Dillon Danis experienced an unexpected setback after facing Logan Paul in October 2023: his disqualification due to unsportsmanlike conduct was particularly painful following numerous personal attacks he made towards Nina Agdal (Paul’s then fiancee) on social media resulting in legal proceedings being filed against them both.
Danis expressed his shock over the outcome, explaining to Wade Plemons how his defeat had left him devastated, leading him to doubt his skills despite believing in them. While trying to rebuild from this low point, Danis became embroiled in an altercation with former UFC fighter Darren Till – set to fight Luke Rockhold at Misfits 22 event against Daniel Straus. Till had posted video footage of his training regimen which provoked Danis who criticized it while suggesting more technique-centric preparation would benefit.
Till, whose career trajectory took a downturn after a submission defeat to Tyron Woodley in 2018, responded harshly to Danis’s critique, mocking his absence from the UFC and alluding insensitively to Danis’s disclosed mental health struggles. This exchange stirred further animosity between the two athletes.
Dillon Danis Accuses Darren Till of Quitting
Danis responded to Till’s provocation by accusing him of lacking resilience and ambition; stressing their differing approaches towards winning and dealing with adversity. But this heated exchange didn’t end there: Till took immediate offense at this accusation by discrediting Danis’ achievements relative to his UFC background and past triumphs.
Darren Till and Dillon Danis’ ongoing feud has attracted considerable media coverage, leading to speculation of an impending fight inside either a boxing ring or an octagon. While whether this clash will become real remains to be seen, but at any rate it has created excitement ahead of an anticipated showdown.
