Hype FC Offers Danis–Zaynukov Grappling Match in Armenia, Touts 'Record' Payout

The proposal remains unconfirmed with the payday claim not independently verified.

Overview

  • Hype Fighting Championship posted that it wants Dillon Danis and Magomed “Chanko” Zaynukov to settle their feud in a neutral‑site grappling bout in Armenia and promised “record amounts of money for grappling.”
  • Neither athlete has publicly accepted, and there is no official bout announcement, timetable, broadcast plan, or ticket information.
  • The offer stems from a UFC 322 melee at Madison Square Garden that resulted in Dana White banning Danis from attending future UFC events.
  • Zaynukov is an undefeated 28‑year‑old (6–0) who earned a UFC contract via Dana White’s Contender Series and trains with Islam Makhachev and Usman Nurmagomedov.
  • Danis was recently pulled from a Misfits event in Dubai for failing medical clearance, as Hype FC expands its submission‑only cards in Yerevan, including a recent Tsarukyan vs. Shara Magomedov draw.
