"That was a hard shot" - New camera angle showing Logan Paul clearly cut by microphone thrown by Dillon Danis has former UFC star shook

Logan Paul sustained a gash on his face after Dillon Danis struck him during their violent face-off.

During the Misfits Boxing pre-fight press conference on Thursday, Paul and Danis were on stage, discussing their upcoming match when a chaotic altercation erupted. The two initially engaged in a heated verbal exchange before their disagreement escalated to a physical confrontation. 'The Maverick' unexpectedly tossed what appeared to be a water bottle at Danis, prompting the 30-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappler to retaliate by striking Paul squarely on the forehead with his microphone.

The 28-year-old YouTuber was swiftly escorted off the stage, cradling his head in his hands, while 'El Jefe' wasted no time in taking to social media to post a picture of blood on the floor after the incident.

A fresh video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), captured from a different camera angle, revealing the extent of the cut on Logan Paul's face. The footage left former UFC welterweight fighter Ben Askren shocked, as 'Funky' recognized the potency of Dillon Danis' strike:

"Wow crazy angle, Logan buckles when the mic hits him. That was a hard shot."

Check out Askren's post below:

Paul and Danis are scheduled to face off in a six-round exhibition boxing bout on Saturday night (October 14) at the AO Arena in Manchester as part of the Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card event. The main event of this highly publicized card is a showdown between KSI and Tommy Fury.
