Newly-minted GFL signing, Dillon Danis has revealed he was initially planned to feature on The Ultimate Fighter before a potential move to the UFC, before the promotion’s Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell shut down the idea of the New Jersey native competing.
Danis, a former Bellator MMA welterweight prospect, is set to make his return to action in mixed martial arts in May, taking on former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson in the pair’s first respective outings with the Global Fight League.
Sidelined from combat sports since a 2023 professional boxing match with Logan Paul, Danis is set to feature at the end of this month in his sophomore trip to the ring, taking on the Ohio native’s business partner, controversial YouTuber and musician, KSI.
