Dillon Danis has found himself involved in a new controversy after UFC fighter Paige VanZant stormed the internet with her allegations about the MMA fighter. Now both VanZant and her husband, Austin Vanderford, are embroiled in a public feud with Danis. Paige made allegations of adultery and a lewd proposal by Dillon. The 30-year-old responded to Danis’ claim on Instagram, revealing that he allegedly requested her to perform “pegging.” This revelation came amid a back-and-forth exchange between the two fighters, in which VanZant’s husband, a MMA fighter in Bellator, challenged “Double D El Jefe” to a fight.

During a promotional video of her upcoming match against Elle Brooke on May 25, 2024, when “12 Gauge” was questioned about past examples of athletes switching to different sports, she claimed that Danis lacked the skills of a real fighter. This comment drew a sharp reaction from Danis and the feud escalated when the former fighter reportedly threatened to reveal details of VanZant’s personal life, including “two trips to Vegas.” After this, Paige’s husband, Vanderford, immediately responded to Danis’ provocations by proposing a match to settle the dispute.

“The Gentleman” wrote on Instagram, ‘Dillon, Guy lets fight. Paige’s comments seemed to upset you. We are the same weight. We can box or do whatever you want. However, VanZant seemed unimpressed by her husband’s offer of protection, as she directly addressed Danis’ claims in a video posted on Thursday. In her response, she denied any wrongdoing and criticized Danis for his behavior.

Danis, who is known for his erratic behavior, is always involved in legal troubles stemming from his behavior on social media. But he remains a polarizing figure in the MMA community. Earlier, he was sued by Logan Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, who accused him of harassment and cyberbullying after he led a relentless campaign to share photos of the Danish model with other men, many of which were tampered with to make suggestions about her sexual history.
Now let’s see where the feud between Paige and Dillon leads to and whether the former fighter will accept her husband’s offer to fight or continue the online war.
