Dillon Danis Mocks Paige VanZant After Boxing Debut
Dillon Danis didn't hold back in mocking Paige VanZant after her boxing debut ended in disappointment. VanZant, a former UFC fighter, was dropped by Tik Tok star Elle Brooke in the opening round of their much-anticipated bout.
Danis, a controversial former Bellator star, had engaged in a feud with VanZant in the lead-up to the fight, and it seems he took great pleasure in her defeat.
The build-up to the fight had seen tensions rise between Danis and VanZant, with VanZant claiming that Danis wasn't a 'real fighter' during an interview.
This sparked a war of words between the two, with Danis seizing the opportunity to take a shot at VanZant after her defeat.
Taking to social media, Danis posted a rare tweet that managed to survive only a few hours before being deleted. In the tweet, he appeared to revel in VanZant's loss, further stoking the flames of their feud.
VanZant, on the other hand, has remained silent on the matter, choosing to keep a low profile on social media following her defeat.
The fight itself was highly anticipated, with many expecting VanZant's extensive fight experience to give her the upper hand against Brooke, who had only started training in 2022.
However, it became apparent early on that VanZant's three-year hiatus from the ring had taken its toll, as she was dropped by a powerful right hand from Brooke.
Despite the early setback, VanZant managed to regain her composure and put up a strong fight in the subsequent rounds.
The bout went the distance, with both fighters delivering an action-packed performance that divided fans on social media. In the end, two judges scored the fight in favor of one woman, while the third judge declared it a draw, resulting in a split decision.
Interestingly, this was not the only draw of the night, as a preliminary bout between Alaena Vampira and Lauren Baker also ended in a deadlock. The night's events certainly provided plenty of drama and excitement for fans in attendance.
Leading up to the fight, VanZant seemed to have more animosity towards Danis than her actual opponent, Elle Brooke. She took to social media to share several mocking posts about Danis, while maintaining a respectful demeanor towards Brooke.
The feud between VanZant and Danis began during a promotional interview with the Misfits YouTube channel, where VanZant jokingly dismissed Danis as "not a fighter." This comment seemed to have struck a nerve with Danis, leading to a war of words between the two fighters.
The outcome of the fight has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire in the ongoing feud between VanZant and Danis. While VanZant has yet to respond to Danis' taunts, it remains to be seen whether this rivalry will continue to play out in the public eye.
