Dillon Danis is out of his upcoming fight and to say the MMA community saw this coming would be an understatement.
The team at KSI announced on Wednesday that the YouTuber’s January 14 clash with Danis, which was due to take place at Wembley Arena in London, has been cancelled, with KSI’s manager Mams Taylor claiming Danis pulled out because he was “underprepared ‘ and ‘struggling with the weight’. Instead, KSI will fight pro player FaZe Temperrr.
Since Danis hadn’t fought in a capacity since 2019, his fellow campaigners and social media personalities quickly jumped to Twitter to take a swipe at the brazen Danis. Former UFC, Bellator and ONE Championships star Ben Askren called Dani’s retirement “the most predictable news ever” and the current UFC lightweight contender joked, “Dillon will be so angry with Dani’s parents that this month he will be his Can’t pay half the rent.”

100,000% Danis couldn’t put on any weight, he’s fat and the videos he posts from working out, he’s terrible with his hands. as a spiritual dwarf, he got cold feet and withdrew

Dear @dillondanis you are an absolute show off!!! I may never have been the best fighter, but at least I and others actually took a risk. Your internet personality is junk and you should go!
