Danis, a notable presence in Bellator, has been causing a stir on the internet with his scathing remarks about Logan and his fiancee, Nina Agdal. His openness to competing in the PFL ring hinges on the possibility of facing Jake.
This development has added fuel to the ongoing discussion about the impending bout. For a more comprehensive understanding of Danis' viewpoints, particularly in relation to Jake Paul, read on.
Dillon Danis vs Jake Paul
In the midst of an MMA discussion, prior to broaching the subject of Jake Paul, Dillon Danis made it clear that he leans heavily toward the UFC over the PFL. He asserted unequivocally that his consideration of the PFL would hinge solely on the prospect of a bout against Jake Paul. Further, Danis didn't mince words when he expressed his disdain for the PFL, referring to its fighters as 'losers'.
"I’m not going to the PFL, I’m going to the UFC,” Danis said on The MMA Hour. "The only way I’ll go to PFL is if they give me the Jake Paul fight. I don’t want to go to PFL, they’re all losers.”
He then highlighted his eagerness to compete against high-caliber opponents like Islam Makhachev in the UFC. Further, Danis emphasized his ambition to take on formidable opponents and make a mark in the sport as he acknowledges that he's advancing in age and wants to seize significant opportunities in his career.
Danis added, “Listen, I’m getting older in age. I want to go tap f****** Islam [Makhachev] I want to go beat these guys,It’s now or never, I just turned 30, I’m willing to go and f****** go out there and see if what I’m saying is [true]. If I go to the UFC give me the toughest fight, give me Ian Garry, give me anybody, give me Neil Magny. 170 pounds, anybody. Leon Edwards would be the easiest fight. I actually like Colby [Covington] but yeah Colby.”
