Finally, we will sum up our daily news compilation with Dillon Danis, who denied that it was him when he was approached by a process server regarding the lawsuit filed by Logan Paul‘s fiancee, Nina Agdal.

Ovince Saint Preux suspended after drug test failure

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ former rival Ovince Saint Preux got suspended by USADA after testing positive for using a banned substance. The failed drug test revealed that the 26-17 fighter was using a metabolite of either androstenedione or testosterone. However, this was not the first time that he’s been caught for using banned substances.

Saint Preux has now violated the anti-doping policy of the UFC for the second time in his career. The doping agency collected his urine samples twice – on June 17 and July 11. Both of those tests constitute a single violation. However, Ovince Saint Preux is eligible to make his return to the Octagon in December this year. As USADA carried on with their investigation, Saint Preux submitted a container of a supplement he had been consuming for analysis.

Valentina Shevchenko goes off on UFC judge Mike Bell

‘Bullet’ put up a tremendous performance at Noche UFC in the rematch against Alexa Grasso. However, the match ended in a split decision draw, which many people thought Valentina Shevchenko had clearly won. Moreover, one of the judges, Mike Bell, scored the final round 10-8, which sparked a lot of controversy among fans and other MMA personalities. Recently, Shevchenko opened up about the fight and even took aim at Mike Bell for his scorecard.

Shevchenko mentioned that the scorecard of the 5th round was unfair. She was very vocal about it. She said, “Yes, definitely, the scorecard in the final round… 10-8 [was unfair].” ‘Bullet’ mentioned that Mike Bell needs to offer an explanation not just to her, but to the entire MMA community regarding his decision for the way he scored the fight. “I think that the whole world would love to hear his explanation… It’s not me, it’s him. He’s going to live with that mistake forever,” said Valentina Shevchenko. We will have to wait and see what step the UFC takes in the days to come.

Dillon Danis denied his identity to a process server

Logan Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, recently filed a lawsuit against Dillon Danis after he constantly trolled her last month on Twitter (X). Moreover, he was served finally after the jiu-jitsu specialist tried to avoid the process server for more than a week. The process server recently visited Danis at his New Jersey residence to confront him regarding the lawsuit.

Conor McGregor‘s teammate was there with a couple of his friends when the server attempted to hand him an envelope filled with documents pertaining to the lawsuit. However, Dillon Danis refused to take it, claiming that it was not him. He walked towards his residential building and, as a result, the process server left the envelope outside the building. We will have to wait and see how this saga unfolds in the days to come.
