Chael Sonnen Clears Up Rumors About Danis: “He Says Yes To Anybody Under Any Rules”

 

 

The business of fight promoting is tough and it’s always good to get some genuine insight from behind the scenes. Submission Underground creator Chael Sonnen just cleared up the Danis situation on his podcast explaining Danis’ statement that he insists he be featured on a Pay Per View as well as how hard it was to get him to say yes do Jake Shields grapple fight.

 

 

Here’s what Sonnen had to say on Danis:

“I read the things that are said about Dillon and I can just tell you it’s not been my experience. And people think he’s brash and he’s arrogant. I don’t see a problem with a guy coming out and telling you he’s the best if he’s willing to step in there and back it up. And I can just tell you from working with him. He says yes to anybody under any rules and never asks about weight class. There’s nothing there. He’s just a guy that believes in himself that wants to make as big of a splash as quickly as he can and that’s really it”

Sonnen continued clarifying the Bellator situation where Danis reportedly wanted to be featured on the Pay per view:

“He did sign with Bellator and he did say hey I want to be on the pay per view and Bellator said the pay per view part is full. And it’s your debut. You can’t quite demand that yet and it didn’t get put together. And a lot of people thought he was wrong on that. Inform your own opinion on who is right or wrong however. Don’t lose sight of the fact that he is fully aware that it’s his debut. And he was also aware that if he goes on the main card it’s gonna be a really tough opponent. He was agreeable on that. “
