Dillon Danis (born August 22, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist. He currently competes in Misfits as part of their MMA division, where he is the current Misfits MMA Light Heavyweight (175lbs) Champion. Danis is also signed to the Cruiserweight division of Real American Freestyle (RAF). Trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Danis previously competed in the Pan Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship. He then transitioned to MMA as a Welterweight, debuting at Bellator 198 against Kyle Walker and winning via a toe hold in the first round. Danis then faced Max Humphreys at Bellator 222 and won via armbar in the first round. He was involved in a melee at UFC 229 after Khabib Nurmagomedov proceeded to throw his mouthpiece and then scaled the cage and appeared to jump towards him. He was subsequently fined $7,500 and suspended for 7 months following the incident. Throughout his career, Danis has become the subject of many controversies due to his behaviour. In boxing, he was scheduled to face British YouTuber KSI at MF & DAZN: X Series 004, but withdrew due to lack of preparation and coaching. In his debut professional boxing match, he was defeated by American YouTuber Logan Paul via disqualification.
