Eddie Hall Pitches Dillon Danis MMA Bout, Vows 64-Pound Cut as Weight Standoff Stalls Deal

Danis says Hall must hit the 265-pound heavyweight limit, leaving the proposed Misfits matchup unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Hall says an agreement exists in principle and promises to drop about 64 pounds in 12 weeks to weigh roughly 300 pounds.
  • Danis counters that he will only consider the fight if Hall makes at least the MMA heavyweight limit of 265 pounds.
  • The pair faced off at Misfits 22 in Manchester after Danis scored a rapid submission win over Warren Spencer.
  • Hall states the bout would be under traditional MMA rules on the Misfits banner, though no contract has been finalized.
  • Hall debuted in MMA earlier this year at around 334 pounds and knocked out Mariusz Pudzianowski in under a round, but reporters note the proposed cut to 300 would still fall short of Danis’ requirement.
