Overview
- Fresh off a 15-second guillotine win over Warren Spencer at Misfits Boxing 22, Danis holds that promotion’s light heavyweight title and a 3-0 MMA record.
- He says UFC leaders, including Dana White and Hunter Campbell, declined a proposed stint on The Ultimate Fighter over concerns he would instigate trouble.
- He alleges Islam Makhachev punched him multiple times during the UFC 229 brawl and is calling for a ‘revenge’ matchup.
- He claims DAZN-backed appearances have paid him seven figures and more than Demetrious Johnson earned across UFC title fights.
- Demetrious Johnson floated a $50,000 bet backing Khamzat Chimaev in a hypothetical bout with Danis, and there has been no public UFC move to bring Danis onto the roster.
