Logan Paul believes he could beat Dillon Danis in an MMA fight, but he refuses to give him a rematch after their controversial boxing match due to Danis’ disrespectful behavior and lackluster performance.
Logan Paul recently spoke about his thought on a potential rematch with Dillon Danis in MMA, following their heavily criticized boxing match at Misfits PRIME. During his Impaulsive video podcast, Paul expressed his belief that he would defeat Danis in an MMA fight, but made it clear that he has no intentions of giving him the opportunity for a rematch in the cage.
Paul cited Danis’ behavior during the lead-up to their bout as the reason behind his decision. Danis had launched a series of insults, innuendos, and even shared inappropriate photos of Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal. Paul viewed these actions as unacceptable, particularly after Agdal claimed that one of the photos was illegally obtained and violated revenge porn laws.
However, Paul admitted that he was not blameless either. He confessed to succumbing to his darker instincts when he threw a PRIME bottle at Danis during the chaotic press conference, which resulted in injuries when Danis retaliated by throwing a microphone at him. Reflecting on this incident, Paul expressed his remorse and acknowledged that he almost ruined the chances of their eventual fight taking place.
Prior to their bout, Paul and Danis agreed on a handshake agreement during a face-to-face interview, stating that Paul would grant Danis an MMA rematch if he emerged victorious and paid his entire purse. Paul firmly believed that he would come out on top in an MMA fight against Danis, pointing to his successful evasion of a takedown and guillotine attempt during their boxing match.
Nevertheless, Paul expressed doubt about Danis’ willingness to fulfill their agreement, rendering the possibility of an MMA fight irrelevant. Emphasizing the importance of respect and integrity in the sport, Paul questioned whether Danis would back up his words and honor his commitments after months of trash-talking and attempted character assassination.
In conclusion, Logan Paul conveyed his belief in his own abilities to triumph over Dillon Danis in an MMA fight, but emphasized his refusal to offer him a rematch in the cage. He cited Danis’ inappropriate actions throughout the buildup to their boxing match, along with his own regrettable behavior, as the key factors behind his decision. Furthermore, Paul expressed skepticism regarding Danis’ willingness to fulfill their handshake agreement, essentially nullifying any possibility of a future MMA showdown between the two.
