Dillon Danis Eyes UFC Horizon Despite Logan Paul Setback

Dillon Danis Unfazed by Defeat to Logan Paul, Teases UFC Debut

In the aftermath of a disappointing defeat against Logan Paul, Dillon Danis remains undeterred, teasing a potential shift to the UFC. The underwhelming bout, part of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card, has sparked a flurry of reactions within the combat sports sphere.

The AO Arena in Manchester, England, witnessed an anticlimactic showdown as Dillon Danis clashed with Logan Paul in a six-round boxing spectacle. With both combatants exhibiting low engagement, Danis drew criticism for his sparse 70 punches, landing a mere 12. However, the bout’s conclusive chaos wasn’t due to the punches thrown. Instead, a final-round disqualification marred Danis’s record, following an illegal choke attempt, igniting a post-fight fracas.

In a surprising turn, Danis took to the social media platform X mere hours after the event. Rather than expressing dismay, his reflections spanned various topics, from the fight’s outcome and Drake’s wager to future endeavors and an impending legal battle with Nina Agdal.

Danis’s stoic response post-defeat extends to a bold, succinct declaration that has the MMA community buzzing:

“UFC next.”

This assertion follows his prolonged absence from the ring, with his last Bellator appearance in 2019 marking a brief, victorious MMA stint with two first-round submissions.

Despite his lackluster performance against Paul, Danis didn’t shy away from lauding his own efforts or taking a jab at Nate Diaz, previously bested by Jake Paul. The brash fighter’s undeterred confidence amidst widespread critique hints at an intriguing future within the combat sports realm.

Dillon Danis’s recent loss and subsequent reactions underscore a complex persona that effortlessly remains in the spotlight, controversy notwithstanding. With hints at UFC ambitions, Danis’s path remains a captivating watch, promising potential clashes and continued bravado in and out of the ring.

UFC next.
