“Elon moves fast and thanks @MMAFPress for the breaking news.”
Dillion Danis initially retweeted this parody news post from the MMAFPress. However, it was removed later on.
Also, MMAFPress mentioned a fake quote from Elon Musk, “D**do Denise is a cancer to society and the faster we get him off Twitter,the better.”
Nate Diaz‘s friend and training partner Jake Shields showed major interest in the news. The two often engage in verbal sparring on Twitter. Dillion Danis has even teased a fight with the UFC veteran.

Anyhow, Danis has been out of the cage for quite some time now. If both fighters demand to face each other inside the cage, Bellator’s Scott Coker would be more than happy to welcome a fight between them.
Is Elon Musk buying UFC?
Most MMA fighters are very active on Twitter. Hence, they are interested in Tesla’s head taking control of the social platform. However, one of the pioneers of British MMA had a rather unusual speculation.
Former UFC welterweight title challenger, Dan Hardy, tweeted a wish about Elon Musk and the UFC.
It would be awesome if @elonmusk bought the @UFC next. 😁#UFC#Twitter #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech

“It would be awesome if @elonmusk bought the@UFC next.”
The UFC let go of ‘Outlaw’ after some dispute. Thus, perhaps the former UFC analyst and commentator wants Musk in a power position in the UFC.
