With Suspension Coming to a Close, Dillon Danis Booked for Bellator 221

It was revealed yesterday on ESPN that jiu-jitsu’s most polarizing athelte, Dillon Danis, will be entering the cage again at Bellator 221.

It's been just over two weeks since it was announced that Danis had been suspended for seven months by the Nevada State Athlete Commission for his involvement in the Mcgregor-Nurmagomedov brawl at UFC 229, but the sentence began retroactively from the date of the incident, meaning his suspension ends just days before his fight in May.

Currently 1-0, Danis will be taking on  Max Humphrey (3-2) in a 175-pound catchweight fight.
