Dillon Danis has never fought in the UFC, but he just got into his second fight at a UFC event.
The Misfits MMA champion got into a huge brawl just before the UFC 322 main card kicked off and it appeared he was throwing down with members of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev’s team. Ex-UFC fighter Abubakar Nurmagomedov was among those involved in the brawl with security dragging him away before UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell was trying to calm down the ugly situation.
There were several more people involved in the melee, but Danis and Nurmagomedov were the only ones identified immediately from the videos available from the arena.
Of course, Danis is no stranger to these situations after Khabib Nurmagomedov leapt over the cage and went after the former grappling champion following a submission win over Conor McGregor back in 2018. That situation boiled over after a nasty war of words between the camps with Danis serving as one of McGregor’s primary training partners and grappling coach leading into the fight.
It appears the bad blood was far from settled with Danis ending up in another brawl with members of the Nurmagomedov camp on Saturday in New York City.
