Bellator MMA cuts ties with Dillon Danis

Danis was recently seen in action against Logan Paul on October 14 in what was his boxing debut. While he ended up losing via disqualification, it was a rather lackluster performance from 'El Jefe' that has tarnished his reputation in the combat sports community.

Moreover, according to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani’s recent ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) post, Bellator has released Danis. Helwani wrote:

“Dillon Danis is a free agent. Bellator officially released Danis this weekend, sources say.”

It is worth noting that, as per reports, Danis had to pay a $100,000 penalty to Bellator MMA to fight Logan Paul. Bellator MMA has an active TV deal with Showtime. Misfits Boxing and DAZN are the direct competitors of Showtime and it caused the penalty clause to kick in.

Danis is 2-0 as a professional MMA fighter and both his wins under the Bellator banner have come by way of submission. 'El Jefe' last competed against Max Humphrey on Bellator 222 in June 2019. Following his release from Bellator MMA, he has shown interest in fighting for the UFC in recent times, but the chances of the organization accepting him look slim at the moment.
