The rivalry between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis doesn’t seem to die off and both fighters frequently end up getting involved in verbal warfare. The fans are aware of the checkered history between the Paul brothers and the Bellator fighter that stretches a long back. While both factions have tussled and unleashed some choice of words toward each other, the feud between them took an ugly turn in New York.

The internet sensation in a dated conversation with comedian Andrew Schultz revealed tensions soared high in a chance encounter in New York. The situation escalated when one of Danis’s boys pulled a gun. However, the WWE star was not the target, it was aimed at Paul’s friend and podcast co-host Mike Majlak.

He said, “Here in New York one time, because you know Dillon, me and Jake and all have been beefing for some time… We were at a party, this was when Dillon was on crutches, one of his boys pulled a gun on Mike.”

Luckily, common sense prevailed instead of a hot-headed approach, and they avoided an ominous incident.

These comments again entered the public consciousness when Danis retweeted the same story recently. The professional wrestler suffered a second mental scar in a brief span after boxer Mike Tyson had a jarring warning for him.
