Former UFC title challenger set to face Dillon Danis at RAF 7
· Yahoo Sports
RAF 7 certainly has the makings for some high-voltage drama.
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington will face Dillon Danis in a wrestling match at RAF 7 on March 28 in Tampa, Florida. Covington is known as one of the most ruthless trash talkers in UFC history, often dragging in his opponents’ families. Meanwhile, Danis has gained notoriety over the years by stirring up trouble at combat sports events with his mere presence. Danis originally rose to fame as a grappling partner of Conor McGregor. While the two seemingly have drifted apart over time, “El Jefe” managed to stay relevant by regularly getting into brawls.
Danis competed twice in MMA from 2018 to 2019, winning both bouts via submission under the Bellator banner. Danis fought Logan Paul in a boxing match in 2023, which ended in a massive brawl after “El Jefe” caught Paul in a headlock. Danis recently became the Misfits MMA light heavyweight champion with a submission win over Warren Spencer last year.
Meanwhile, Covington hasn’t fought in the UFC since a stoppage loss against Joaquin Buckley in December 2024. “Chaos” recently defeated Luke Rockhold via a technical fall in a wrestling match at RAF 5 this past January.
RAF 7 will be headlined by a grudge rematch between Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas. The two previously met at RAF 6 last month, where Poullas was accused of multiple fouls, and Tsarukyan punched him after beating him by points.
