Khamzat makes quick turnaround, faces Dillon Danis on June 13 in St. Louis
Former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev will have an opportunity to regain some of his lost aura when he tangles with ex-Bellator MMA welterweight Dillon Danis as part of the upcoming Real American Freestyle (RAF) event on June 13 in St. Louis, Missouri. One step above Swedish teenagers , one step below this UFC “Joker.
” Chimaev, 32, is just a couple of days removed from his split decision loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 328 in Newark. We can assume “Borz” escaped his five-round affair in “The Garden State” without any significant injuries since he’s wrestling Danis just a few weeks later. RAF 10 will stream exclusively on FOX Nation.
Also competing next month in the “Gateway to the West” is former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson. “El Cucuy” will go head-to-head with current 155-pound contender Arman Tsarukyan , a fixture on recent RAF bout sheets. In addition, Lance Palmer faces Aaron Pico in a battle of PFL veterans.
Expect more RAF 10 announcements in the coming days.
