Dillon Danis has no problem addressing his detractors.
The well known Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace will be making his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut sometime in the future, but he has some gripes with the Bellator NYC card. The main one being, he isn’t on it at least not yet.
Bellator NYC has a bevy of recognizable names such as Chael Sonnen, Wanderlei Silva, and Fedor Emelianenko. The event will also play host to two title bouts. Despite the level of well known talent on the card, Danis says the pay-per-view flops if he isn’t on it.
In a recent interview with MMAJunkie.com, Danis challenged anyone who disagrees to say it face-to-face:
“We’d have to talk. We’d have to talk numbers, we’d have to talk everything. Just enticement. Because at the end of the day, that pay-per-view is not going to sell unless I’m on it. They’ve got a bunch of guys that no one cares about. But you put me on there, and the numbers will skyrocket, in my hometown, Madison Square Garden. The ball’s in their field. At the end of the day, I say what I want, I do what I want. And no one’s going to stop me. If you don’t think I’m the highest paid, come say it to my face.”
