Dilo Danis On the Verge Of Being Signed To UFC?

[Kevin Sorbo]

He wouldn't be able to fight dudes with losing records in the UFC so fuck it why not? He's got the grappling credentials and he's been training MMA for a few years. Sink or swim (most likely sink)

Yeah, there are no easy matchups in the UFC. Well, now that Artem Lobov is gone.

 

[Danis_champ]

I'm ready. Lets do this.

Danis is a welterweight. Why would they have lightweight Paddy fight him?

It's about the only fight that makes sense, and most likely Paddy TKOs him anyway.

 

[bongwater]

danis is the only fighter worth signing in bellator!

 

[xhaydenx]

What difference would it make who signs Dillon Danis, a man who never fights?

He could sign for Bellator, PFL, UFC, ACA, or he could even sign for Pride FC, he's still not gonna fight.

He fought like twice in bellator already, bro.

And even if he doesn't, the guy knows how to generate interest better than anyone on the roster.

Do you even remember his fights in Bellator?

I know I don't.

I'm not sure he did anything to generate interest in them.

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Isn’t Logan signed to ufc as well? Not
To compete but in like a partnership?

 

[jeff7b9]

Gonna have to run the CM Punk playbook and bring in amateurs for this chump

2-0 MMA 0-1 boxing

Even the absolute bottom of the barrel UFC guys are so much more experienced it should be debatable to even sanction a fight with this dork.

 

[dalegordon]

? Who

Ryan hall

Even the most hard-core MMA fan could not name his opponents without looking them up.

Ariel Helwani could not remember and he interviewed Danis before those fights and would have had conversations about those guys.

Ryan hall

Hall is going to come out of retirement and come up from 145 to 170 or 185 ?

 

[Filter909]

Feed him to Mike Jackson

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Give him Magney then a WW TS with a win

His BJJ credentials are solid, albeit sometimes overrated in a modern context. He doesn't have any high-level wins on the submission grappling circuit since 2017 when he beat Agazarm twice. Since then Dillon has lost every match he's had save one against Yukiyasu Ozawa at the 2017 ADCC Absolutes... and Ozawa isn't really an opponent worth writing home about (MMA fighter who went 2-2-2 on the Japanese regional scene back in 2001-2004, managed to earn a spot at ADCC by doing good at the Asian Trials, but is 0-4 on the international submission grappling scene with all losses via submission). I think most guys who are relevant on the modern BJJ scene in his weight class -- much less the Absolutes -- would school him.

In MMA Dillon is 2-0... and neither of his opponents were anything to write home about:

• Max Humphrey went 6-6 as an amateur and was 3-2 as a pro when Dillon fought him. He had already been submitted multiple times in his career prior and had fought... let's say a "mixed" level of competition.
  
• Kyle Walker was 0-1 as an amateur and 2-4 as a pro when Dillon fought him. He, too, had been submitted multiple times in MMA competition prior to fighting Danis.

I genuinely didn't think Dana would even consider signing Dillon, especially after the clusterfuck that the boxing match turned into... but since the UFC seems more interested in the circus/spectacle these days nothing would surprise me at this point. If they do bring him on and he cuts all the way to 170 (rather than those 175 Catchweights that he did in Bellator), I'm sorely tempted to say that a good match-up for him to test his level would be someone like Brahimaj, Blood Diamond, Lainesse, Gorimbo, or Radtke... but unless the UFC wants to pad his resume with winnable fights I'm sure they'd give him someone with a bigger name. I could see them giving him Buckley because of the possibility for pre-fight antics between the two of them. Likewise, Danis probably knows Phil Rowe and Gunni from the BJJ scene (at least by reputation) and those could be fun stylistic match-ups on that front, especially since Rowe doesn't mind using animosity to build fights. But I digress.

Feed him to Mike Jackson

He got cut.

He fought Pat Militech last weekend in a regional show I had never heard of.
Militech who is in his mid-late 50s was dominating thru 2 rounds but gassed because he is literally probably a grandfather now.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Kinda surprise they would even consider him given his weak record in MMA and the whole Logan Paul situation. I figured the UFC wouldn't want to touch him. Maybe his pal Connor McGregor pulled a few strings

 

[xhaydenx]

Do you even remember his fights in Bellator?

I know I don't.

I'm not sure he did anything to generate interest in them.

He did a bit, but yeh, everything with Logan has popped him right up. He wouldn't be starting from scratch i the UFC or wherever he goes, he'd be bringing that interest he's already amassed along with him.

And then probably never fight haha.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

Connor Mcgregor fight sells itself

Artem the goat can be his manager.
