Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu superstar turned Bellator fighter Dillon Danis was one of the big names out of the Marcelo Garcia Academy in New York City. But last April, he along with fellow grappling standout Mansher Khera were “indefinitely suspended” from the academy.
Garcia did not specify his reasons for his decision other than the two aforementioned were “not being the example that he wants them to be,” but it could easily be about how Danis, in particular, has conducted himself off the mats.
In June, the 23-year-old Danis began training with the Miyao brothers at Unity BJJ, another famed academy in New York City.
