An Overview of the Article Narrated by Matthew McConaughey
Unemployed and Seeking Rematch
Just eight days after his highly anticipated match against Logan Paul, MMA fighter Dillon Danis finds himself without a contract. The 30-year-old grappler's Bellator contract expired shortly after his loss to the YouTuber-turned-WWE star.
An Explosive Loss
In the fight, Danis struggled to land punches on Paul and was ultimately disqualified after a takedown attempt in the sixth and final round led to a mass brawl. He managed to land only nine punches throughout the match.
A Hefty Payday
Despite the loss, Danis still walked away with a significant sum of money. He claimed on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he earned at least £820,000 ($1 million) from the Misfits Boxing spectacle.
Long-Term Friend of Conor McGregor
Danis has a close relationship with UFC superstar Conor McGregor and was previously under contract with Bellator. However, the promotion confirmed last night that they have released him from his contract.
A Limited MMA Career
During his time with Bellator, Danis only fought twice, winning both bouts via submission. His last fight took place in 2019, and a series of injuries have prevented his return to the MMA cage.
Appealing the Defeat
Despite the loss, Danis is appealing the decision and has hinted at the possibility of a rematch with Paul in the octagon. He claims that Paul has already agreed to the fight and expressed his eagerness to compete in MMA.
Eyeing a Future in the UFC
Following his release from Bellator, Danis took to social media to share the news and tagged UFC president Dana White in a tweet, suggesting that he is looking to join the UFC and make a lot of money in the process.
It remains to be seen what's next for Dillon Danis, but one thing's for sure - he's not giving up without a fight.
