It appears that Bellator veteran Dillon Danis wants to return to the cage.
The controversial āEl Jefeā hasnāt been seen in action since his boxing match with Logan Paul a year ago. In the co-main event of Misfits 10, Dillon Danis was badly outboxed by āThe Maverickā. Despite a lot of pre-fight trash talk, the MMA fighter was very little more than a heavy bag last October.
Ultimately, Dillon Danis was disqualified after failing to secure a takedown and guillotine choke. Post-fight, the grappler attempted to get the fight result overturned. However, Danisā appeal went nowhere. Following the embarrassing loss to Paul, the 31-year-old was released from Bellator.
Since then, Dillon Danis hasnāt signed a deal to return to the cage or the ring. However, it appears that could change soon. Taking to X earlier today, Danis wrote that heās attempting to sign a deal to return to the cage. However, he added that several high-profile names including Nate Diaz have turned him down.
Dillon Danis reveals plans for MMA return one year after loss to Logan Paul
Itās worth noting that one of those names, Mike Perry, has been linked to Dillon Danis in the past. Before signing a short-notice deal to face Jake Paul in July, the two nearly fought under the Misfits Boxing banner. However, the fight was going to be an MMA fight, not a boxing match.
According to āEl Jefeā, the BKFC star has seemingly changed his mind regarding an MMA fight. Then again, Perry has a lot more issues to deal with at the moment, given his recent DUI arrest. Nonetheless, it seems that the former submission grappler is struggling to find any opponent at the moment.
Whenever Dillon Danis appears in the cage next, it will be his first fight in the cage since June 2019. That night at Bellator 222, the grappler scored a first-round submission victory over Max Humphrey.
HorseShit
Still mad at Danis for not backing up all the trash talk leading up to the Logan fight.
Logan is an absolute scumbag and Danis would have done the world a favour by beating him.
Instead it looked like he just did some basic conditioning work instead of proper hard boxing training in preparation for the fight.
So he never got the pager we sent?
Yup. The amount of shit he talked and the performance that followed made me remember why I didnāt like himā¦
What a titā¦
