"Bro you're "boxing" KSI" - Fans mock Dillon Danis following his 'trash' take about Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena

MMA fans recently voiced their opinions after witnessing Dillon Danis' take on the upcoming UFC 315 main event between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. Danis resorted to his brash nature to address Muhammad's upcoming encounter.

Muhammad claimed the UFC welterweight gold with a unanimous decision victory over Leon Edwards at UFC 304. His first title defense encounter was scheduled for UFC 310 against Shavkat Rakhmonov. However, Muhammad was diagnosed with a bone infection in his left foot, causing him to pull out of the encounter.

Muhammad also had an in-octagon face-off with Rakhmonov after the latter's victory at UFC 310 against Ian Machado Garry. The incident indicated that the Palestinian-American would face 'Nomad' for his first title defense despite their encounter being canceled. However, Rakhmonov recently revealed that he can't compete until the latter part of this year due to an injury.

As a result, the UFC brass decided to award Della Maddalena with a shot at Muhammad's welterweight gold at UFC 315.

ESPN MMA publicized this announcement with an Instagram update, which garnered a reaction from Danis.

'El Jefe' didn't shy away from expressing his opinion about the UFC 315 main event nonchalantly. He penned:

"This is such a 🗑️ [trash/garbage] fight."

"not like your life"

"Jack della would sleep you grub"

"You say that every time , do something"

Belal Muhammad came clean on his desire to fight at middleweight

The current UFC lightweight king, Islam Makhachev, has been talking about bagging his second belt for quite some time now. Several MMA pundits have also opined that Makhachev has the potential to grab the welterweight title with a victory over Belal Muhammad.

However, in a recent interview with Barstool Chicago, Muhammad mentioned that he would "never" fight Makhachev after shedding blood and sweat together with the Dagestani during their training sessions. Instead, the current welterweight champ counted moving up to middleweight would be a much more viable option.

"I would rather go up to 185 and just let him take 170 if that's the case. Since I've already had to fight my way up to 170 and I've beaten five top-ten guys, I'm two fights away from being able to challenge at 185 and saying, yeah, I want to be double champ."
