and Chimaev exchanged hostilities, escalating into a larger scuffle involving both their entourages.
Danis has garnered a reputation for instigating conflicts, both inside and outside of the competition arena. His previous boxing match against Logan Paul famously ended prematurely due to his aggressive behavior.
However, according to RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein, Danis will not face a ban. Bronstein stated that while the organization had to address the recent incident, Danis has been consistently respectful to everyone within the organization when the cameras are off. Bronstein expressed confidence that Danis will compete in RAF again in the future.
"Yeah, you’ll see Dillon Danis back in RAF," Bronstein told MMAFighting. "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 currently holds two losses under the RAF banner. He was defeated by Chimaev in their recent match and previously lost to Colby Covington in March.
It remains to be seen when RAF plans to bring Danis back into their events.
