Logan Paul’s fight with Dillon Danis descended into chaos after the MMA star attempted to knock his opponent down with a jiu-jitsu move in the final round of their bout on Saturday night in Manchester.
Security was forced into the ring to separate the two fighters, with Paul’s corner going to the canvas to defend their fighter. Danis’ team joined them in the ring when a mass brawl broke out.
Security dragged both fighters back to their corners, a sea of bodyguards between them. Danis could be heard yelling at me in a “Jiu-Jitsu” match while the arena yelled “I predict a riot.”
After things calmed down, Michael Buffer announced that Paul had won the fight by disqualification. Danis was less impressed and shook his head before storming out of the ring.
Losing was not an option for Logan Paul. Not after the emotional turmoil Dillon Danis caused his fiancée Nina Agdal in the lead-up to their highly anticipated fight.

The trigger was Danis trying to throw Paul to the ground in the final moments of the fight
Security forces swarmed the ring in chaotic scenes as the fight descended into anarchy
It was a wild end to a fight in which Paul’s fiancée had previously been targeted by Danis
You could see the anger and hatred in Paul’s eyes as he made his way to the ring. The 28-year-old only thought about violence. There was no way he was going to let Danis humiliate him and his partner any further.
So that’s exactly what Paul managed to do to defeat the MMA star. It may not have been pretty and it may not have been a great performance, but Paul did his job and ended the competition with a disqualification.
Paul was overcome with emotion after the fight and shouted “Come on” before saying: “I forgave Dillon before this fight started.” But he called himself a real fighter? What are you talking about? Hey McGregor, I put your bitch on a leash and took her for a walk! Who is the real fighter now? If Dillon pays me his entire wallet, I’ll finish him in MMA too.’
He added: “This is a hobby for me. “I’m a WWE superstar. I’m moving back to WWE. I have my eye on something, someone. I am an American boy. I want that US title. Rey Mysterio, I have already beaten you once and I will win the championship. Maybe if Conor McGregor wants to stand up for his bitch, I’ll fight him next year.”
Paul’s fight with Danis was a completely one-sided defeat. Danis talked about a good game before Saturday night’s fight, but couldn’t deliver. He spent more time talking to Paul in the ring than throwing punches at him.
Meanwhile, Paul looked far more energetic than in his previous fights. It was no surprise that the WWE star came flying out of the corner and fired several left and right hand jabs to the body.
There’s no denying that his training for KSI and Floyd Mayweather required tough drills, but those fights were more about gaining exposure and raising his profile. This fight against Danis, however, was all about his masculinity.
However, it didn’t take long for Logan’s part to start crying at Thursday’s press conference. However, that didn’t stop him from throwing a series of combinations in the second round.

But Paul’s combinations caused little trouble for Danis as the WWE star failed to get to his feet and connect effectively. Nevertheless, he won every round.
After barely throwing any punches, Danis decided to taunt Paul by laying on the ground in the third round of the fight. The referee had to signal “No knockdown”.
Danis continued to taunt Paul by asking the WWE star to compete against him in a jiu-jitsu match mid-fight. Paul was visibly irritated and shook his head before throwing a left jab.
It wasn’t long before Danis gave up boxing and resorted to jiu-jitsu. Paul was furious and could be seen screaming in the MMA star’s corner as they taunted him from ringside.
But it wasn’t until the last lap that chaos broke out. Danis tried to throw Paul to the ground before kicking the WWE star off the ground. Paul then retreated to his corner before his team climbed through the ropes. Danis charged toward Paul’s corner team and began swinging. As a result, security took over the screen.
