Dillon Danis and his antics prolong. The 30-year-old Bellator fighter is crossing over to face Logan Paul on the ‘MISFITS 009,’ boxing card. Paul, although primarily an entertainer has got more experience inside the boxing ring than Danis. ‘The Maverick,’ competed against KSI twice and faced one of the greatest boxers of all time, Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Danis is predominantly a grappler and has only fought inside the octagon on two occasions.
During the lead-up to the bout, ‘El Jefe,’ time and again reminded Paul that he would win in a “real” fight. With just days left for their match, the two combatants were expected to showcase their skillsets in an open workout. All the fighters on the card had their own unique way of displaying their workout but none as peculiar as Paul and Danis.
The YouTuber-cum-WWE star threw only one punch on the pad and started to grapple with his training partner. Prior to him, even Danis was playing around with his training partner. Witnessing this, fans called for a rule change in their bout.
