Get ready, fight fans! Dillon Danis is set to defend his Misfits MMA title, and the stakes are higher than ever. This December, he’ll be facing Anthony Taylor in a match that promises to be explosive.
This announcement, made on Monday, confirms that Danis will put his title on the line at Misfits Mania, scheduled for December 20th at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
Danis, known as ‘El Jefe,’ earned the inaugural title with a stunning 15-second submission victory over Warren Spencer at Misfits 22 in August. This victory boosted his MMA record to 3-0 and marked his first win in the promotion. Before his MMA success, Danis stepped into the boxing ring against Logan Paul, where he suffered a disqualification in the sixth round due to unsportsmanlike conduct.
But here’s where it gets interesting… Anthony Taylor brings a wealth of experience to the table. With a 7-5 professional MMA record, he’s no stranger to the octagon. Taylor is returning to MMA after a 5-year hiatus, with his last victory being against Chris Avila at Bellator 238 in January 2020. The 36-year-old fighter is looking to rebound from a knockout loss to Darren Till in a boxing match at Misfits 20.
