Former MMA fighter turned boxer Anthony Taylor has trolled Dillon Danis online after the pair were filmed getting into a physical altercation.

Danis, who is also an MMA fighter and teammate of Conor McGregor, appeared at the Misfits Boxing weigh-ins and went face-to-face with YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI. 'El Jefe' is regularly known for trolling other fighters online, including Jake Paul, and fans weren't surprised to see him standing face-to-face with KSI.

In a video that surfaced after the incident, Danis and KSI can be seen exchanging words before the American lands a cheap shot on the British star. Chaos ensued as both men tried to fight each other, but Dillon Danis was swiftly removed from the building.

Upon hearing the news, Anthony Taylor, signed to KSI's Misfits Boxing, walked out of the building to confront the 29-year-old. After initially being held back by the Danis entourage, Taylor managed to land a shot before a brawl ensued.

Following the chaotic weigh-ins, Taylor took to Twitter to address the controversy. It's clear the beef between him and 'El Jefe' isn't over:

"I dub thee 'DILDO DANIS'"

Bellator MMA president Scott Coker addresses the beef between Dillon Danis and Nate Diaz

Scott Coker has suggested that Nate Diaz and Dillon Danis could settle their beef inside Bellator's cage instead of on the streets.

Diaz and Danis got into an altercation outside Madison Square Garden following UFC 281. In videos captured by fans, the pair exchanged heated words before things got physical. Both men were held back by their respective teams, but Diaz landed a Stockton slap on a teammate of Danis before the altercation subsided.

Coker is a huge fan of Nate Diaz. He has been trying to sign the former UFC fighter, who is a free agent now. In an interview with The Schmo, the Bellator president was asked about the incident between the pair and suggested it could be a fight to make for Danis' long-awaited Bellator return:

"You know, to me, it's like -- Look, if fighters wanna fight for free, please give me a call. These are professional athletes. They should be fighting for the money they deserve. But we'll see about Dillon Danis [next fight]. I really have no update right now."
