However, Danis remains steadfast in his claims that he did no such thing. “They’re talking about him suing too like you don’t fight I mean you don’t sue. Fighting like that’s just one rule a Fight Club you know so obviously he’s not a real fighter.” He confidently adds, “When I break his jaw on Saturday he’s going to go back to the fake sh*t”

For so obviously. It’s true so it wouldn’t work if it was like some really, like a nice guy with like a nice family.” Danis proceeded to point out how the trolling was made a much bigger deal than it was meant to be.
