A netizen @peabody_77 poked fun at 'El Jefe,' and answered the aforementioned question:
"We don’t need another Kron Gracie, one is enough IMO."
Gracie last squared off against Bryce Mitchell at UFC 310 and lost the bout by a third-round knockout. With that loss, Ice Cream Kron now has a three-fight losing streak in the UFC. His performance was also severely criticized by many post-UFC 310.
Another Netizen @crypto_bitlord7 commented in favor of Danis and wrote:
"Get this man in the roster 🚀🚀🚀."
Meanwhile, @Staddeca chimed in and stated:
"Absolutely, and immediately throw him in the deep end."

Nina-Marie Daniele vouches for Dillon Danis
Dillion Danis, a jiu-jitsu black belt holder, is a controversial character renowned for his trash language outside the ring. However, he has some accomplishments to his name. In the past, the 31-year-old retired submission grappler and mixed martial artist has competed in Bellator MMA and Pan Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship.
'El Jefe' also had an impressive MMA debut, at Bellator 198 against Kyle Walker, which he won via a toe hold. Next, he went on to win against Max Humphreys at Bellator 222. His association with Conor McGregor gained him popularity among fight fans.
Meanwhile, UFC CEO Dana White had previously stated on the Full Send Podcast that Danis' prospects of joining the roster are slim due to his controversial past. Here is what White said:
“I have no beef with the kid at all, I’ve probably said two words to him in my whole life. But every time he’s around, s***’s going down. We can’t have that stuff going on here. A lot of people will see when guys get into it on stage or something starts to happen, they’re like ‘Oh, they must love this’ or whatever. No. No, we don’t love it.”
MMA interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele, however, vouched for Danis recently and wrote:
"Dillon Danis is actually very talented at jiujitsu not gonna lie. He’s also super cool in person and great to his fans. Hopefully, he gets to compete in the UFC one day. I think he would be entertaining to watch!"
