The Bellator middleweight took to Twitter to enumerate reasons why he thinks ‘The Problem Child’ doesn’t own any legitimate victories despite what his record says. The 27-year-old MMA fighter wrote:
Dillon Danis, of course, was referring to Paul’s set of opponents. ‘The Problem Child’ knocked out fellow YouTube celebrity AnEsonGib in his pro-boxing debut and did the same to retired NBA guard Nate Robinson in his second fight.
But Paul’s crowning achievement accomplishment came against former UFC welterweight Ben Askren. He shattered doubts that he could hang with bonafide pro-fighters when he scored a KO against the ex-Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight titleholder in less than two minutes.
Nonetheless, Danis said he’s unimpressed given all of Paul’s victories came against fighters without a legitimate striking pedigree. He added:
Dillon Danis wants Jake Paul
This isn’t the first time Dillon Danis has gone after Jake Paul on Twitter. The Bellator fighter challenged the former Disney teen actor following his victory over Askren. In a now-deleted tweet, Dillon Danis called Paul out and asked his camp to send over a contract for the fight.
Dillon Danis is mostly known as Conor McGregor’s longtime training partner. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace made his debut at Bellator 198, making Kyle Walker tap out in the first round. He last saw action against Max Humphrey at Bellator 222, scoring another submission win to improve his pro-MMA record to 2-0.
Jake Paul’s toughest test
Jake Paul will soon go through a litmus test as he’s set to face former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. While the 39-year-old MMA veteran is a wrestling-based fighter much like Askren, he possesses one-punch knockout power - something that Paul hasn’t had to deal with in his previous fights.
Woodley will come into the fight as a slight underdog. The Missouri-native hasn’t tasted victory since 2018, dropping four straight fights on his way out of the UFC. But he vowed to change that come August 28th:
