Khamzat Chimaev secured a swift pinfall victory over Dillon Danis in the main event of RAF 10, but mere seconds later, a mass brawl erupted on stage.

Considered one of RAF's biggest acquisitions, Chimaev did not disappoint with his wrestling prowess. He executed a quick takedown, then rolled Danis onto his back until his shoulders touched the mat. The referee immediately called the pin, ending the bout and awarding Chimaev the win.

However, a second later, Danis was still holding Chimaev's leg, prompting the former UFC middleweight champion to kick him while he was on the ground. This proved to be the spark that ignited a mass brawl, as Chimaev and Danis attempted to turn the wrestling match into a street fight on stage.

Members of both teams stormed the mat as the melee continued, with security desperately trying to regain control of the situation.

This was the ugliest scene to unfold in RAF since Arman Tsarukyan struck Giorgio Poulos after their first match, which also ended in a fight.

While not entirely unexpected, Chimaev and Danis managed to maintain civility during the RAF 10 press conference on Friday, but evidently, all that changed after Saturday's match.
