Dillon Danis is 2-0 as a combined martial arts (MMA) fighter, each below the Bellator banner, however the truth stays, he hasn’t competed in a worthwhile fight occasion in almost 5 years. And but, Danis nonetheless in some way manages to make headlines. When he’s not giving Henry Cejudo a run for his cash because the king of cringe, or getting his chin rocked in street fights, he’s dodging lawsuits from his opponents. It looks as if all the things was working in opposition to this battle truly taking place, nevertheless it seems to be like we’re going to see him face Logan Paul in any case. After all I received’t be holding my breath, and can reserve my “pleasure” for this matchup till after they’re each contained in the ring. All that stated, Danis wants win as a result of, nicely, he simply does. He hasn’t been lively, all he does is run his mouth and apart from getting choked out by a bouncer, he hasn’t confirmed he can compete on the highest degree in fairly a while. And if he needs to maintain getting headlines — for the right reasons — a victory would do him some good.

And no, going the distance with Floyd Mayweather in an terrible exhibition battle doesn’t depend. He misplaced to KSI in his first and solely battle, and that was 4 years in the past. All of that stated, Danis hasn’t proven he can throw a good punch to avoid wasting his life. Paul ought to be capable of deal with the jiu-jitsu ace handily, so long as he needs to and doesn’t idiot round in an effort to placed on a present.

Out of all these social media influencers — apart from Jake Paul — Salt Papi has proven to have fairly respectable expertise along with his arms. He has a 2-1 report along with his lone loss coming by the hands of former MMA fighter, Anthony Taylor, through unanimous choice. He’ll face Slim Albaher, who’s undefeated at 6-0. Talking of Taylor, he can even be competing at this occasion in opposition to King Kenny, who holds a 4-2 report with three stoppage wins. Taylor is the significantly better total boxer and fighter, so it’s a battle he should not have any issues getting a win in.

In additional motion, Deen The Nice battles Walid Sharks in a Light-weight title battle. The 2 initially fought over a 12 months in the past, with Deen The Nice defeating Sharks through technical knockout (TKO) in Nov. 2022, so revenge is the sport right here for Sharks.
