Dillon Danis plots Islam Makhachev ‘revenge’ after Jack Della Maddalena title fight at UFC 322

Dillon Danis wants to get revenge on Islam Makhachev after their scuffle at UFC 229 in 2018, and could hop into the cage later this year to make it happen.

Renowned troll Danis has been noticeably on his best behavior during fight week for his MMA return on Saturday night against Warren Spencer. But he bossed the microphone at a press conference last night that featured legends like Darren Till, Tony Ferguson and Luke Rockhold.

He has been told by UFC boss Hunter Campbell that he must get active in order to earn a dream deal with the promotion. And it’s likely they’ll want him on his best behavior as he finally restarts his push for a UFC contract.

Dillon Danis wants to avenge 2018 scuffle with Islam Makhachev

Dillon Danis and Islam Makhachev were both a part of the infamous UFC 229 brawl that marred Khabib Nurmagomedov’s win over Conor McGregor in the biggest pay-per-view of all time. And it still hasn’t left the New Yorker’s mind, who notes that he really wants to get the former lightweight champion back.

Speaking with Bloody Elbow, Danis joked that he might have to jump into the cage like Makhachev did the night of UFC 229 when the Russian next fights. And that might just be in his hometown as Dana White has announced Makhachev will face Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 in New York.
