Khamzat Chimaev had to be physically restrained during a chaotic altercation at the RAF 14 pre-fight press conference on Thursday.

Khamzat Chimaev was involved in a physical altercation at the Real American Freestyle (RAF) 14 pre-fight press conference on Thursday. Footage from the event captures security personnel and bystanders working to restrain Chimaev as he directed verbal threats toward individuals near the stage, notably shouting, 'I’ll f—k you up bro!' at the scene.

The commotion, which occurred during a press event focused on an upcoming matchup between Arman Tsarukyan and Dillon Danis, reflects the ongoing volatility often associated with promotional appearances involving high-profile competitors. While RAF is marketed as a wrestling-focused promotion, the organization has recently become synonymous with chaotic scuffles occurring outside the field of competition.

Chimaev, who has recently been linked to discussions regarding potential future bouts in the UFC, was ultimately separated from the area of the scuffle to allow the proceedings to continue. No injuries or official disciplinary actions regarding the incident have been reported by the promotion at this time. This appearance marks another instance of unrest occurring during the lead-up to an RAF event.
