The altercation at the New Jersey bar reportedly began when the establishment discovered individuals attempting to enter with fake IDs. As a result, the bar staff implemented strict ID checks for all. Dillon Danis, who did not possess identification at the time, found himself caught up in the ensuing altercation with the security guards. According to witnesses, he was eventually subdued and restrained.

The incident ultimately prompted police intervention, with law enforcement officers stepping in to arrest the fighter.

Dillon Danis blames Bellator CEO for years of inactivity inside the cage; addresses potential UFC move

Despite his previous appearances in and around the UFC, Dillon Danis is currently under contract with rival promotion Bellator. The New Jersey native has competed only twice inside the Bellator cage, securing impressive victories in both bouts through first-round submissions. However, his last fight and win date back to 2019, leaving fans wondering about his next move.

Danis' interest in joining the UFC was ignited when a concerned fan reached out to him on Twitter, urging him to pursue a contract with the organization.

In response, the 29-year-old fighter expressed his keenness and pointed to Bellator CEO Scott Coker as the reason behind his limited fight opportunities under their banner. In a tweet, Danis stated,

"If I were to sign with the UFC now, I could fight on the next available card. This is not my fault. I've asked @ScottCoker to be on every card from more than a year ago to any coming up."
