Dillon Danis: UFC just turned down the biggest views for TUF in years

Say what you will what about him, but he’s right. He would’ve brought in views maybe not as big as he thinks. People would have tuned in hoping he’d lose and the drama he would stir up.
I don't think he would turn up to fight, he's all talk.

In the last six years he's had one fight and it was a weird exhibition boxing match with Logan Paul that ended in dq.

Aw man, I forgot it wasn't even the relevant boxing Paul brother.

Worse yet, it wasn't exhibition. That was always going to go on their professional boxing record, and Danis still acted like a complete fool for it
 
Danis is a proven waste of time to deal with. I could see him starting shit with the fighters instead of being helpful, which is the opposite purpose of him being there.
 
Nahhh TAM doing zany bro stuff was peak TUF. Remember when they just started working out in that room? Oh man that was just hilarious. Those guys are so avant garde. Or when Cogar said Sat nights are the boyzzzz? Must see TV. I can’t believe they haven’t done any more of those.

Dillon Danis was wanting to do the ultimate fighter with DC and Chael and “ give them the most views they had in years” . Ariel also agreeing that would be like Kimbo-esque level of excitement.

Why UFC did not think this was a great idea is beyond me. I haven’t watched that show regularly since TUF 10, but I would damn sure tune into that. That show hasn’t had anyone interesting in so many years, and this could be a good way to refresh it to a new generation and make some stars again.

Say what you want about danis, but the guy is talented and can keep your attention. I don’t know, I would just like some damn excitement again

The Russian TUF is looking GOATish
 
Marcelo Garcia has the patience of a saint, and Dillon was asked to not come back to his gym.

Since then he went all in on the Conor career path, but without winning any championships before sliding down a mountain of nose candy into embarrassing obscurity.

Dillon is a walking example of why you should just shut up and train.
 
I don't think he can make 170 twice in 6 weeks
TUF WWs are way smaller
 
Danis is a tool but given the show is on life support now that DWCS exist, putting Danis on would have assisted with getting extra viewers.

Probably wanted extra money or the UFC worried he would just pull out and make the whole thing look bad. Maybe he clarified but I'm not watching the interview.
