Dillon Danis is an American combat sports athlete known for his background in submission grappling and mixed martial arts. A former Bellator MMA competitor and current MF MMA Light Heavyweight Champion, he gained initial recognition through his association with Conor McGregor's training camp and his success in Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments.
Danis has maintained public attention through his transition to professional boxing and frequent social media presence, often involving himself in high-profile feuds with other fighters and influencers. His combat sports career has been marked by both athletic achievements and controversial incidents outside competition.
Recently, Danis has been in news headlines following a significant disciplinary action by UFC President Dana White. Multiple sports media outlets reported in November 2025 that Danis received a ban from UFC events after involvement in a physical altercation at Madison Square Garden. Additionally, upcoming fights and training developments involving other combat sports figures have kept him in the sports news cycle throughout late 2025.
His continued presence in combat sports discussions reflects both his athletic background and his tendency to generate controversy, maintaining his status as a polarizing figure in mixed martial arts and boxing circles.
