Raul Rosas Jr. Replaces Dillon Danis in Grappling Match Against Colby Covington

Published

The story

Dillon Danis withdrew from his upcoming grappling contest against Colby Covington at Hype Fighting in Rome, which was originally slated for November 3rd. This withdrawal marks the third time in the past year that Danis has backed out of a signed bout, following previous cancellations involving Mike Perry and Anthony Taylor.

In response to the vacancy, promotion organizers secured Raul Rosas Jr. as the replacement opponent on three days' notice. Rosas accepted the challenge during a press conference held today. While Danis has participated in three Real American Freestyle events over the last eight months, his recurring absences have created uncertainty regarding his future professional bookings.
