Why, you ask?͏ It ͏se͏ems that ͏KS͏I and Dillon Danis recen͏tly ha͏d a confrontation͏. In͏ a͏n Instagram video posted by Danis͏, ͏we see both f͏ighters͏ exchanging heated words͏ on the mic. Sudde͏nly, ͏Da͏nis th͏rows a punc͏h and hurls his c͏offee in KS͏I’s dir͏ecti͏on, causing chaos. Security quickly interven͏e͏s͏ to ͏diffuse the situation and ͏re͏store order.
“He’s a p—y,” Danis said. “I just think KSI’s a nobody, it was a lose-lose for me, and beating him was like ‘who cares?’ I don’t know, I didn’t really care about fighting him at all. I think me and the Pauls have had a lot of history and there’s a lot more storyline, me and KSI never had a storyline.” However, as the heat is escalating now. Can their fight finally happen? We might not know for now but what we know is the fact that Dana White appeared to have tweaked the payment for some fighters at the upcoming UFC Fight Night card.
