Bellator’s Danny Sabatello was recently fined a hefty five thousand dollars at Bellator 282. Sabatello won his 12th fight via unanimous decision against Leandro Higo and dropped the F-bomb in his post-fight interview. The Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation fined the Bellator bantamweight, but it didn’t seem to faze him.

In a recent interview with the renowned MMA reporter, Ariel Helwani, ‘The Italian Gangster’, showed no remorse for his action and claimed he didn’t care about the money.

For Sabatello, it is about being true to himself and his fans, and claimed he would probably cuss again if he fights there again. Sabatello told Helwani when asked about the fine, “That’s such f**king bulls**t. But you know what, I don’t care. If I fight there again, I’m telling you right now, I’m going to do the same s**t.”

He added, “You can keep f**king fining me. Nothing is going to deter me from being myself, and also, it wouldn’t do justice to the fans. I want the fans to understand exactly who they’re dealing with. That’s who I am. That’s my personality.”

Sabatello then went on to talk about how he doesn’t care about the $5000 dollars that the commission fined him. He said, “fine me. I don’t give a f**k. It’s just money anyways… Anybody can be a millionaire. Average people are millionaires. There’s only one best bantamweight in the f**king world though, and that’s what I’m chasing.” 

Danny Sabatello says he is glad he didn’t get the UFC contract from Dana White

Danny Sabatello was really close to being a part of the UFC but is glad things went the way they did for him. ‘ The Italian Gangster’ fought in the Dana White’s Contender Series Week 9 (2020) and picked up a unanimous decision win over Taylor Moore.
