Dillon Danis, the undefeated Bellator fighter, took a dig at the surging UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev. The 28-year-old mixed martial artist is currently inactive in his professional career. He has competed in two Bellator fights and won both via a submission. Danis has recently undergone knee surgeries and is out of action since 2019.

However, this is not the case in his social media accounts. The Bellator fighter is quite active on social media. And despite being out of action, Danis keeps calling out several other fighters on the internet. He also gets involved in Twitter wars with various fighters. The most recent is his feud with famous MMA journalist Ariel Helwani.

Meanwhile, ‘Borz’ is yet to respond to the callout. The Chechen star is an undefeated fighter with a professional record of 10-0 under his name. He made his UFC debut in 2020.

With no losses in the promotion, ‘Borz’ has finished all of his four opponents, three in the very first round of the fight. He recently delivered a dominant performance at UFC 267, securing a first-round finish. Ever since then, the Russian-born is waiting for his next opponent.
