After spending the last year relentlessly trolling Logan Paul, it looks like Dillon Danis has a new target.
The internet troll extraordinaire has recently found himself in the throws of a full-on flame war with former UFC fighter turned BKFC brawler Paige VanZant. Their fiery feud seemingly began during PVZ’s recent interview with Misfits Boxing ahead of her promotional debut on Saturday, May 25.
Scheduled to square off with reigning middleweight champion Elle Brooke in the MF & DAZN: X Series 15 headliner, VanZant was asked how she plans to make a successful transition to boxing after so many of her peers have failed to do so in their own attempts.
In her response, ’12 Gauge’ specifically singled out Dillon Danis, who delivered a downright embarrassing performance against Logan Paul last October.

“Dillon Danis is not a fighter. He’s not a fair comparison…[Ben Askren?] Not a fighter,” VanZant said. “He’s a wrestler. Nate Diaz is great…Jorge Masvidal…I think a lot of people try to compare my career to UFC veterans who leave the UFC because they either get cut or it’s the end of their career.
“I left the UFC when I was, gosh, 25…I wasn’t 40. I didn’t have a hundred fights under my belt. I was still young in the career and young in my sport.”
Needless to say, Dillon Danis didn’t take kindly to the insult and responded in short order. But instead of offering up the more traditional combat sports trash talk, he immediately made things personal, claiming that he had VanZant had an affair throughout their multiple trips to ‘Sin City.’

“How fast they forget! Haha, relax, Paigey baby, just because I didn’t wife you doesn’t mean you have to be petty. Don’t make me bring up our two trips to Vegas and ruin your marriage,” Danis wrote on X.
With the gloves officially off, Paige VanZant went scorched earth on the BJJ specialist, describing in detail their only interaction in Las Vegas.

“There’s a certain clown on Instagram named Dillon Danis trying to talk some sh*t and stir up some drama, so let’s f*cking go,” VanZant said. “Dillon, obviously I said you’re not a ‘real fighter.’ My bad. I triggered you. I understand I hurt your feelings. But instead of coming back and just talking sh*t about me, saying I’m not a real fighter, what did you do? You kinda f*cked yourself, right? You backed yourself into a corner because now you have to come up with proof of this alleged affair.
“The only time I ever remember seeing you in Las Vegas was at the UFC athlete retreat. You walked up to me in a bar, asked me to peg you in front of multiple other UFC fighters, and I laughed in your face. That’s not the definition of a relationship, is it? And stirring up drama on the internet to try and fight my husband, there are definitely better ways that you could handle that. He’s got three things you will absolutely never have: 1) a wife 2) friends and 3) a real MMA resume.
“So, Dillon, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, but when you’re a piece of sh*t like you are, it’s pretty f*cking easy.”
Dillon Danis Snaps Back in Scathing Response
Getting in on the act, VanZant’s husband, MMA fighter Austin Vanderford, suggested that he and Danis could settle their issues man-to-man, whether it be in a ring or a cage.
“Dillon, guy …,” Vanderford said on Instagram. “Let’s just fight. Paige’s comments seemed to upset you. We are the same weight. We can box or do whatever you want.”
Of course, anyone who knows Dillon Danis is well aware that he’s never content to walk away without the last word. Or just walk away in general. Responding to PVZ, the former Conor McGregor coach took things up a notch, attacking both her integrity and her husband’s status in their marriage.

“You’re crying in that video because you know I have receipts,” Danis replied. “You sell your arse hole and nasty botched tit job pics because you were a terrible fighter and have to support your deadbeat husband, a failed fighter turned OnlyFans cuck, who can’t even support you financially.
“You must have forgotten why I asked you to peg me because that stank p*ssy filled the room from all the Alpha Male gym members who’ve n*tted in you. Your husband isn’t with you because you’re special; he’s the only braindead cuck who said yes. You settled for him because I was just too smart to marry a whore.”
It’s safe to say that Dillon Danis has found himself another way to stay relevant.
