Most people may point to his association with Conor McGregor, but Dillon Danis has become one of the most vocal fighters in MMA today. His behavior over the recent years led to him being kicked out from the Marcelo Garcia Academy, and to a seven-month suspension for the UFC 229 post-fight brawl.
The 25-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace is now scheduled to face Max Humphrey for his second professional MMA fight at Bellator 222 this June. And as far as promoting the fight goes, he feels he is carrying a heavier load.
“I didn’t get to say it up there, but I feel like I’m doing a charity event in a way,” Danis said during Wednesday’s Bellator 222 media day (via MMA Junkie).
