That summer, it was announced that Danis would face American YouTuber Logan Paul at X Series 10 – The Prime Card, fighting in the second main event. The fight took place in October at Manchester Arena in England.

Controversies

Danis has been the subject of many controversies due to his frequently brash and rowdy behavior. One of the most controversial incidents occurred in 2018 at UFC 229, where Danis got into a melee with fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov. Danis was a member of Conor McGregor's corner team at the event, and when Nurmagomedov threw his mouthpiece at McGregor's team and scaled the cage in an apparent attempt to jump on Danis, Danis retaliated by throwing punches at Nurmagomedov. This escalated into a full-blown brawl. For his part, Danis was fined $7,500 and suspended for seven months.

In early 2023, Danis generated controversy for allegedly accepting cash to promote cryptocurrency and NFT scams on his social media. He drew further controversy in the lead-up to his boxing match against Logan Paul in October when he kept sharing images of Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal on social media without her permission.
