The brief

Dillon Danis has pulled out of his scheduled fight against Mike Perry. MMA Fighting first reported the news, noting that Perry had vowed to deliver a 'blood sacrifice' at Dual Arena 1, regardless of his opponent. MMA Junkie and MMA Mania later announced that two other events, RAF 13 and RAF 14, have been rescheduled.

MMA Mania also reported that Danis' injury has forced the rescheduling of his crossover title fight. MMA Fighting and Yahoo Sports both noted that Danis' withdrawal has resulted in a significant pay cut for Perry. MMA Sucka and Bloody Elbow also covered the trash talk between Danis and Diaz.

The current state of the events remains uncertain. MMA Junkie and MMA Mania have announced new dates for RAF 13 and RAF 14, but the specifics of Perry's new opponent and the rescheduled fights are not yet clear.
