Dana White explains Dillon Danis UFC ban: a fight breaks out every time he shows up
The UFC boss was asked about the ban at the UFC 333 post-fight press conference in Abu Dhabi, a day after Danis lost to Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 14.
Dana White says Dillon Danis is banned from the UFC because "every time Dillon Danis shows up somewhere, there's a fight that breaks out".
The UFC boss was asked about Danis being banned from the UFC at the UFC 333 post-fight press conference in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night. He added that after the last one, "we don't need that aggravation here."
Danis was involved in two flashpoints at RAF 14 in Las Vegas this week. Arman Tsarukyan got up and swung at him at the RAF 14 press conference on Thursday, and a brawl broke out. Tsarukyan then beat Danis 10-0 by technical superiority in the RAF 14 main event on Friday and stepped on him as he got back to his feet, before security kept the pair apart.
