Bellator MMA talent Dillon
Danis has apparently recently encountered some trouble with law
enforcement.
A video posted on Instagram shows Danis being taken away by police
while wearing a brace on his right knee. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu
specialist is lifted off the ground, handcuffed and hauled away by
officers outside of an establishment that is reportedly Beachcomber
Bar and Grill in Seaside Heights, N.J., according to
MMAjunkie.com.
Further details regarding the incident are currently unclear,
although what appears to be a mugshot of Danis has also surfaced
on Twitter.
