"Otherwise, I'm going to the UFC" - Dillon Danis lays down condition for the "only way" he would stay in Bellator

Dillon Danis intends to stay with Bellator MMA, but there is a single condition he insists upon.

Danis delivered a lackluster performance that ultimately led to his disqualification loss to Logan Paul in the co-main event of Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card last weekend.

Throughout the bout, 'The Maverick' maintained an aggressive tempo, surpassing Danis in striking, while the MMA fighter primarily adopted a defensive approach. As the final bell approached, Paul was on the verge of clinching a unanimous decision win.

However, 'El Jefe' attempted to ensnare Paul in a guillotine choke, resulting in his disqualification. Despite Paul successfully defending against the choke, the aftermath of the incident escalated into a chaotic scene.

Following the bout, Dillon Danis took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce his intention to join the UFC.

As rumors swirl about the PFL's potential acquisition of Bellator MMA, 'El Jefe', who debuted at Bellator 198 in 2018, has a condition for his potential involvement with PFL – he's ready to make the move if it means the opportunity to fight Jake Paul. Danis recently posted on X:

"PFL has bought Bellator. The only way I'll stay is if they book me against Jake Paul; otherwise, I'm going to the UFC."
