Dillon Danis, the New York-based MMA fighter, is a black belt in Jujitsu. He is also a close companion of ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor. We also know him to be a hothead. Perhaps that is why he has had many altercations in public. One might argue that his temperament is the same as McGregor’s. Recently, Danis was involved in a public altercation with KSI and Anthony Taylor.
Back in UFC 229, Khabib Nurmagomedov, after his victory over Conor McGregor, jumped over the octagon to beat Dillon Danis in the crowd. Dillon Danis is a member of Conor’s team and a close ally. He posted a photo of Khabib with ‘Proper 12’ which insulted him. Because of this, ‘The Eagle’ soared over the cage and jumped on Conor’s team, and started swinging.

Dillon Danis gets physical with KSI and Anthony Taylor
Dillon Danis, KSI, and Anthony Taylor recently got together at the weigh-ins of the Misfits boxing event, which will take place on 19th Nov 2022. ‘El Jefe’ got involved in a verbal dispute with KSI, where KSI called him a ‘Pu**y’. This agitated Danis, who first smacked the cap out of KSI’s head and then went to throw coffee on his face. Making the British boxer very angry. The two had to be separated and taken away.
After calming down, Dillon and his team were walking away towards the parking. This is when former Bellator fighter Anthony Taylor came out with the heat. He was clearly trying to pick a fight with Dillon and got what he wanted.
Further verbal exchanges created a spark for the fight and, in no time, a brawl took place between both teams in the parking lot. Anthony was present with two of his friends. The boxer connected an electrifying right hand to the Jujitsu master, which made him wobble. Both had to be separated shortly afterward and went their own way.
