It has finally happened: Dillon Danis has had a match with Logan Paul, and the world couldn’t believe it. The saga that had been brewing for months seems to have finally simmered down. Just like their feud, their fight was also filled with drama.
In adherence to his commitment, Logan Paul upheld his vow to outclass Danis to an extent that rendered the entire match profoundly one-sided. Paul dominated each round, culminating in his triumphant victory. Regrettably, Danis’ performance during the encounter garnered unwarranted attention from the MMA community.

The face-off between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul was highly anticipated due to the hype created by both adversaries. In his pursuit to challenge and demean Paul, Danis verbally attacked Paul’s fiancee, Nina Adgal. What was supposed to be light-hearted banter mutated into a monstrous feud!
Despite the looming shadow of uncertainty surrounding Danis potentially backing out at the last moment, he ultimately made his way to the fight. Nevertheless, ‘El Jefe’ hardly demonstrated any fighting spirit. Paul asserted his dominance throughout the initial six rounds. The situation escalated in the sixth round when, out of desperation, Danis attempted a guillotine, but it ended in failure, leading to a necessary intervention by security.

The promotional event’s title could not have been more fitting: Danis appeared entirely out of place, lacking any boxing acumen. Throughout the match, Logan Paul demonstrated complete dominance over Danis. Instead of displaying any intention to engage in boxing, Danis seemed fixated on executing takedowns and chokeholds. Paul was on the verge of securing a victory via unanimous decision, but Danis’s questionable actions ultimately led to his disqualification from the bout.
Later Paul added a statement in a post-fight interview. He added “He’s supposed to be good at jiu-jitsu. What happened? I stuffed his takedown. He tried to do a guillotine. I’m sorry I missed the hammer fists. That would have been good. I’m sorry it ended that way.” Paul said during his post-fight interview in Manchester Arena. “Dillon Danis is truly a coward and a dirty, dirty human being.”
