Dillon Danis claims ex-UFC star Nate Diaz turned down MMA fight with him: ‘Everyone is scared’

Polarizing mixed martial arts fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappler, Dillon Danis has claimed a host of professional fighters — including former UFC star, Nate Diaz have rejected the chance to fight him in the cage in his return to combat sports — claiming “everyone is scared” of him.

Danis, who most recently competed in a professional boxing match against social media influencer and professional wrestler, Logan Paul, suffered a disqualification loss to the Ohio native in their heated grudge match in Manchester last October.
