Dillon Danis is currently a free agent and an undefeated professional MMA fighter, plus he was released by Bellator earlier this year.
Although Danis has yet to sign with a promotion, one thing he is against is competing on Dana White’s Contender Series, as he would rather retire instead of fighting on that show.
“I’d rather retire, bro,” Danis said on The MMA Hour. “I’m not Sean O’Malley, I’m bigger than him. I have the most followers than any welterweight in all of MMA.”
Danis sits at 2-0-0 as a professional MMA fighter, picking up victories over the duo of Kyle Walker and Max Humphrey.
One major reason Danis won’t do the Contender Series is that he believes people just want to see him in the UFC already.
“Everybody wants to see me in the UFC,” Danis explained. “People think that I just did a boxing match, that my jiu-jitsu isn’t on a different level. I’ll fight Islam [Makhachev] first fight. I’ll fight any of them first fight, I swear. At the end of the day, if I lose, I lose. I could do 155 or 170. [Holland] an easy fight. Give me a warmup. This is too easy. He has no takedown defense and I think I’d submit him in the first round.”
