Dillon Danis, a jiu-jitsu blackbelt and professional MMA fighter, called out Logan Paul in a series of heated social media posts after sparring footage of his session with Brazilian UFC competitors Paulo Costa went viral on Instagram. In the footage, Paul appeared to receive a sound knockout from Costa, and struggled against his opponent during a grappling session on the mat. Needless to say, Danis wasn\u2019t pleased with Paul\u2019s efforts against the Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter, despite his wrestling pedigree from high school sports. \u201cEmbarrassing that Paulo Costa would even stage this with Logan Paul,\u201d Danis wrote in a Twitter post, including a video of their sparring session. embarrassing that Paulo Costa would even stage this with Logan Paul \ud83e\udd26\u2642\ufe0f \ud83e\udd21 pic.twitter.com\/n58h9pcFXd \u2014 Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) March 10, 2020 \u201cThis is honestly embarrassing for our sport,\u201d he continued in a separate Twitter post. \u201cI think it\u2019s time to retire Paulo Costa.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/dillondanis\/status\/1237203613061197827?s=20 That\u2019s not all: in addition to his scathing review of both Paul and Costa\u2019s performances, Danis offered up a whopping $1 million on a potential future fight with the YouTuber. \u201cI\u2019ll put $1 million of my own money on the line,\u201d he said in an Instagram comment.

With Logan historically vying for a chance at proving his worth in the octagon \u2014 even petitioning UFC president Dana White to let him fight in the sport \u2014 there\u2019s no telling if he\u2019ll actually accept Danis\u2019 challenge, or if their fight will ever even come to fruitio at all. It seems that the YouTube fighting scene has taken a sudden shift, as KSI\u2019s possible match against Jake Paul is postponed until 2021, due to the Brit currently being busy with his music career. As for Logan, his potential fight with NFL star Antonio Brown doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s going to happen after all, even though their highly-publicized beef still hasn\u2019t come to a proper conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dillon Danis bets $1 million on future fight vs \u201cembarrassing\u201d Logan Paul Dillon Danis, Logan Paul &#8211; InstagramYouTube star Logan Paul threw down in a sparring match against the MMA\u2019s Paulo Costa, even suffering a possible knockout \u2014 but one huge name in the fighting world wasn\u2019t impressed by the social media celeb\u2019s skills.
