Dillon Danis has recently garnered significant attention due to his aggressive verbal jabs, particularly aimed at Nina Agdal. Sports Illustrated model Agdal is currently engaged to YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul. Additionally, it should be mentioned that Danis and Paul have a forthcoming boxing bout set to take place in Manchester on October 14.
The MMA fighter Danis has shared numerous pictures of the Danish supermodel with various high-profile personalities, and in some instances, these images have been edited to suggest she has had an eventful romantic history. But did you know that Danis’ rivalry with the Paul brothers is not recent?

Danis was not even allowed to enter the rematch between YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul and KSI in 2019. Now that the duo is in the headlines for their feud, that old piece of news has once again been doing the rounds. The news not only shows the hostile past between Logan and Danis but also proves that the latter has been considered notorious for creating problems for a long time now.
Why was Dillon Danis banned from the KSI vs. Logan Paul fight?
Former Bellator fighter Danis had plans to be present at the major boxing event between YouTube sensations KSI and Logan Paul. His primary objective was to trouble Jake, the younger Paul brother. The two had ignited a significant feud a few months before that fight and had also openly expressed their desire to settle their differences in a boxing match. Jake Paul escalated the tension by disclosing that he had slept with Danis’ girlfriend.
One more reason why Danis was banned from entering the arena might have been his association with the hostile situation that happened at UFC 229. This was the event that gave Danis the popularity and limelight that that he has significantly used to his advantage. For those unaware, Danis has been long associated with former UFC double champ Conor McGregor as a training partner.
Sources tell me Dillon Danis was supposed to be at the KSI vs Logan Paul fight but is being banned from the arena labeled as a “high risk”. @dillondanis

Khabib submitted Conor in the fourth round to retain his lightweight belt, but out of nowhere, he decided to jump over the fence to attack Dillon Danis. This aggression from the Dagestani champion was a result of constant insults and provocation by Conor and his team. This might have been a reason at the time to deem Danis as a “high-risk” individual.
However, one has to accept that, from not being allowed to enter the boxing match arena to fighting Logan himself, Dillon Danis has come a long way.
