Dillon Danis vs. Logan Paul was the most anticipated match of The Prime Card. The build-up had everyone hooked but when it was time for action, this match failed to deliver big time. Danis did not even try to fight, holding a defensive stance for almost the whole fight. However, based on one of his recent tweets, Dillon is taking not getting knocked out as a moral victory.
In a recent tweet, ‘El Jefe’ decided to call out all his critics including UFC announcer, Joe Rogan. Danis wrote, “Where’s everyone that said I wouldn’t last a round, even Joe Rogan called me Ben Askren,” referring to an interaction between Joe Rogan & Sean O’Malley. During the 147th edition of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan praised Dillon’s grappling game but also said that “he is not known to for being a boxer, it’s like the Ben Askren situation.”
In another bizarre tweet, Dillon made a sincere yet strange request to Logan’s fiancée. “If I were Nina, I’d call off the wedding,” said Dillon. Dillon Danis and Nina Agdal have had their issues throughout the buildup for this fight. Furthermore, Nina filed a lawsuit against Dillon for social media harassment.

Furthermore, he said that he had “no camp or coach” yet he “never wobbled, never dropped, and had no standing eight counts.” In addition to this, ‘El Jefe’ kept on taking shots at Logan’s relationship as usual.

In one of their pre-fight face-off, Logan Paul promised to rematch Dillon Danis in an MMA bout if he showed up on October 14, 2023. However, it looks like Logan wants to go back to the WWE to pursue his dreams of being a champion there.

Furthermore, given the ending of their boxing match, it is highly unlikely that Logan will trust Dillon Danis to play fair in an MMA fight. If Logan accepts this match, Dillon might have a chance at redeeming himself in the eyes of the fans.
