Dillon Danis may have found his next fight.
It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen the former Bellator star compete in MMA. Prior to this weekend, Dillon Danis had not gotten his hand raised in over six years.
Danis’ last fight was a disqualification loss to Logan Paul in a high-profile boxing match in 2023.
The 32-year-old improved to 3-0 as a pro on Saturday when he took on Warren Spencer at Misfits Boxing 22. Danis submitted his opponent in 15 seconds before calling out KSI and strongman Eddie Hall to an MMA fight.
As outspoken as he is, it looks like Danis has options after his successful return. However, a UFC legend he recently called out is apparently off the table.

Daniel Cormier suggests Dillon Danis fight Bellator veteran
Daniel Cormier caught a stray from Danis yesterday.
After a weigh-in altercation with Cormier’s longtime teammate Luke Rockhold, who was brutally knocked out by Darren Till in the main event, Danis says he’d fight DC’s ‘fat a–‘ next.
Cormier has been retired from MMA for the last five years.
“So I can’t fight you scrub,” the 46-year-old responded to Danis.
“But I have a guy that’ll kick your a– any day of the week @KyleCrutchmer,” Cormier suggested.
Crutchmer (10-2) is a two-time NCAA All-American wrestler and a former Bellator fighter. Crutchmer had a winning record of 6-2 in Bellator MMA, where Danis had his first two fights. Crutchmer has never been finished in his career.
“But you won’t fight him!” Cormier told Danis.
“You’ll ride that sorry win for as long as you can. You Won’t fight him,” Cormier repeated.
Kyle Crutchmer down to fight Dillon Danis in MMA
Cormier and Crutchmer are on the same page about fighting Danis.
Crutchmer recently said he has his eyes on fighting in the UFC, but now his sights are very much on shutting up Danis.
“I Got his a– DC !” Crutchmer wrote on X.
“But we know he won’t do it.. let’s goo @dillondanis #RUNIT.”
“Nah let me run it,” Crutchmer said of Danis facing off with Eddie Hall.
Crutchmer’s last win was a TKO over former UFC welterweight Bobby Nash at Bellator 297 in 2023. He hasn’t fought since.
