Henry Cejudo recently took shots at Dillon Danis on social media while reacting to the alleged brawl between the latter's crew and Islam Makhachev's camp at UFC 322 in New York.

During the UFC 322 event, the commentators noticed that there was a rumpus taking place in the stands. Soon after, MMA-based social media handles posted videos of the brawl showing Danis' crew and Makhachev's team seemingly going at each other.

Videos showed Makhachev's training partner Magomed Zaynukov at the forefront of the scuffle, throwing hands at Danis' crew. Soon after, @RedCorner_MMA reported that Danis had been knocked out during the brawl via an X post. Footage later showed UFC CBO Hunter Campbell stepping in to help control the chaos, while security personnel held back Danis, who had a shoe in his hand.

In an X post, Cejudo fired some shots at the jiu-jitsu savant. Joking about Danis' rumored knockout in the stands, he wrote:

It's worth noting that there is a history of bad blood between team Danis and team Makhachev, going back to Khabib Nurmagomedov's iconic fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in October 2018. Danis' antics before and during the fight irked Nurmagomedov, and 'The Eagle' jumped over the cage after submitting McGregor to launch an attack on 'El Jefe'.

Since then, Danis has wasted no opportunity trash-talking the Dagestani grappling savant's camp online. Danis has also claimed that he'd breeze past Makhachev in a potential fight and has made it clear that he wants to compete in the UFC someday. He's 3-0 in MMA and is coming off a first-round submission win over Warren Spencer to win the Misfits MMA light heavyweight title at MF & DAZN X Series 22 in August.
