UFC fighter turned OnlyFans model Paige VanZant claimed the controversial MMA fighter asked her to “hook up” Dillon Danis when her husband challenged him to a fight following allegations she had committed adultery.
On Thursday, VanZant took to Instagram to respond directly to Danis, as the former submission wrestler shared a post on that she claimed he is not a ‘real fighter’ during an interview for her upcoming Misfits boxing match against Elle Brooke.
VanZant, 30, was referring to Danis on Wednesday when asked about his transition from MMA to boxing. Danis once boxed against American YouTuber Logan Paul in October 2023 and lost via disqualification.
His claim that it could ruin VanZant’s six-year marriage to Austin Vanderford on social media naturally didn’t bode well for the 34-year-old Bellator MMA fighter.
‘Dillon, boy…’ Vanderford shared on Instagram. ‘Let’s just fight. Paige’s comments seemed to bother you. We are the same weight. We can box or do whatever you want.
Paige VanZant claims Dillon Danis asked her to ‘hook up’ him after he accused her of adultery
On Wednesday, Dannis alleged that VanZant had cheated on her husband earlier in Las Vegas.
Vanderford challenged Danis to a fight after going public with the allegations, also on Wednesday.
However, it doesn’t seem like VanZant needed her husband’s protection, as she responded to Danis’ adultery accusations with a recorded video of herself on Instagram on Thursday.
“Hey, it’s come to my attention that there’s a certain clown on Instagram named Dillon Danis, trying to make small talk and starting some drama,” the 30-year-old content creator said at first. before telling his fans: ‘So let’s go, shall we?’
He then added, “So, Dillon… I obviously said, ‘You’re not a real fighter.’ I’m sorry if I provoked you. I understand that hurt your feelings. But, instead of coming back and just talking shit about me, saying no.” I’m a real right-winger, uhm, what did you do…?
‘You got a little screwed, didn’t you? You painted yourself into a corner because now you have to come with proof of this “alleged affair”, right? Because the only time I remember seeing you in Las Vegas was at the UFC athlete retreat. You walked up to me in a bar, asked me to identify you in front of a bunch of other UFC fighters, and I laughed in your face.
‘That’s not the definition of a relationship, is it? And starting internet drama, trying to fight with my husband, there are definitely better ways to handle that. Ugh, he has three things that you will never have. One, a wife. Two friends. And three, an actual MMA resume, so Dillon, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, but when you’re a piece of shit like you are, it’s really fucking easy.
‘Have a good!’
Together, VanZant and Vanderford create content on Onlyfans and also post regularly on Insta.
Danis ended his fighting career last year when Logan Paul defeated him in boxing.
During the build-up to his boxing match against Paul, Danis shared snaps of his fiancée Nina Agdal on social media. He proceeded to file a lawsuit and was granted a restraining order.
Danis is known for his erratic and ruthless behavior in the ring, as well as on social media. In 2018, he was involved in a melee at UFC 229 after Khabib Nurmagomedov proceeded to throw his mouthguard at him and then scaled the cage and appeared to jump towards him.
Danis responded by throwing punches at Nurmagomedov before an all-out brawl ensued. He was subsequently fined $7,500 and suspended for seven months following the incident.
During the lead-up to his boxing match with Logan Paul in October 2023, Danis continually shared images of Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal on social media.
Agdal filed a lawsuit and was granted a temporary restraining order on September 8.
