Dillon Danis reacts to KSI’s recent knockout win over FaZe temper this past weekend as part of the most recent influencer boxing event.

The bizarre world of influencer/celebrity boxing rages on as Misfits boxing put on another sold-out show at OVO Wembley Arena, London. While many traditional combat sports fans dislike and grow old of it, there is still a large audience, mostly consisting of young people that enjoys it.

While Saturday nights bill was headlined by multi-media superstar, KSI, the event also featured boxing matches with DJ’s, adult stars, YouTuber’s and even some professional fighters.

KSI would savagely knockout late replacement, FaZe Temper, who grew to fame playing Call of duty as part of FaZe clan, in the first round. Temper was of course late replacement for combat sports enigma, Dillon Danis, who pulled out of the fight allegedly citing a lack of preparation and coaching.

Danis would react to the KO, of course using the opportunity to further call out and goad KSI

That was an exhibition bout with someone you used to live with in LA, it is even illegal to bet on non-sanctioned bout that you just did in the USA. When you are ready for a professional fight with a real commission let me know @ksi.”, Danis said in a now-deleted tweet.

Danis of course gained notoriety as part of Conor McGregor’s camp ad his involvement in the Khabib Nurmagomedov incident. The 29-year-old is still under contract with Bellator after competing twice for the promotion in 2018 and 2019.

The American has managed to keep his name relevant with his social media antics, calling out fighters and YouTubers alike. Talk of a return to combat has come and gone for some time but it’s unclear if we will ever see Danis compete again.

KSI FaZe Temperrr Boxing

YouTuber and rap star, KSI, real name, Olajide Olatunji continues in his rich vein of form in consecutive exhibition boxing matches, tonight taking out short-notice opponent, FaZe Temperrr, otherwise known as Thomas Oliveira with a first round TKO victory in the main event of Misfits & DAZN X Series 4.

KSI, a popular YouTuber, social media star and rapper in the United Kingdom, previously headlined a Misfits Boxing event against both Brandon Scott, and Luis Alcaraz Pineda in the same night back in August of last year, scoring back-to-back knockout victories.

The 29-year-old returned to the squared circle tonight against the aforenoted, FaZe Temperrr, stopping the professional gamer with a straight hand to left hook combination — resulting in a knockdown within the opening two minutes of the first round.

KSI was iniaily scheduled to headline tonight’s card in London against Bellator MMA welterweight grappler, Dillon Danis, however, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace was removed from his would-be boxing debut after fight promoters raised their concerns that the New Jersey native was unprepared for the fight.

KSI holds a single professional win in boxing, defeating Logan Paul — the elder brother of the 6-0 puncher, Jake Paul back in November 2019 in California.

Sean O’Malley on Dillon Danis withdrawing from KSI fight: “I wonder if he even had intentions on fighting”

As we all know by now, former teammate of Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis has withdrawn from his upcoming boxing bout with KSI, which was set to go down on January 14, 2023, live from the OVO Arena Wembley in London, England.

This was to be the BJJ black belt’s first fight outside of an MMA cage, under a new rule set, prior to him pulling out on January 4, ten days before the fight was expected to take place.

KSI has since found a new opponent in Faze Temperrr, who’s 1-1 as a professional and 1-0 as an amateur, while KSI is 3-0 as a professional and 1-0-1 as an amateur. This should be an interesting match up, as Temperrr is 6’4” with a reach of 77”, while KSI is 6′ with a reach of 76”, both parties coming off knockout victories going into this bout next weekend.

Danis has been no stranger to upsetting the MMA community, and he continues to do so with the withdraw of this bout after making a true ass of himself on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour leading up, stating, ‘that’s the stupidest thing ever’ when told people are expecting him to pull out.

Danis also decided to no show the pre-fight press conference leading up, causing reason for suspicion.

Current no. 1 ranked UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley had the following to say in regards to this match up cancellation:

“Oh yeah Dillon Danis pulled out (of his) fight against KSI. Did you hear why? He couldn’t find a coach or a team to like, work with him. He’s underprepared and he is having trouble making weight. That’s what they said. So I wonder if he even had intentions on fighting.

“But yeah KSI is fighting Faze Temperrr now.”

O’Malley continued: “I’m curious if people are going to take fights with him. Like, no one known will. He’ll be able to fight some more bums probably.”

Danis hasn’t done too well in BJJ competition since being awarded his black belt, as he’s 1-6 in his last seven, and 2-7 in his last nine in grappling. Not to mention, he hasn’t fought in MMA since 2019, he doesn’t have sponsors, he doesn’t coach BJJ. How does he get by? It’s a noteworthy question.

It appears all Dillon Danis has left is Bellator. Will we ever see him fight again?

Michael Bisping had the opportunity to throw YouTuber-turned-professional boxer KSI around the gym in footage released by ESPN MMA on YouTube.

KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams, will make his return to the boxing ring when he takes on controversial combat sports figure Dillon Danis as part of the MF & DAZN: X Series 004 event on January 14th. Ahead of his return to the boxing ring, ESPN shared a video clip of KSI getting ragdolled by Michael Bisping. The two were brought together in 2018 to film promotional footage for the release of the EA Sports UFC 3 video game in 2018.

No Love Lost Between Michael Bisping and Dillon Danis

At the time, Bisping was only months removed from his final bout in the UFC. Since then, ‘The Count’ has stayed active in the sport, regularly working as a color analyst on UFC broadcasts and discussing all things MMA alongside Anthony Smith on his ‘Believe You Me’ podcast. Recently, Bisping found himself entwined in the rivalry between Dillon Danis and KSI when the former reached out to ‘The Count’ for his prediction.

“Hey Bisping, who you got winning,” Danis asked in a now-deleted Tweet. “Me or your hometown guy KSI?”

“Tough call,” Bisping said in response. “I mean, you’re known for having devastating boxing skills, right. I fear KSI may have messed up here.”

Of course, Michael Bisping’s response came with a healthy dose of sarcasm which was clearly recognized by Danis, prompting him to delete his initial tweet. As evidenced in the Twitter exchange below, there is no love lost between Danis and ‘The Count’ who often find themselves trading barbs on social media.
