UFC Bans Dillon Danis After UFC 322 Brawl as Dana White Takes Blame

White says failing to remove Danis after warnings was his mistake.

Overview

  • Danis brawled in the crowd with members of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team, including Abubakar Nurmagomedov, during the UFC 322 main event at Madison Square Garden.
  • Security and police intervened as Danis was detained and removed, and White said he is banned from attending future UFC events.
  • White said the UFC declined to press criminal charges and noted that Madison Square Garden or law enforcement could still act independently.
  • As of publication, online records showed no New York City jail booking for Danis, and the NYPD had not responded to requests for comment.
  • White said he had been warned about tensions, including a threat from Jorge Masvidal, but allowed Danis to remain because he had a ticket.
