The fighter known as “El Jefe” has been on hiatus since losing by disqualification to Logan Paul at the Misfits Boxing event in October. During the match, Danis was abusive, attempting takedowns and submissions.
After the event, Danis finished his mixed martial arts record with 2 wins and 0 losses, and his boxing record with 0 wins and 1 loss, and announced his retirement from martial arts. The controversial fighter is best known for his brawl with Conor McGregor's grappling coach and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Dillon Danis claims he will fight former UFC champion
Danis has not announced which MMA organization he will return to.
The controversial fighters appeared at McGregor's Roadhouse premiere and were interviewed by MMA Fighting. He has made it clear that he is ready to return to MMA.
“I'll probably fight a former UFC champion and MMA Hall of Famer.” He wouldn't say which promotion, but said the announcement would be a big one since he's a well-known opponent. .
Danis had previously campaigned to join the UFC, but UFC CEO Dana White wasn't sold on the idea, saying:
“We don't need any of those sluts picking fights…The athletic commission is going crazy, people are starting to get fined, they're coming after us. It's our job to get that shit under control. . That's why when you look at other events with these guys and everything breaks out like that… it's a total, unprofessional clown show.”
Danis later claimed he would turn down the opportunity to fight on Dana White's Contender Series and The Ultimate Fighter.
Dana White doubts Dillon Danis' UFC affiliation
Dana White finally answered Dillon Danis' call to join the UFC.
Dillon Danis gave influencer boxing a try despite being plagued by injuries throughout his mixed martial arts career. He was originally scheduled to face British YouTube star KSI, but withdrew from the match just 10 days before the fight. He then arranged a match with Logan Paul. Danis, in particular, engaged in trolling targeting Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal, sharing various photos of her and the man, some from past relationships, some photoshopped, and some from events. He shared his encounters with famous people.
Agdal then filed a restraining order against Danis and added a defamation claim, but that didn't stop the controversial fighter from posting her.
