RAF 14: Tsarukyan vs. Danis was a freestyle wrestling event produced by the Real American Freestyle (RAF) promotion that took place on October 23, 2026, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Background

This marked the promotion's debut in Las Vegas.

A middleweight bout for the inaugural RAF Middleweight Crossover Championship between Arman Tsarukyan and Dillon Danis headlined the event.

A catchweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Khamzat Chimaev and former UFC Welterweight Champion (also promotional newcomer) Robbie Lawler served as the co-main event.

In addition, two championship bouts took place:

• An RAF Women's Strawweight Championship bout between current champion Lucía Yépez and former champion (also 2024 Olympic gold medalist) Sarah Hildebrandt.
• An RAF Lightweight Championship bout for the vacant title between former RAF Featherweight Champion Jordan Oliver and Ridge Lovett. For undisclosed reasons, Yianni Diakomihalis was stripped off his title in April.

A cruiserweight bout between Michael Page and former Bellator Middleweight Champion Alexander Shlemenko was scheduled for the event. However, Page withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by former LFA Middleweight Champion Brendan Allen.

Former RAF Bantamweight Champion Nathan Tomasello was scheduled to face 2025 Pan American freestyle champion Roman Bravo-Young. However, the bout was pulled for undisclosed reasons. They were scheduled to compete for the bantamweight championship in October 2025 at RAF 02 but Bravo-Young had to withdraw due to an injury.

Dylan Ragusin was originally scheduled to face Nick Suriano. However, Suriano withdrew and was replaced by Juan Archuleta.

Yonger Bastida was originally scheduled to face Greg Kerkvliet. However, Kerkvliet withdrew and was replaced by Zachery Elam.
