Despite enduring months of build-up, Logan Paul‘s highly-anticipated clash with Dillon Danis now looks to be in jeopardy. The two social media figures have been going back and forth for a while and even sat down for a face-off to get things off their chest, so what’s the confusion in the two facing each other?
Danis has spent time online to verbally attack Nina Agdal, Logan Paul’s fiance, which has led to him being sued ahead of the fight. This angered the jiu-jitsu expert who is now threatening to withdraw just eight days out from the bout.
Although Mike Perry remains a backup fighter for the matchup, Logan Paul has told fans to ignore ‘El Jefe’. The entertainer insisted that pulling out once again could jeopardize the 30-year-old’s reputation and label him as unreliable to other promoters.
“Don’t let Dillon fool you… He knows that pulling out AGAIN would guarantee no fighter, fight organization, or legit brand will ever work with him because he’s an unreliable liar. Not to mention the embarrassment of p*ssying out against me.”
Logan continued, promising to not only break his opponent but to also “destroy his entire life” when they step into the ring together. Though if Danis doesn’t show up on fight night, ‘The Maverick’ intends to knock out any man that is standing across from him.
“I’m going to break this predator physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. This isn’t about just winning the fight; I’m going to destroy his entire life.” Logan said in a threat to Dillon Danis. “But truthfully, idgaf [I don’t give a f***] who shows up on October 14 — the man across from me will be knocked out cold.

Mike Perry shed extra doubt on the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis match taking place after he posted on social media. During the exchange of words between the co-main event stars, ‘Platinum’ told fans that he’s officially “in”, leading fans to believe that the original fight was scrapped.
This wouldn’t be the first time the BJJ practitioner has withdrawn from a fight. At Bellator 238, he would pull out of his scheduled meeting with Kegan Gennrich due to injury. More recently, Danis would no-show the press conference against KSI and then later revealed he wouldn’t be fighting the British megastar, earning himself a bad reputation in the process.
