Fuming Fans Put the Heat on Paddy Pimblett After Dillon Danis Throws an Unexpected Callout of UFC Star

Dillon Danis, a star in the making or a man who planned his own downfall? Whatever one may deem him, Danis surely knows how to grab the attention of the world. The MMA fighter recently made the headlines after making his desire to join the UFC very clear and fans had a ton of things to say.

Now, fans are wondering, who could be his first fight in the UFC world? Lucky for them, perhaps Danis has already decided who he’d like to fight first once he steps inside the Octagon again. He recently took to X to call out an unexpected star and now fans can’t stop talking about it.

Fans react to Dillon Danis’ callout

Danis recently took to X to call out none other than Paddy Pimblett. Paddy ‘The Baddy’ is currently all set to fight the veteran Tony Ferguson. But after his fight against him, could he go up to Dillon Danis next? Here’s how fans reacted to the idea of them facing each other, on Instagram.

Some were most definitely not siding with Danis on this!

“Danis mops the floor with that bowl haircut kid”

“No one wants to see Dillon throw 10 punches ever again”

While others were of the opinion that he could definitely win.

“Dani’s def could win this seen lots of his JJ matches and he’s great def can see him winning against paddy as long as he works on his striking”

“i mean if we being honest danis could win”

“use me for the dillon submits him in the first button”

“Dillon would KO paddy in 1 round.”

And there were again some not even interested in the fight!

“No one wants to see @dillondanis fight…”

Clearly, a lot of fans still have a firm belief in the martial artist that is Danis. He’s proven to everyone that boxing is not quite his forte, however, when it’s submission holds and other moves it’s a different game altogether.

On the other hand, Paddy Pimblett’s career has been filled with victories over the last two years. Now, he faces Ferguson, a former phenom who is slowly falling from grace in his career.

Danis’ callout and match against Ferguson

Pimblett has some things on his plate with his match set against Tony Ferguson. It will go down at UFC 296 on December 17. Ferguson has had a streak of losses and his great name has slowly deteriorated in the latter part of his career. Perhaps it’s a big challenge for both the fighters. On the other hand, Danis’ callout has also opened up doors.

The fighter suggested that they could train on TUF and then have their fight at the very end. An interesting proposal but will this ever go through? Perhaps once the Ferguson match is done with, Pimblett can find time to respond to Danis and eventually sign a contract. Would you like to see this fight?
