Dillon Danis vs Logan Paul: Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion threatens to 'choke' MMA fighter during boxing match: 'Might put him to sleep'
CLEVELAND, OHIO: In their boxing match, Dillon Danis has threatened to choke Logan Paul with a ‘guillotine’ in order to knock him out. On October 14, Danis, a Bellator MMA star, will face Paul at Manchester's AO Arena in his boxing debut.
The match will take place on the Misfits Boxing "Prime Card," which will also include KSI, Paul's former rival turned business partner, competing against 'Love Island' star Tommy Fury, who defeated Jake Paul in February.
Dillon Danis warns Logan Paul
Dillon Danis, a multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion, is famed for his submission techniques. Logan Paul, a successful collegiate wrestler, has acknowledged that Danis' prowess in grappling would give him the upper hand in an eventual MMA contest.
In a livestream with influencer Adin Ross, Dillon Danis threatened to choke out Logan Paul while showcasing his grappling prowess.
“That's the thing with Logan, if we're boxing and he ducks his head at all, I'm going to choke him out,” he said.
“No, but I might just put him to sleep and say f**k it. There's a lot of things I can do,” Danis said while answering Adin Ross who asked if the move would be legal.
Danis reiterated his threat to submit by saying to Mirror Fighting last month that Paul has promised to fight him in MMA if their bout against each other next month proceeds as planned.
“If I get one on him, I'm putting him to sleep. I told him that in the face-to-face, we agreed to an MMA match and shook hands on it. He said that if I show up for the boxing fight, he will fight me in MMA,” he added.
