Massive Brawl Interrupts Start of UFC 322 Allegedly Between Islam Makhachev and Dillon Danis' Camps
Dillon Danis was banned from UFC events after a brawl with Islam Makhachev's team at UFC 322, with UFC CEO Dana White confirming no charges will be filed.
- On Nov. 15, Dillon Danis was involved in a cageside brawl at UFC 322 inside Madison Square Garden that erupted before the main card headlined by Islam Makhachev against Jack Della Maddalena.
- Longstanding animus between the camps, including online insults, preceded the ringside confrontation as Danis mocked Islam Makhachev on social media during fight week and had worked in Conor McGregor's corner in 2018.
- Multiple videos show Dillon Danis scuffling with Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov as barricades dropped, beers flew, a chair was lifted, and dozens of security rushed in at ringside.
- Dana White, UFC CEO, announced at the post-fight news conference that the UFC has banned Dillon Danis from future events and will not press criminal charges, with no others charged to his knowledge.
- Dana White said UFC staff warned Danis was moving through fighter seats and sitting six or seven rows from Jorge Masvidal, and his prior seven-month suspension and $7,500 fine from UFC 229 provide disciplinary context.
