Dillon Danis makes a Hip-hop reference ahead of his fight against Logan Paul
In the image posted by, ‘El Jefe,’ the 30-year-old appears to be facing off against Paul. ‘The Maverick,’ is seen making guns signs while the Bellator fighter stood tall. However, what was peculiar about his post was the caption. He mentioned 2-3 lines of the famous rap song of Eminem ‘8 mile’. He stated, “What’s the matter, d*wg? You embarrassed? This guy’s a gangster?His real name’s Clarence And Clarence lives at home with both parents. And Clarence’ parents have a real good marriage. This guy don’t wanna battle, he’s shook ‘Cause ain’t no such things as halfway crooks He’s scared to death, he’s scared to look in his fucking yearbook; f*ck Cranbrook” Here is how the fans reacted:
A fan lauded Danis for his efforts to promoter the fight. At the same time, a fan urged him to not box Paul but rather grapple with him.
Good job promoting the fight @dillondanis
But honestly just double leg/ guillotine him in the first.
You’ve won already, he’s a cuck and juice head b*tch.

Meanwhile, another fan sarcastically speculated how Paul would handle a potential defeat by acting as if it didn’t bother him.

On the contrary, one fan trolled Danis instead of Paul by inferring that the 30 year old cannot pull out of the fight now.
