Midnight Mania! Dillon Danis faces six-figure pullout penalty if he fails to face Logan Paul

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Dillon Danis needs to be among the many most universally disrespected males in fight sports activities.

Plain and easy, the man’s a troll. A aggressive jiu-jitsu participant who rose to fame as Conor McGregor’s coach and sparring partner, Danis transitioned to MMA within the Bellator cage and perhaps might’ve completed one thing. As an alternative, he submitted a pair of journeyman on undercards and disappeared from the scene … besides on social media.

Danis is relentless on-line. He inserts himself into each dialog attainable in an obnoxious method. The price of his modicum of web fame has been the respect of the fight sports activities sphere. His authentic coach, the nice and unanimously revered Marcelo Garcia, disowned him for his conduct. Scott Coker has given up on promoting him. Even “movie star” boxer KSI trashed his professionalism after pulling out of their deliberate match up on the final second as a consequence of an absence of preparation, which is an all-time dangerous motive to withdraw from a combat.

Now, for some motive, Dillon has a boxing match booked versus Logan Paul for Misfits Boxing pay-per-view (PPV) card on DAZN, scheduled for Sat., Oct. 14, 2023 at AO Enviornment in Manchester, England. Paul is a business partner of KSI, and he appears to have discovered from his expertise with Danis.

Paul revealed on the Impaulsive podcast that he has a again up plan for Danis’ bag-fumbling habits. If Danis withdraws and can’t show his damage, Paul claims that he’ll be owed a major sum.

“That’s my concern, I’m satisfied he’s not going to point out up. The clause is that this: if he pulls out due to some form of damage that he fakes, a physician of our selecting has to confirm the damage. If he certainly faking it, he has to pay $100,000. There’s a pullout clause,” Paul stated (by way of Cole Shelton).

One has to marvel simply how enforceable this clause can be in court docket, nevertheless it’s a good suggestion however given Danis’ historical past. As for why Danis within the first place? Paul needs to be the person who beats up the man no one likes!

Paul later continued, “He’s broke, the man sucks, he’s the parasite of MMA and the fight world. That’s the reason I took the combat initially as a result of if he does present up, I get to be the one, I get to be the one to take an eraser and take away him existence. His title won’t ever be uttered once more.”

Insomnia

I like this picture. Additionally, from expertise, it’s actually laborious to sink in a guillotine choke with massive gloves on, nevertheless it’s additionally not possible to combat palms as soon as wrapped!

Permit this thread to function a reminder that MMA posters don’t must be generic and horrible.

BELLY TO BELLY!

No person is arguing that Cory Sandhagen vs. Rob Font was enjoyable to look at, nevertheless it’s nonetheless spectacular that Sandhagen dominated a Prime 10 contender with one arm. The onus was on Font to flee!

Don’t disrespect “The Black Beast” Derrick Lewis.

Justin Gaethje simply is aware of how you can get torque into each punch. Even when his physique often flails far and wide, the punches are thudding.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

I can solely assume that is the results of a Pickleball vs. Tennis debate.

For those who didn’t see the silliest combat of 2023 — Reug Reug vs. Marcus Buchecha Almeida — repair that ASAP!

A superbly timed, sneaky counter shot:

Random Land

Each time I believe I’ve run out of silly fight sport niches to submit on this column, the web offers.

Midnight Music: I listened to the preferred new album within the nation, Travis Scott’s Utopia. The beats and product have been very good per standard, however actually, I don’t assume there’s a rapper with much less to say than Scott. The person genuinely has nothing to speak about past generic bravado.
