Dillon Danis is coming back to MMA competition for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic next month. The famed jiu-jitsu black belt had two Bellator fights after making the switch from grappling, and has been a part of Conor McGregor’s team for some of his biggest shows. Now, over six years later he gets the chance to fight in his sport of choice again. Danis had infamously made a little switch into the Misfits Boxing ring, where he was scheduled to face KSI twice, and actually did take on Logan Paul back in October of 2023. He was due to return against Tony Ferguson to launch the GFL back in May, but that show was cancelled. Dillon Danis returns to MMA on Misfits Boxing undercard Dillon Danis has confirmed that he will return to MMA competition for the first time since June of 2019 when he faces Warren Spencer in the first ever Misfits MMA bout on August 30. The pair will compete for the light-heavyweight MF MMA title, although the exact weight is unclear given it is a boxing show. Bloody Elbow has confirmed that the bout will take place in the ring, with the plan being for Misfits MMA fights to look something like old Pride events. It is unclear if and highly unlikely that old Pride rules including soccer kicks will come back, with the show likely adopting the new unified rules.
