Dillon Danis Says UFC Talks Are Alive as He Returns to MMA on Misfits Undercard

He says Dana White has not shut the door on a UFC deal, though any move remains unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Danis is slated to face Warren Spencer on Saturday in Manchester at Misfits Boxing 22, marking his first MMA bout since 2019.
  • He reports conversations with UFC executive Hunter Campbell, who he says urged him to stay active and collect a couple of wins before any potential signing.
  • Danis claims Dana White labeled him a liability in the past, and he says he is trying to show composure this week to ease concerns.
  • He hopes to appear alongside teammate Conor McGregor on the UFC’s teased July 4 White House lawn event, a goal not confirmed by the promotion.
  • He floated possible matchups ranging from a Misfits title defense against Tony Ferguson to UFC names like Kevin Holland, Daniel Rodriguez, or even champion Islam Makhachev, none of which are booked.
