The former MMA prospect, whose promising career in the sport was derailed by a knee injury four years ago, is set to box Logan Paul on the undercard ofDanis is primarily known for his elite-level submission skills, and already has his eyes on several opponents that could see him return to MMA after his fight with ‘The Maverick’.
The 30-year-old isn’t really interested in signing with the Professional Fighters League [PFL] unless they match him up with their biggest stars.
"I don't want to go to PFL, they're all losers. Listen, I'm getting older in age - I want to go tap f****** Islam [Makhachev] I want to go beat these guys,” Danis said. “It's now or never, I just turned 30, I'm willing to go and f****** go out there and see if what I'm saying is [true].” “If I go to the UFC give me your toughest fight, give me Ian Garry, give me anybody, give me Neil Magny. 170lb, anybody, Leon Edwards would be the easiest fight. I actually like Colby [Covington] but yeah Colby."While the promotion's president Scott Coker has allowed him to take a boxing bout with Paul, it’s unclear if he would be willing to let him take MMA fights with companies they consider rivals.
