Dillon Danis is criticizing Logan Paul for running away during their recent boxing match and is calling for a rematch under mixed martial arts rules, claiming that he would easily defeat Paul in a real fight and expressing his desire to join the UFC.
Dillon Danis, following his recent loss to Logan Paul, has come out strongly against his opponent in his first public interview since the fight. Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Danis criticized Paul for constantly evading engagement during the bout, claiming that he was running away and was scared. He also mentioned that even Conor McGregor had acknowledged Paul’s avoidance tactics. Danis expressed his disappointment with the fight, stating that he wanted a real fight and to engage with Paul, but felt that Paul was not up for the challenge.
During the fight, Danis suffered a disqualification loss after a lackluster performance that saw him being outworked and outstruck for five rounds. In the sixth round, he caused an in-ring melee with a failed takedown attempt and a failed guillotine choke attempt, leading to the disqualification. However, Danis clarified that the failed takedown attempt was meant to demonstrate a “real fight” and denied that he was actively working for a guillotine choke.
Danis repeatedly emphasized that boxing is only “half of a fight” and expressed his desire for a rematch with Paul, but under mixed martial arts (MMA) rules. He claimed that if they were to engage in a street fight, it wouldn’t be with gloves and boxing rules, but rather an all-out fight where he believes he would easily defeat Paul. Danis further provoked Paul by criticizing his failure to defend his fiancee, Nina Agdal, during the pre-fight promotion, and challenged Paul to a fight where he claimed he would “strangle him unconscious within 30 seconds.”
Despite the controversies surrounding his trash talk towards Agdal, Danis stated that his tactics brought significant attention to the fight and revealed that he earned over $1 million from the bout. He also expressed his desire to transition to the UFC, calling out UFC CEO Dana White and expressing his confidence in his ability to sell fights. Danis stated that he is ready to fight anyone and intends to prove himself in the octagon.
In conclusion, Dillon Danis has criticized Logan Paul for his evasive tactics and lackluster performance during their recent fight. He expressed his desire for a rematch under MMA rules and confidently proclaimed his ability to defeat Paul. Furthermore, Danis revealed his intentions to join the UFC and show his potential in selling fights.
