Chimaev faces Danis in RAF 10 main event as Tsarukyan meets Ferguson in co-main

Khamzat Chimaev steps into RAF competition for the first time when he faces Dillon Danis in a catchweight main event at RAF 10 on Saturday night at Chaifetz Arena, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri.

Chimaev, a former UFC middleweight champion, takes on Danis in what marks a notable debut for the Swedish-Chechen fighter outside the UFC. Danis, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist and training partner of Conor McGregor, enters the bout having lost his own RAF debut to Colby Covington in March.

The co-main event pairs rising UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan against veteran Tony Ferguson. Tsarukyan has established himself as one of the division’s most dangerous challengers, while Ferguson — a former interim UFC lightweight champion — continues to compete at the highest level of the sport.

The undercard features two title bouts. Lucía Yépez meets Kendra Ryan for the Women’s Interim Strawweight Title, while Austin DeSanto defends or challenges for the Bantamweight Title against Reineri Andreu.

Also on the card, Bellator veteran Aaron Pico faces Lance Palmer at featherweight, and Olympic wrestling standout Keegan O’Toole meets Bekzod Abdurakhmonov at welterweight.
