In one of the most controversial fights in recent memory, Dillon Danis and Logan Paul are set to go one-on-one on October 14. While this bout is expected to be an exciting one, the build-up to it has been exceptional. Even though the WWE star had his moments, it’s Danis who remained on top in the social media war.
From taking personal shots at The Maverick to attacking Nina Agdal’s past, the MMA star has gone too far. But it seems that he’s also preparing well for the actual fight on Saturday. The reason behind this is the the recent video he posted to show his pro wrestling moves.

In a now-deleted video that was posted by Dillon on his X handle, the 30-year-old was showing his skills at Misfits Boxing’s open workout. El Jefe was also seen hitting WWE legend Jeff Hardy‘s Swanton Bomb. As it’s a really iconic thing for pro wrestling fans, they weren’t impressed, and even showed it on social media.
Saying that even the pro wrestler won’t be happy after seeing this, someone from the audience said, “Jeff Hardy would scoff at this.” “More like jeff hardly he didn’t even jump,” a member of the WWE universe wrote while saying that Danis wasn’t able to do it to perfection. (Via: X)
Even though fans aren’t happy with Dillon for trying to imitate Hardy’s move, it might just be his way of telling everyone that he’s ready for the Logan Paul fight. As the MMA star is set to fight The Maverick on Saturday it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the WWE fighter.
Jeff Hardy isn’t the first WWE legend Dillon Danis took a dig at
Some of the fans might be unhappy that Danis imitated Jeff Hardy, but Enigmatic Soul isn’t the first WWE legend Dillon took a dig at. The 6-foot-tall MMA star has previously mentioned Adam Copeland, in his tweets targeting Nina Agdal.
Even though the 30-year-old never tagged Edge in his tweets, he referred to his name as Rated R Superstar. Danis did it while trying to defame Logan’s fiance by posting inappropriate pictures of her.
In one of the tweets, Dillon shared a picture of Agdal with a caption pointing out the Rated R superstar. Doing something similar, he once dragged the wrestler by writing, “Edge been wilding out after retirement.”

Such continuous targeting of the female figure was the reason Nina filed a lawsuit against Danis. But the MMA didn’t stop, and frequency took digs at The Maverick’s partner. He even dragged her past into the tweets, and this has made this rivalry even more personal.
Logan will have the opportunity to take out El Jefe on October 14 during their boxing match. Will the social media star be able to avenge everything his real-life partner suffered due to Dillon Danis? It’ll be known when they fight on Saturday.
