The former Grappler is still down to throw hands with one of the stars of Sunday evening's game.
Dillon Danis is certainly no stranger to call people whether they are hunters, athletes or even only celebrities. Since he first started making a name for himself in the Combat Sports World as a top grappler and training partner of Conor McGregor, the 31-year-old has spoken a big game.
However, there is not a track record for Danis who places his money where his mouth has made a number of daring statements in the past about what he would do with some of the best hunters in the world.
When he finally got into the competition in 2023 for a boxing match with Logan Paul, he was convincingly beaten by the WWE super star before he was disqualified in the sixth round. He is now ready to return for a recruited collision with KSI on March 29.
But Danis continues to acknowledge a feud with an athlete outside the combat sport circle.

Dillon Danis will bring Saquon Barkley Feud from 2019 Backup after Super Bowl Lix
Saquon Barkley is currently one of the most discussed athletes in the world after Super Bowl Lix in New Orleans on Sunday evening.
In his debut season for the Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley broke a record that has existed since 1998 after he became the record holder for the most hurry recruiting in one season in the NFL history, along with becoming a super bowl champion.
The 28-year-old running back and Dillon Danis went back and forth earlier via social media all the way back in 2019, where he tweeted his reactions to Barstool Sports 'Rough n' Rowdy 10.
All those years ago, Barkley shouted to fight against the controversial hunter and now that he is at the height of the sports world, even though he has a relatively quiet match against Kansas City's chiefs, Danis brings the callout back to the public eye.
Danis shared a screenshot about his Instagram story of an article by Barstool Sports about their social media exchange in 2019, write the following caption:
“Let's go brother @saquon haha”
Dillon Danis now seems to have his hands full
Dillon Danis has been incredibly inactive in recent years because of various important factors, but that could change.
His boxing match with Logan Paul in October 2023 was his first competitive match of any kind since his second MMA fight in Bellator in 2019, where he submitted Max Humphrey.
Danis now has the option to stay busy with his upcoming fight against KSI in Manchester on X Series 21 and the news he was drawn up last month by the Global Fight League (GFL).
If he is part of the first season of the promotion, which seems like a big question, given the turnaround he should make after his boxing efficiency, Danis will certainly not have a shortage of options.
