Adin Ross vs Dillon Danis: Viral video shows MMA fighter toying with Kick streamer in fun sparring session
MIAMI, FLORIDA: During a fun sparring match, Dillon Danis was seen knocking out Adin Ross and pushing him to the ground, as per a viral video.
Danis, who is about to face Logan Paul in an exhibition contest on October 14 arranged by the Misfits Boxing, has been promoting it through collaborations with social media celebrities since the fight was officially unveiled in August.
Other than that, "El Jefe" has also gained enormous popularity by using contentious promotional strategies like posting old pictures of Logan Paul's fiancee, Nina Agdal. Danis continued to promote his fight by participating in an in-person webcast with Ross, a well-known streamer.
The two met in a boxing facility and engaged in some mild contact.

El Jefe might have gone a bit far as he consistently shared images of Agdal with other men, including that of her ex-boyfriends, apparently to develop a negative perception of her and to affect Paul mentally.
The MMA fighter even talked about at an allegedly shocking photo of Agdal during the past few weeks, hinting that it might cause the battle between him and Paul to be called off, and he recently showed it to Adin Ross, a controversial streamer.

After seeing the photo, Ross said, "Bro, what the f**k. That is wild, bro. I actually feel really bad. Yeah [they would pull the fight if you showed people]. That’s too far."
Danis' last combat sports outing under the Bellator brand was in June 2019, and he has a history of not showing up to fights.
He canceled his boxing contest against KSI earlier this year for unspecified reasons. Paul, therefore, put up a $100,000 fine for Danis if the latter suddenly pulls out of the October 14 match.
