White explains Danis UFC ban: 'We don't need that aggravation'

Dana White explained why Dillon Danis is not welcome at UFC events: in his experience, every time the fighter shows up somewhere, a fight breaks out. Danis lost to Arman Tsarukyan 10-0 at Real American Freestyle 14 on Oct. 23 in Las Vegas, and the bar traces back to the brawl at UFC 322 in November 2025.

Ser a atração principal em outro lugar não impressiona Dana White. O chefão do UFC deixou isso claro ao explicar por que Dillon Danis não é bem-vindo nos eventos da organização.

Danis encarou Arman Tsarukyan na luta principal do Real American Freestyle 14, em 23 de outubro, em Las Vegas, e perdeu o combate de wrestling por superioridade técnica, 10-0, com confusões antes e depois do duelo.

Na entrevista coletiva após o UFC 333, em Abu Dhabi, White foi questionado sobre Danis receber posição de destaque em outras organizações. Ele respondeu a partir da própria experiência. “Que diferença isso faria para mim?”, disse White. “O que acontece é que, na minha experiência, toda vez que o Dillon Danis aparece em algum lugar, sai uma briga. Então, depois da última, é simplesmente: não precisamos desse desgaste aqui.”

A régua remonta a uma briga no UFC 322, em novembro de 2025, envolvendo membros do time de Khabib Nurmagomedov. Danis foi retirado do Madison Square Garden pela segurança depois da cena, que também envolveu Abubakar Nurmagomedov e Magomed Zaynukov.

White havia anunciado então que Danis ficaria afastado de futuros cards do UFC; as declarações mais recentes reiteraram o motivo.
