Dillon Danis is not never far away from controversy. Now and again he comes alive on social media and goes after people and other fighters. The undefeated mixed martial artist recently got in a back-and-forth with journalist Ariel Helwani and regularly calls people out on Twitter.
Danis hasn’t competed since 2019 and has been out of action. He recently underwent surgeries on his knees and is looking to make a comeback soon. However, despite being out of action, he called out one of the top UFC lightweights, Islam Makhachev. He posted a video of the UFC 229 infamous after-fight brawl. The video shows Makhachev being stopped by security.
Along with the video, he wrote, “f**k you @MAKHACHEVMMA you absolutely s**k.”

The post-fight brawl ensued when Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped into the crowd and got in a tussle with Danis. He was in the corner of Conor McGregor and didn’t back down at that time.
This kind of post is not new, and fans expect it. However, this time around, the MMA community really went after him.
