Dillon Danis considered taking his own life after multiple knee injuries halted his MMA career

In 2019, Dillon Danis appeared to be on the cusp of a successful mixed martial arts career.

In 2019, Dillon Danis appeared to be on the cusp of a successful mixed martial arts career.

After making a name for himself as a world-class BJJ specialist, Dillon Danis moved from the mat to the cage and scored back-to-back first-round submissions under the Bellator banner. Things appeared to be full steam ahead for Danis, but a series of devastating knee injuries derailed everything.

As a result, Danis found himself in an incredibly dark place. During an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Danis revealed that during his recovery, Danis regularly drowned his sorrows with alcohol and contemplated whether or not his life was still one worth living.

“It got to the point where I didn’t know if I was going to be alive again,” Danis said. “There’s a lot of people with a lot more problems than me. You go from training, being so good, and then just sitting there in a cast, can’t move, don’t know if you’re ever going to be the same. Twice in the same year. You get into a dark place. You start drinking, you do bad things. And then all you do is just drink all day” (h/t MMA News).

Dillon Danis’ New Lease on Life

In recent years, Dillon Danis has seemingly found a new lease on life by becoming one of social media’s most prominent trolls. That reputation has landed him an opportunity to compete for the first time in more than four years on October 14. Danis is scheduled to make his boxing debut against WWE Superstar Logan Paul as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ in Manchester.

Determined to make the most of the opportunity, Danis put his skills to work by launching an all-out online attack on Paul and his fiancee, Danish swimsuit model Nina Agdal. In August, Danis saw his social media numbers skyrocket as a result, with an insane two billion impressions and more than doubling his follower count. Unfortunately, Danis may have taken things a little too far, prompting Agdal to file a lawsuit against Danis for allegedly violating state and federal ‘revenge porn’ laws.

Despite the pending litigation, everything continues to be full steam ahead when it comes to his clash with Logan Paul later this month.

Dillon Danis expects eventual UFC move, welcomes future fight with Nate Diaz: ‘We have history’

Preoccupied by an expected professional boxing match with YouTuber and professional wrestling star, Logan Paul later this month in London, Bellator MMA welterweight and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Dillon Danis has claimed he expects to eventually fight under the UFC banner – welcoming a potential clash with former title challenger, Nate Diaz. Danis, a hugely-outspoken grappler, […]

Danis, a hugely-outspoken grappler, is slated to co-headline a boxing card in London, England later this month, taking on Paul beneath a headliner between UK rapper and YouTuber, KSI, and reality television star, Tommy Fury – the half-brother of incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.

Dillon Danis expects eventual move to the UFC

And sharing a distinct and hugely-controversial run-up to his fight with Ohio native, Fury, Danis has notably targeted the former’s fianceé, Nina Agdal, Danis has received his fair share of criticizm across his social media platforms, however, has claimed he expects to soon take his promotion and talents to the UFC.

“Yes,” Dillon Danis told MMA Fighting regarding the chances of a future move to the UFC. “Or if the money is good, Jake Paul or KSI [in boxing]. Maybe. Tempting. It would be big, Imagine (Paul) to avenge his brother? In reality, who does Jake have to fight? Besides Tommy, if Tommy loses. Someone else? You know who I wanna box – Nate Diaz. We have a history. It’s not far off the table.”

Undefeated in mixed martial arts, New Jersey-born grappler, Danis most recently landed a first round armbar submission win over Max Humphrey back in June 2019, however, has since been sidelined through a slew of knee injuries suffered in recent years.

How do you think Dillon Danis would fare under the UFC banner?

Dillon Danis willing to fight Jake Paul in PFL, claims he would walk through Francis Ngannou: ‘He’s terrible’

Dillon Danis has no interest in going to the Professional Fighters League unless it’s for a fight with Jake Paul. On October 14, Danis is scheduled to step inside the ring with Jake Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ in Manchester. Ahead of his long-awaited return to competition, […]

Dillon Danis has no interest in going to the Professional Fighters League unless it’s for a fight with Jake Paul.

On October 14, Danis is scheduled to step inside the ring with Jake Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ in Manchester. Ahead of his long-awaited return to competition, Dillon Danis joined Ariel Helwani in studio during the latest episode of The MMA Hour to discuss his upcoming boxing debut and what could potentially come next.

Helwani suggested that the PFL could be a good home for Danis, a notion that the BJJ specialist quickly scoffed at, saying:

“Only way I’ll go to PFL is if they give me the Jake Paul fight,” Danis said. “I don’t want to fight nobody in the PFL. They’re all losers.”

Helwani responded to Danis by pointing out that the PFL had just signed one of the best heavyweight fighters in the world, Francis Ngannou. That only encouraged Danis to double down on his comments, suggesting that he would handily beat ‘The Predator’ in a fight.

“You know I’d beat Francis,” Danis added. “That’s not a lie. I’ll pull guard so easy. He’s terrible. Heavyweights are known to be the worst technical fighters of all time. Even in wrestling and jiu-jitsu, they’re all terrible.

We’ll just put that into the overflowing file of fantastical claims made by Dillon Danis.

Dillon Danis Suggests He May Not Show Up on October 14

Dillon Danis was once considered to be the laughingstock of the MMA community. And to some he still is, but Danis has found a massive following online in recent weeks after he relentlessly trolled Logan Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal on social media. Last month, Danis’ account on X had an absolutely insane two billion impressions, and he had more than doubled his follower count, all by making light of Agdal’s alleged history with past partners.

Some have suggested that with Dillon Danis’ newfound fame online, he may try to find a way out of his fight with Logan Paul in the UK. Danis added some fuel to that fire during his conversation with Helwani on Monday.

“At this point, why do I even show up,” Danis said while referring to the fact that he is receiving zero pay-per-view points despite doing more than anyone to draw attention to the event.

UFC star Conor McGregor unable to train Dillon Danis for boxing match with Logan Paul: ‘I tried to bring him out’

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has revealed that despite plans to train Straight Blast Gym training partner, Dillon Danis for his upcoming October boxing match with Logan Paul, the pair failed to link up amid a recent training camp in Cannes, France. McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of […]

McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon amid a fractured leg suffered back in 2021, in his trilogy rubber match loss to former interim titleholder, Dustin Poirier.

And despite initially laying out plans for a December return this year at the welterweight limit against Michael Chandler, McGregor has since seen that timeframe quashed, with UFC CEO, Dana White instead confirming how he expects the Crumlin striker to instead make a return in 2024.

Conor McGregor unable to link up with Dillon Danis for Logan Paul fight

Sharing his thoughts on Danis’ upcoming professional boxing debut against the outspoken, Paul next month in the UK, McGregor remains non-committal on if he would even attend the showcase, before revealing he never got the chance to train Danis for the bout.

“Dillon’s (Danis) gonna win, Dillon will win,” Conor McGregor told All Out Fighting. “You know, [Dillon Danis] had the baby, we didn’t get to train together. So, I don’t know the ins and outs. I know he’s doing well, he’s still training and he’s gonna go for it. He’s had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon’s good.” (H/T TalkSPORT)

In recent weeks, footage has emerged of Danis training alongside former undisputed middleweight UFC champion, Alex Pereira in Connecticut – as the Brazilian prepares for his own fighting return at UFC 295 in November at Madison Square Garden, taking on Jiri Prochazka for the vacant light heavyweight title.

When do you expect Conor McGregor to make his UFC return?

BJJ specialist Dillon Danis has enlisted the assistance of three-time GLORY Kickboxing world champion Alex Pereira ahead of his highly anticipated clash with social media sensation Logan Paul.

On October 14, Danis is scheduled to make his long-awaited return to competitive combat sports when he steps inside the squared circle for a scrap with Paul as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ in Manchester, England. With the bout closing in and some serious bragging rights at stake, Danis has called in one of the UFC’s biggest guns to help him get ready for his boxing debut.

In a post on social media, Danis revealed that he has been training with none other than the former UFC middleweight world champion, Alex Pereira.

“Heavy rounds today with @AlexPereiraUFC Don’t worry Logan, get the ring cards ready for Nina,” Danis wrote. “I’ll be there October 14th and I’m gonna break your face p*ssy.”

Ahead of his epic UFC 293 title win against Israel Adesanya, Sean Strickland was also spotted training alongside Alex Pereira. Will Dillon Danis see similar results from his work with the heavy-handed Brazilian?

The Warfare Between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul Began Long Before Their Scheduled Scrap

The showdown between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul may still be a few weeks away, but the war has been raging on from the moment that the bout was officially announced. Over the last month and a half, Danis has routinely targeted Paul on social media by regularly taking digs at the WWE Superstar’s fiancee, swimsuit model Nina Agdal. Danis has relentlessly trolled Agdal, using her dating history as an opportunity slut-shame the Dane more than 250 times online.

However, Danis appeared to take things too far when he posted a sexually explicit image of Agdal on X. The photo was reportedly taken during “a romantic encounter” more than a decade ago and was not meant for public distribution. As a result, Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis noting that he had violated state and federal ‘revenge porn’ laws by sharing the photo without her consent. That move could end up costing Danis hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Despite that, Dillon Danis has still regularly taken digs at both Agdal and Paul on social media, but the frequency of his posts has slowed significantly due to the impending lawsuit and an enforced restraining order preventing Danis from posting any sexually explicit photos of Agdal.

Dillon Danis no-shows Nina Agdal hearing on Tuesday, judge enforces restraining order

Dillon Danis ducked a Tuesday hearing after Logan Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, filed a restraining order against the BJJ specialist.

Dillon Danis ducked a Tuesday hearing after Logan Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, filed a restraining order against the BJJ specialist.

Danis is expected to step inside the squared circle for a scrap with Paul as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ on October 14 in Manchester. Though the bout may be just under a month away, the warfare has been going on for weeks with Danis regularly targeting Paul’s fiancée, swimsuit model Nina Agdal, in a series of online attacks.

Regularly poking fun at her alleged past with multiple partners, Danis seemingly took things too far when he posted an NSFW image of Agdal on X (formerly Twitter) that was reportedly taken during “a romantic encounter” more than a decade ago.

After more than 250 posts tormenting Agdal on social media, the Dane had finally had enough and filed for a restraining order against the former Conor McGregor coach. On Tuesday, a hearing was set to address the validity of the TRO, but Danis was nowhere to be found prompting the presiding judge to enforce its conditions.

Since Danis was not present to challenge the order, New Jersey federal judge Madeline Cox Arleo determined that Danis “and all persons in active concert or participation with him” are barred from posting “sexually explicit photographs” of Agdal without her permission.

Dillon Danis Could Be on the Hook for Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

Earlier this month, Agdal filed a federal lawsuit against Dillon Danis, claiming that he had violated both state and federal ‘revenge porn’ laws after posting the sexually explicit photo of her without consent. If he is found guilty, Danis could be on the hook for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars after causing “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm” to Agdal.

Thus far, Dillon Danis’ bout with Logan Paul is still scheduled to go down next month, but Misfits Boxing has already taken steps to protect their card in the event Danis withdraws or is ultimately pulled from the card. BKFC standout ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has been enlisted as the backup for the bout, ensuring that Paul will have an opponent waiting for him one way or another.

But it’s safe to assume that all parties involved are hoping that they can capitalize on the publicity that Danis’ antics have generated over the last few weeks.
