It seems Luke Rockhold’s growing feud with fellow Misfits Boxing 22 star Dillon Danis is far from settled.
The crossover game shows no sign of disappearing, as Misfits Boxing gets set to stage its latest event Saturday in Manchester, England.
AO Arena will play host as a number of prominent combat sports names and social media personalities enter the ring. And as is often the case for these events, things have been heated throughout fight week.
That includes for the main event matchup between Luke Rockhold and Darren Till, as the latter welcomes the former UFC middleweight champion to the sport after already reeling off two wins under the Misfits banner.
But while those two clearly share animosity, ‘The Gorilla’ is not the only man with whom Rockhold has gone back and forth.

Luke Rockhold claims Dillon Danis ‘got clapped’
In addition to trading barbs with Till during a fiery Misfits Boxing 22 press conference on Thursday, Rockhold went at it with Dillon Danis as things quickly turned violent on stage.
If that wasn’t evidence enough of what the pair think of each other, news of a backstage brawl between Rockhold and Danis proved it ahead of Friday’s weigh-ins.
While speaking on stage a few hours later, Danis claimed he knocked out Rockhold during the melee. That was disputed by the UFC legend during a recent interview with Misfits Boxing, as he revealed his recollection of things before sending the controversial grappler a threat.
“Well, he walked out of the elevator, I walked in” Rockhold began.
“He talked his s—, and he got clapped. That’s what happens, little b—h a— troll.
“I see that motherf—er, round two, he’s gonna get it,” Rockhold added.

Luke Rockhold and Dillon Danis have different opponents at Misfits Boxing 22
While a feud has definitely been created that could set up a future fight, for now, Rockhold and Danis will need to focus on different opponents.
Before Rockhold makes his pro boxing debut against Till in the Misfits Boxing 22 main event, Danis will be a part of history alongside YouTuber Warren Spencer.
A couple of years on from his loss to Logan Paul in the ring, Danis will feature in the first Misfits MMA fight. It will mark the American’s return to the sport after a pair of victories in Bellator over six years ago.
