Logan Paul reveals drug test results from Dillon Danis fight I wanna address the steroid allegations

Logan Paul posts his drug tests results after speculation that the American has been taking performance enhancing drugs. 

Earlier this month, Logan Paul would defeat Dillon Danis after an extremely ugly and personal build-up. Neither man was particularly impressive and after all the talk of knockouts and pain the pair were underwhelming and produced little action. 

Still though, the win will undoubtedly still fuel Paul’s ever-growing ego and belief in his at best, novice, boxing skills. 

Logan Paul shares VADA testing results

One attack from Danis during their build up was Pauls’ alleged use of PEDs. Danis is not the only one to accuse the American, fans and experts alike to share the believed that Paul takes some sort of drug. 

However, Paul has always refuted any PED accusation and recently release his VADA drug testing results.

“I got my results back from VADA today,” Paul said. “I wanna address the steroids allegations before you see any news. I wanna confess … I have been taking a lot of Prime Energy and putting it in my mouth and then swallowing it. That gives me a good boost for my workouts which makes me have a good physique. (H/T MMA Mania)

The results are negative, haters, you’re gonna have to keep trying. No performance-enhancing drugs, like I said. Good luck next time though, you (expletive) dorks!”

This information is extremely misleading, and Paul knows it. Without consistent and randomized drug testing, these tests can be passed easily – especially with someone who has the resources that Paul has. 

Testing agencies often get back positive results on a level far less than can be expected when considering the amount of athletes that are on steroids. The exact amount is disputed, but on a safe estimate of 4% still does not cut it.

Dana White unsure on signing Dillon Danis to the UFC I haven't thought about it

UFC CEO Dana White responds to rumours regarding Dillon Danis possibly signing with the promotion.

The career of Dillon Danis has been an odd one to say the least, a once promising MMA fighter turned to cannon fodder for influencer boxers. The 30-year-old came to prominence through his links with Conor McGregor, heling the Irishman out with his BJJ.

After being signed to Bellator, Danis would only compete twice for the promotion against low-level competition. Then came the in juries and out-of-competition troubles that has forced Danis to not enter the cage since 2019. 

Then Danis would sign to fight YouTuber Logan Paul, absolutely thrashing Paul on social media in the build-up to the fight. However, his performance was awful, landing in the singly digits and displayed little boxing skill. 

Dillon Danis wants in the UFC

His performance and lack of MMA activity has still not stopped Danis from claiming a UFC move should be next. ‘El jefe’ was recently let go from Bellator and has called for a move to the UFC.

“I think the UFC now will see my potential in selling fights and everything like that. Sign me,” Danis said. “Let’s do it, Give me the biggest fight, give me anybody you want. Just don’t send anybody you want back. I’ll beat them all.  I want to prove what I’m saying is true, because it pissed me off that people don’t believe in me, so I want to go out there and I’ll fight any one of them.”

When asked about the move , White would simply answer – “I don’t know, I haven’t even actually thought about that.”

to his credit, Danis has managed to consistently grab headlines throughout his absence from competition, and when he did finally fight, he was arguably the biggest talking point of the event.

Dillon Danis released from Bellator MMA contract enters free agency

Undefeated welterweight grappler, Dillon Danis has officially been released from his multi-fight contract with the Scott Coker-led, Bellator MMA this weekend – bringing an end to his two-fight stint with the organization.

Danis, a who boasts an unbeaten 2-0 professional mixed martial arts record, has yet to compete inside the cage since he locked up a first round armbar submission win over Max Humphrey at Bellator 222 in New York City.

Just last weekend, New Jersey native, Danis made his return to combat sports competition, fighting professional wrestling star and podcast host, Logan Paul in a tense, bad-blooded professional boxing match – suffering a disqualification loss in their Manchester showdown. 

Prior and after the bout, Danis, a training partner of former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor, called for multiple debuts in the Octagon – welcoming fights with the likes of Nate Diaz, Khamzat Chimaev, and Kevin Holland to name a few. 

And off the back of his boxing match with Paul, it seems Danis will be free to test the waters and markets, landing his release from Bellator MMA officially.

“Dillon Danis is a free agent,” Ariel Helwani posted on his official X account. “Bellator officially released Danis this weekend, sources say.” 

A decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Danis, who made his mixed martial arts debut back in 2018 with a first round toe hold submission win over Kyle Walker under the Bellator MMA banner, had been sidelined from combat sports competition amid a slew of knee injuries, undergoing multiple surgical procedures to address. 

Dillon Danis calls for fight with Islam Makhachev after UFC 294

And off the back of his release from Bellator MMA, Danis has immediately took aim at last night’s UFC 294 headliner, Islam Makhachev, vowing to “play with” the lightweight champion, who stopped featherweight kingpin, Alexander Volkanovski with a thunderous first round high-kick KO in their title fight rematch.

“Unfinished Business,” Dillon Danis posted on his official X account. “Mark my words, I’ll play with this inbred.”

Logan Paul denies Dillon Danis a rematch in MMA: ‘He doesn’t deserve the platform’

Logan Paul

If you were hoping to see Logan Paul and Dillon Danis run it back inside a cage, we’ve got bad news for you.

On Saturday, October 14, the pair of social media stars strapped on the eight-ounce gloves for a clash inside Manchester’s AO Arena. After nearly six rounds of lackluster action that saw Danis land a total of 16 strikes, Paul emerged as the winner when Danis was disqualified for attempting a takedown in the waning seconds of the contest.

Looking back on the bout 72 hours later, Logan Paul squashed any hopes of seeing a rematch between the two in mixed martial arts, noting that he initially agreed to it only if Danis surrendered his entire fight purse to him. Of course, with a pending lawsuit and some potentially hefty legal fees looming, we can’t see Danis handing over his paycheck, and neither can Paul.

Logan Paul says Dillon Danis doesn’t deserve a rematch

Aside from that, Paul has no interest in giving Danis another platform to run his mouth and make money.

“I said I would if he gave me his whole purse, which is not going to happen, obviously,” Paul said during the latest episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast. “He doesn’t deserve the platform. We saw the kind of person he is. I walked into the arena to boos. I left to cheers. No one likes that dirty fight sh*t, bro.

“You came to box. Respect the sport. Respect me as an opponent. Back up your words. Are you a man? You can’t talk that much sh*t for three months, you can’t try to ruin someone’s life, and then come in there with that kind of performance” (h/t MMA Fighting).

In the months leading up to their critically panned showdown, Dillon Danis made things as dirty as possible, going after Logan Paul’s fiancee, swimsuit model Nina Agdal. The BJJ specialist posted a plethora of memes, comments, and NSFW images of the Dane online, incessantly trolling her and poking fun at past relationships.

Before long, Agdal decided to fight back, securing a restraining order that prevented Danis from posting any sexually explicit photos of her without permission. She also filed a lawsuit against Danis, claiming that he had violated state and federal ‘revenge porn’ laws during his online onslaught.

With an MMA rematch against Logan Paul no longer in the cards, Danis’ next fight will likely be in the courtroom.

Dillon Danis

After proving his ability to sell a fight under the Misfits Boxing banner, Dillon Danis hopes to bring his unique talents to the Octagon.

On October 14, Danis made his first appearance in more than four years, strapping on the eight-ounce gloves for a boxing match with social media sensation Logan Paul. After six rounds of mostly lackluster action, Danis was disqualified for attempting to take down Paul in the waning seconds of the final round.

Despite his unimpressive showing, only throwing 16 total strikes in nearly 18 minutes, Danis has largely been credited with the pay-per-view’s reported 1.3 million buys, making it the most successful non-professional boxing event of all time.

Proving himself to be a draw, Dillon Danis hopes that UFC CEO Dana White will come calling with an offer to bring him into the Las Vegas-based promotion.

“After this, I want to go to the UFC,” Danis revealed in an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “I think the UFC will see my potential in selling fights and everything like that.”

With the UFC always looking for the next big personality to sell fights and boost buy rates, Danis would likely fit right into the promotion’s desire to be more entertainment than sport these days.

Dillon Danis slams hip-hop star Drake for betting against him

Ahead of his fight with Logan Paul, Danis learned that Canadian hip-hop star and perennial combat sports bettor Drake had placed a $850,000 bet against him, believing Paul would knock out Danis during their six-round scrap.

Asked about Drake’s bet during his conversation with Piers Morgan, Danis admitted frustration over the news, claiming that he and Drake were friends.

“We’re friends too. That hurt me. He lost. Yeah, me and Drake were friends so I didn’t like how he supported Logan. It’s messed up,” Danis said. “Hopefully, he watches this and he’ll reach out to me. Should have bet on me. I thought we were friends, Drake. That’s messed up. Logan’s not one of us. We don’t sue. We don’t do lawsuits. Drake is a gangster like me. We don’t do that kind of stuff so I don’t know. I think Drake would have sided with me in my opinion. Logan’s a p*ssy.

“He wanted a sue-off. He didn’t want to fight. He wanted to pull out of this fight and he learned it was real when he threw that water bottle at me and I hit him with that mic. Cut his face open and almost gave him a concussion. He knew it was real. He’s not a real fighter. He’s an entertainer. He’s not built for this” (h/t MiddleEasy).

Dillon Danis managed to avoid being KO’d during the bout, keeping the infamous Drake curse alive and well.

Dillon Danis reportedly cleared more than a million dollars for his co-main event clash with Logan Paul in Manchester.

That’s according to the man himself who revealed the number during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. During the episode, Morgan presented a check payable to Logan Paul after Dillon Danis had agreed to give up his entire fight purse to the social media star in the event of a loss. Danis then revealed that the number on the check would be “over a million dollars,” giving us our first estimate of just how much money Danis made as part of the Misfits Boxing card.

With their rivalry at a boiling point courtesy of Dillon Danis’ incessant trolling on social media, the two men finally stepped inside the squared circle on Saturday night and delivered what many believe was a disappointing end to an entertaining rivalry. Through six rounds of action, Danis was little more than a punching bag, opting to keep his guard high and eat everything that Paul threw at him.

In the end, Danis threw a total of 16 punches and was ultimately disqualified after attempting to lock in a guillotine choke on Paul in the waning seconds of the final round.

Dillon Danis plans on appealing dQ loss to Logan paul

Even without the disqualification, ring announcer Michael Buffer made it a point to announce that Logan Paul was up on every scorecard through the first five rounds.

However, Danis reportedly plans on appealing the decision, suggesting that Paul should have been disqualified when one of his security team members preemptively entered the ring before the final bell. Paul also took a swing at Danis while the BJJ specialist was on the canvas following his ill-advised attempt to wrestle Paul to the ground.

“There was multiple offenses I’ll be submitting my appeal to the commission today,” Danis wrote on X.

Considering he went for two very blatant takedowns during the final round of their boxing match, we can’t see the commission making any kind of reversal, especially for a non-professional bout that could have headlined a Fight Circus event.
