Dillon Danis, the controversial mixed martial artist, has been released by Bellator, according to reports from Ariel Helwani. This move brings Danis one step closer to his dream of joining the UFC.
Danis, who is 30 years old, took to Twitter to mention UFC president Dana White, expressing his excitement about the potential for making a lot of money together. He also retweeted Helwani’s post, confirming his departure from Bellator after just two fights.
"We are about to make a lot of money, Dana White," Danis tweeted, accompanied by a handshake emoji and a money bag emoji.
White, who is 54 years old, may consider offering Danis a one-fight contract due to his ability to attract viewers. However, Danis will need to prove himself to the UFC boss.
