Like the marauding Mongols of the medieval ages, Dillon Danis relishes the carnage each of his visits triggers. The Bellator MMA fighter has not seen the inside of a ring, the octagonal or the squared one, since 2019. So how do you stay relevant?

Anthony Taylor versus Dillon Danis

A video clip is the latest entry in his balance sheet. At the Misfits Boxing weigh-in function, El Jefe, attempting to stand head and shoulder above, punched his probable opponent, KSI. Misfits Boxing is KSI’s boxing venture. In collaboration with Logan Paul, he is also into making the energy drink Prime Hydration.

Pretty amateurish, if you ask a dyed-in-the-wool pugilist, the unsavory aggression left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Not one to swallow up, Jake Paul‘s training partner, chased and caught up with Danis’ entourage outside. Now part of the larger Olatunji – Paul family, it was probably the golden opportunity the Alameda native Anthony Taylor was yearning for all these years.

And the chase he gave to prove himself more loyal than the king. Soon, it became clear the situation demanded more than just verbal exchanges of extreme depth. Hands followed, first with pushing and shoving. Now you can’t expect the punches to watch and wait for their turn in vanity, right?

Pushed to a corner by probably who seem to be the retainers and security detail of Danis, a right hand from Taylor landed neatly on the former’s face. Probably the New Jersey boy did have a point when he hit KSI. He should fight Pretty Boy Taylor!

The Twitter Rumble

As if the fans wanted this to happen and rushed toward their keyboards.

In unison, Hail The Pretty Boy !!

More appreciation for Taylor followed.

A rocking exit for Dillon Danis?

Anthony Taylor lost his last bout against Chris Avilla on 18th December last year. Since then, the Pretty Boy, whose antics outside the ring have captured more space in headlines, is rubbing every lamp for the djinn to emerge and grant his wishes.
