Misfits Fans Can’t Comprehend Dillon Danis’ Win as Eddie Hall Steals Spotlight Despite KSI Callout

Hall, who weighed over 300 pounds compared to Danis’s approximate 170 pounds, verbally agreed to a future MMA bout, offering a bizarre but attention-grabbing setup given the vast weight disparity. Notably, the lightweight-heavyweight bout made history, marking the first time Misfits featured an MMA fight on the undercard. The action began with a brief exchange of jabs, during which Warren Spencer ducked into a clinch. Immediately, Danis locked onto his opponent’s neck, brought the fight to the floor, and spun into top position. Ultimately, the entire sequence lasted roughly 15 seconds, leaving many fans disappointed with the brevity of the contest.

Fans slam Misfits 22 as Dillon Danis’ victory labeled a “sh-t” fight

Dillon Danis’ reputation with fans has taken a hit, particularly following the events of UFC 229. During that bout, Danis’ aggressive behavior and repeated fouls provoked Khabib Nurmagomedov, culminating in the infamous moment when Nurmagomedov leapt out of the octagon. The incident cast a long shadow over Danis’ prospects for an MMA comeback. Dana White addressed the situation on the Full Send Podcast, stating:

“I have no beef with the kid at all, I’ve probably said two words to him in my whole life,” White explained. “But every time he’s around, s***’s going down. We can’t have that stuff going on here. A lot of people will see when guys get into it on stage or something starts to happen… No. No, we don’t love it.”

Despite the controversy, Danis’ close relationship with UFC matchmaker Hunter Campbell keeps him in the conversation. Still, his recent performance against Warren Spencer at Misfits 22 drew criticism from fans. One remarked, “What a sh-t fight,” while another questioned, “Why did Danis’ opponent hand his neck to Danis and push for a takedown?” A third fan commented, “Yeah mate, just gonna grapple a BJJ black belt, nothing will go wrong there,” underlining Danis’ dominance in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling.

The fight marked Danis’ first MMA appearance in six years, yet the bout failed to impress many spectators. Eddie Hall’s unexpected presence further stole the spotlight. The 300-plus-pound strongman had previously defeated Igor Michaliszyn via a quick knockout during his MMA debut in the super-heavyweight division. One fan quipped, “Dillon would sub Eddie as well,” highlighting Danis’ grappling prowess.

Some observers see Danis as a victim of circumstance, especially because KSI, the Misfits co-founder and YouTuber-turned-boxer, canceled his scheduled fight—this was his second canceled bout with KSI. One fan remarked, “Dillon doesn’t actually want this; hence why he went straight to KSI.” Regarding a potential matchup with Hall, another fan noted, “Eddie would probably win, but he should not strip all that weight; it would be a shame to get rid of it all.”

Sparking immediate comparisons among fans. One viewer commented, “There’s like a 230 pound difference.” Despite Hall’s size and raw power, Danis’ grappling and submission skills still position him as a credible threat in the cage.
