Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis

Danis gained a reputation for being Conor McGregor’s Jiu-Jitsu coach. However, he has not competed at a high level professionally. He has an MMA record of 2-0, with both fights under the Bellator promotion. Paul, on the other hand, also has not had a hugely successful boxing career.
