Dana White says Dillon
Danis headlining other combat sports events makes no difference
to him.
Danis faced Arman
Tsarukyan in the main event of Real American Freestyle 14 in
Las Vegas on Oct. 23. Tsarukyan dominated the wrestling match,
winning by technical fall, 10-0. Danis, who is banned from
attending
Ultimate Fighting Championship events, was involved in
altercations before and after the match.

Dana White cites Dillon Danis‘ history of altercations after
his RAF 14 loss to Arman Tsarukyan
Asked about Danis receiving headlining opportunities after
UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi, White cited his history of altercations
when explaining the ban.
“What difference would it make to me?” White said at the UFC 333
postfight news conference. “It doesn’t make any difference to me.
What happens is, in my experience, every time Dillon Danis shows up
somewhere, there’s a fight that breaks out. So, after the last one,
it’s just—we don’t need that aggravation here.”
White announced that Danis would be barred from future UFC events
after his involvement in a brawl with members of Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s team at
UFC 322 in November 2025. Security escorted Danis out of
Madison Square Garden after the incident, which also involved
Abubakar
Nurmagomedov and Magomed
Zaynukov.

As Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel
Cormier began their opening commentary and Baba O’Reilly played
in Madison Square Garden, fists flew between Dillon
Danis and members of Team Khabib, including Abubakar
Nurmagomedov and Magomed
Zaynukov among others.— SANTINO (@TheRealSantino)
