Dillon Danis made quite a ruffle about signing a very nice contract with Bellator. In fact he claims to be among the best paid fighters in that entire organisation.
While his grappling pedigree is quite interesting and beyond a question of a doubt his striking and integrations into MMA are under a big question mark.
Danis just released the first video of himself engaged in MMA sparring (attached below)
Of course Danis won’t be making his debut for quite some time. He was adamant he be included in the pay-per-view on his debut and when that didn’t come together he refocused on ADCC hoping to affirm his potential there.
As far as defeat from Jake Shields go Danis writes:
I show up to any rule set- Gi or No Gi and will take my losses like a man. Jake survived a 10 min onslaught of my submissions to beat me in the overtime round by 8 seconds for fastest escape, fair play to him he is a legend. I still believe in myself 100% and this will not define me. You will all swallow your words keep basking in a other mans struggles i’ll remember everything.
