The remarks follow Dana White’s ban of Dillon Danis from attending UFC events.

Overview

  • In a new interview with Complex, Umar Nurmagomedov said Dillon Danis deserved worse in the UFC 322 melee, stating he should have been left with broken limbs and hospitalized.
  • Nurmagomedov said he sat in the front row at Madison Square Garden and argued retaliation was predictable because, in his view, Danis talks about religion and families.
