Looks like our spec about a Dillon Danis vs Gracie match under the Bellator banner wasn’t too far off. Within the last 24 hours another memeber of the Gracie family confirmed being offered the Dillon Danis debut. No, sadly it wasn’t Ralek Gracie.
It was none other than Neiman Gracie with a stellar mma record – Gracie is 5-0 in MMA with first two fights under the World series of fighting banner and the other two under the Bellator promotion where he is currently under contract.

He last fought Rudy Bears whom he defeated via armbar in November of last year.
guys I was offered the fight with Dillon Davis at @BellatorMMA MSG. We agreed to the fight but he backed out. This is not the first time.

Danis last tweeted about Madison Square Garden but failed to provide any additional context.
Madison Square Garden ?
