After a lackluster performance in the main event of the Misfits Boxing: Prime Card, Dillon Danis has sparked significant chatter with his vocal post-fight presence. In a move that has drawn considerable attention from the MMA community, Danis posted a cryptic message on social media that simply read, “UFC next,” leaving fans to speculate about his future plans.
Danis, who resorted to an illegal choke attempt in the final round, effectively leading to his own disqualification, has not shied away from the limelight following the match. This latest event marked his first appearance in any combat sports competition since 2019, when he last competed for Bellator, boasting a flawless record of 2-0 after securing quick first-round submissions in the MMA promotion.
Despite his lackluster performance during the six-round bout against Logan Paul, where he failed to exhibit any significant display of skill, Danis remained vocal about his own efforts, drawing attention to his performance and taking a direct jab at former UFC star Nate Diaz. Notably, Diaz had recently engaged in a boxing match with Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, resulting in a victory for Paul via a unanimous decision in August. Notwithstanding Danis’s less-than-impressive performance, he appears intent on making a statement and positioning himself for potential future endeavors, hinting at a potential move to the UFC, a proclamation that has stirred a mixture of curiosity and skepticism among the MMA community.

A Jiu Jitsu guy with no boxing camp or coach made his debut, never wobbled, never dropped, had no standing 8 count, and rocked you multiple times. If I were Nina, I'd call off the wedding. You achieved nothing in your own sport, MMA next. https://t.co/a4a1w90WBc
