It appears Dillon Danis was going to get attacked one way or the other at UFC 322.
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team jumped Danis at the start of Saturday’s pay-per-view main card at Madison Square, causing a huge melee to break out. Coach Javier Mendez explained that Danis was confronted after heckling Islam Makhachev and other members of the team on social media.

Now, former UFC star Jorge Masvidal revealed that Danis was poking at him, as well, and he planned on making Danis pay for it – until Team Khabib got there first.
“He did get his ass beat by the Muslim brotherhood,” Masvidal said of Danis on his “Death Row MMA” podcast. “They stole it from me because I was literally on my way to whoop this motherf*cker’s ass. He’s been sending me a couple messages and I was like, ‘All right, cool, keep sending me these messages, brother, we’re going to have to see each other.’ Bo (Nickal) gets that knockout, and they show the replay of the fans reacting and guess who’s there? B*tchass b*tch. So I tell the UFC immediately, ‘This fan experience is over. I want to go to my seat please.’ I start walking toward my seat from the VIP room, and I run into ‘Chanco’ (Zaynukov), and I’m like, ‘What’s up, man?’ Because police are all over him. I go, ‘What happened, brother?’
“And I see his hands are bloody, so I’m like, ‘Nah, something happened. Look at your hands.’ He goes, ‘Oh no, all good, bro, little problem I took care of it.’ I go, ‘All right, all right.’ As I’m getting closer to the arena, the UFC starts running at me, ‘You stay right here, don’t move. What just happened? What did you get into?’ They’re grabbing me and holding me. I’m like, ‘Bro, I just literally got here.’ … I wish I could have done something. By the time I got out to the main (card), all the good fun was taken already. Dillon Danis had already got f*cking mopped up, kicked in the f*ckng face. They made him eat sh*t, made him lick the floor, and then they kicked his ass out, and banned him. Sucks for you, p*ssy, because I’m not going to get to f*ck your ass up.”
As a result, Danis now has been banned from attending UFC events by Dana White.
