"Danis was involved in a brawl with several members of UFC champion Islam Makhachev's team at UFC 322 on Saturday inside Madison Square Garden. The melee occurred cageside, moments before the start of the main card, which Makhachev headlined in a welterweight title fight against Jack Della Maddalena. Multiple videos showed Danis in a scuffle with Makhachev teammates Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov."
"Danis was in McGregor's corner in 2018, when McGregor lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in a UFC title fight in Las Vegas. The two camps engaged in a heated rivalry leading up to that fight, with McGregor making disparaging comments about Nurmagomedov's family and religion. Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor in their title fight, then famously jumped out of the Octagon to attack his corner."
The UFC has banned Dillon Danis from attending future events after his involvement in a cageside brawl at UFC 322 in Madison Square Garden. The incident occurred moments before the main card headlined by champion Islam Makhachev against Jack Della Maddalena, and videos show Danis scuffling with Makhachev teammates Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov. The promotion indicated it would not press criminal charges but has barred Danis from future UFC fights. Danis previously cornered Conor McGregor in 2018 during McGregor's title loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, a matchup that included a notorious Octagon jump and prolonged rivalry that has since cooled.
