Dillon Danis reminded the world just how dangerous he may be in a recent interview-turned-sparring session ahead of his fighting return.
The renowned jiu-jitsu black belt has been a figure of derision within the MMA world for the past few years, fighting only once in a losing boxing effort against Logan Paul two years ago. He was battered and eventually disqualified in that farcical contest, and his two comeback fights this yr were cancelled.
But along with his return to full MMA competition against Warren Spencer on August 30 upcoming, he showed commentator Wade Plemons just how deadly his grappling may be. He is ready to face Spencer, an influencer boxer, in the primary ever MMA bout to be held on a Misfits Boxing card later this month.
Dillon Danis brutalizes Wade Plemons as he shows off skills in sparring session
In a brand new video for Wade Plemons’ YouTube channel The WADE Concept, after interviewing Dillon Danis the commentator was asked to place his fighting skills to the test. The social media star won his first skilled boxing match this yr, but has never grappled and even laced up MMA gloves.
Danis in a short time showed the degrees, insisting that he was glad to point out off his entire skillset given the extent of opponent he might be facing in Spencer. The pair engaged in what was a comically low-octane spar for the black belt, while also being a fight for Plemons’ life.
Danis showed the convenience with which a top grappler can get a novice, perhaps like his opponent Spencer, to the bottom even once they are big and athletic. At one point he even spanked Plemons as they moved for position.
Ultimately, the pair did a pair of sunshine rounds by which Danis hardly broke a sweat. He noted that he can be training properly later that day, and congratulated Plemons on having the ability to hang in with someone at his level of grappling.
Wade Plemons faked neck injury in cringe-inducing video promotion
Before the discharge of Plemons’ interview and sparring video with Danis, the pair engaged in a cringeworthy fake feud to hype the project. The commentator wore a comical Andy Kaufman-style neck brace as he complained of neck injuries that were proved to be non-existent.
Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor played into the gimmick, insisting that Danis can be punished appropriately for his actions. Spencer even got involved, claiming at one point the fight was off, only to have that quickly shut down.
“Sorry y’all but you already know if I used to be coming back to Misfits I needed to bring a little bit of the WWE with me,” Plemons said in a video making light of his promotional tactic. “Within the business we call that… A piece. See you on August thirtieth.”
