The fighting community felt that BJJ star Dillon Danis’ performance against YouTuber turned-boxer Logan Paul was underwhelming. However, his training partner since 2016, Conor McGregor, was full of praise for Dillon Danis. Evidently, both shared heartwarming tweets about each other. Now, amidst the Irishman’s support, ‘El Jefe’ revealed his plans to take legal action against Paul. In one of his recent tweets, the Bellator veteran revealed that multiple offenses could be committed by Paul’s camp. Thus, it may warrant legal consequences. This would be the second judicial action of their matchup, as earlier Danis had faced a $400,000 costing case from Maverick’s fiance Nina Agdal.
Logan Paul defeated Dillon Danin via disqualification last weekend at Misfit boxing co-main event in Manchester, England. At the end of the sixth round, ‘El Jefe’ attempted to grapple with ‘The Maverick‘, prompting security to step inside the ring. The BJJ star would claim that this warrants an immediate disqualification. Thus, changing the outcome of the fight.
