Alex Pereira backs Dillon Danis to join the UFC

After Conor McGregor’s friend Dillon Danis lost to Logan Paul in his first-ever boxing match, he shared a tweet and claimed that he was aiming to get signed by the UFC. Moreover, he was also released from Bellator. While fans did not like the idea of Danis coming to the UFC, former middleweight champion Alex Pereira seems to be in favor of the BJJ specialist.

“He’s a very talented kid. We had two [training] sessions. He’s a great guy and the fact that he’s actually in negotiation with the UFC or trying to get in is very awesome and I’m pumped for it. I am rooting for him,” said Alex Pereira.

Nate Diaz accepts Deontay Wilder’s MMA challenge

Former world champion Deontay Wilder bumped into an MMA media outlet. They asked him if he’d consider fighting Nate Diaz in an MMA fight, who expressed his urge to fight boxers. Wilder said, “Nate, call me up bro… I’d be down to get in there with Nate for sure.” The Stockton native quickly took notice of it and accepted the heavyweight boxer’s challenge on Twitter (X).

“Let’s get these contract(s) written up asap..Real fight sh*t to a real fighter down to fight for real. All love to boxing But this is different real sh*t LFG 1993,” said Nate Diaz. We’ve seen many MMA fighters compete in boxing matches. However, a boxer has yet to challenge an MMA fighter in a cage fight. We will have to wait and see how that pans out.
