Dillon Danis Banned from UFC After Chaotic Ringside Brawl
You won’t believe what happened at UFC 322 last night. Dillon Danis, the former Bellator fighter and Misfits MMA champ, has officially been banned from attending any future UFC events after a shocking ringside brawl at Madison Square Garden. The drama unfolded before the main card even began, and it’s all over video. Danis was ejected from the crowd following his involvement in a heated altercation with several Russian fighters seated nearby.
UFC President Dana White addressed the incident during the post-fight press conference and admitted that, in his own words, the chaos was his fault. Apparently, there was some confusion about who was sitting where, and Danis had been moving around, occupying seats that didn’t belong to him. Security warned White that Jorge Masvidal had threatened to confront Danis if they crossed paths, but since both fighters had tickets, White let it slide, thinking everything would stay under control.

Things quickly spiraled. White described the moment he realized the gravity of the situation: Danis had gotten into a confrontation with members of the crowd who were supporting Islam Makhachev, and White immediately knew the brawl was serious. His reaction was blunt: “You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again.” Despite the chaos, White decided not to press charges, but the message was clear—Danis is done with UFC events.
This isn’t the first time Danis has made headlines at Madison Square Garden. He was previously removed in 2021 after a backstage altercation during UFC 268 involving MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz. Last night’s incident, however, took things to another level, cementing his reputation as one of MMA’s most controversial figures.
Despite being banned from UFC events, Danis isn’t slowing down. He recently won the inaugural Misfits MMA title with a 15-second submission over Warren Spencer and is scheduled to defend his title against Anthony Taylor in Dubai on December 20. Meanwhile, UFC 322 continued with some spectacular fights: Bo Nickal knocked out Rodolfo Vieira with a head kick in their middleweight prelim bout, and Benoit Saint-Denis finished Beneil Dariush in just 16 seconds. The main event featured UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena defending his belt against Islam Makhachev, who was competing in his sixth consecutive fight with a title on the line.
For Danis, this chapter at Madison Square Garden may have closed the door on UFC attendance forever, but his career in Misfits MMA and boxing, along with his social media presence, keeps him in the spotlight. Last night’s brawl will be remembered as one of the wildest moments ringside in recent UFC history, and Dillon Danis, once again, is at the center of the storm.
