Dillon Danis finally made his long-awaited return to MMA today. The controversial submission specialist has built his career across grappling, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but despite his extensive experience, the 32-year-old owns just a 0-1 record in boxing and 2-0 in MMA. Notably, he had not competed in MMA since 2019. Meanwhile, ‘El Jefe’ controversial reputation kept him away from regular competition and limited his opportunities with promoters.
His debut in the Global Fight League fell through, as did a scheduled boxing bout with KSI in February. However, on the undercard of KSI’s Misfits Boxing event, Dillon Danis made his comeback count. He submitted Warren Spencer in just one round to secure a decisive MMA victory. Dillon Danis, a training partner of Conor McGregor, forced Spencer to tap to his guillotine, securing a 3-0 MMA record.
Despite the decisive win, many fans were unimpressed by how quickly the fight ended and voiced their displeasure with boos throughout the arena. However, what followed quickly overshadowed the bout itself. The strongman-turned-MMA Eddie Hall approached ‘El Jefe’, creating a moment that instantly captured the spotlight. Misfits Boxing shared a clip of the encounter on X, sparking immediate comparisons among fans. One viewer commented, “There’s like a 230 pound difference.”
