Dillon Danis?has a knack for grabbing headlines. His upcoming fight with Logan Paul is nothing short of a drama-packed bout. The fight is set to take place on 14th October in the Manchester Arena. The fight is part of an undercard for a main event. KSI and Tommy Fury will be the main event in a cruiserweight match. It’s no news that Dillon Danis has repeatedly targeted Logan Paul’s fianc?e, Nina Agdal, on social media. Because of this, Agdal is suing Danis for $150,000.

However, this isn’t the first time Danis is at the center of a burning debacle. A few years ago, he was part of the most talked-about brawls in UFC history. Now, picture yourself as Dillon Danis, the man who allegedly triggered Khabib Nurmagomedov’s infamous leap off of the Octagon. The notorious post-fight incident after the bout between Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor still lingers in the minds of many UFC fans. UFC President Dana White had said that he felt “sick and disgusted” by the events that unfolded after the fight. What exactly did Danis say to ignite such a fire in ‘The Eagle’?

The friction between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dillon Danis is not a recent development. According to an article by JOE.co.uk, this tension has its roots in their teenage years. This goes back to when Danis had a disagreement with Khabib when he was just a teenager, a dispute that originated during their shared training days. Fast forward to UFC 205, and Danis, who was part of McGregor?s team, felt the hostile gaze of Khabib’s entourage.

According to reports, Danis allegedly made racist comments towards Khabib during the UFC 229 event. The MMA star has since denied such allegations. However, the mere accusation was enough to make Khabib leap off the Octagon and directly confront Danis. This led to an all-out brawl involving both teams, resulting in suspensions and fines for key players.

Khabib, on the other hand, has been less vocal about the specific words exchanged but expressed regret for his actions. The Nevada State Athletic Commission took the incident seriously, imposing hefty fines and suspensions on both fighters, including a $500,000 fine for Khabib and a $50,000 fine for McGregor.
