Jorge Masvidal made it clear that Dillon Danis was never leaving UFC 322 without trouble. The former UFC BMF champion said he was ready to confront Danis before realising Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammates had already stepped in.

Danis had spent much of fight week provoking several fighters online. The situation boiled over when members of Nurmagomedov’s team swarmed Danis before the main card. The altercation ended with Danis receiving a lifetime ban from attending UFC events.

Masvidal later explained that he was already moving toward the seating area when he crossed paths with Magomed Zaynukov, who appeared shaken and bloodied. Speaking on his podcast Death Row MMA, he said:

"We’re not going to mention this fu*ker’s name, but he did get his a*s beat by the Muslim brotherhood, who stole it from me because I was literally on my way to whoop this motherfu*ker's a*s. He sent me a couple messages, and I was like, ‘Alright, cool, keep sending me these messages, brother, we’re going to have to see each other’

He added:

“I start walking over to my seat from the VIP room, and I run into ‘Chanco’ [Magomed Zaynukov], and I’m like ‘What’s up, man?’ because police are all over him. I go ‘What happened, brother?’ and I see his hands are bloody, so I’m like ‘Nah, look at your hands, what happened to your hands?’ He goes ‘Oh no, all good bro, little problem, I took care of it. I said ‘Okay, alright, alright.'"

UFC officials stopped Masvidal before he reached the floor, unaware that he had missed the chaos by minutes. Masvidal admitted he had been preparing to confront Danis after receiving several heated messages earlier in the week.


Khabib Nurmagomedov's coach explains why their team attacked Dillon Danis

Khabib Nurmagomedov's coach, Javier Mendez, believes Dillon Danis walked straight into the trouble that erupted at UFC 322. The melee began when Danis positioned himself in the fighters' section near the Dagestani squad.

Moments later, punches were thrown, and security rushed in as Danis was dragged out of Madison Square Garden. Speaking in a recent interview with Submission Radio, Mendez said:

“He was sitting in the fighter’s section and sitting where Team Khabib was to boot... Then they showed me videos of what he was showing. He was showing Ali [Abdelaziz] and Islam in a relationship-type embrace. Then he was doing things with a po*nstar and Islam embracing. And then he’s talking crap on other things. What do you expect when you do that? You go and sit with the guys, and you’re riling them up with big, huge disrespect. Stop picking on people’s religion, man. That’s what he was doing, he was making fun of it.”
