Their latest meeting in Helwani‘s show, ‘The MMA Hour’ started on a bizarre note. Dillon Danis refused to shake Helwani‘s hand, despite the latter insisting on it. The move from Danis made the two talk about their disagreements in the past. While Dillon didn’t agree that he did anything that could have hurt Helwani. The MMA Journalist reminded Danis how once came up to him with three “paid” men.

Ariel Helwani didn’t shy away and called Danis a “liar“. He even went on to call his guest a “b**ch”. Danis had last fought in 2019. He was recently in the news after Nate Diaz got in a scuffle with him outside MSG after UFC 281.
