Logan Paul Alleges Dillon Danis Will Take UFC To Court After MSG Brawl Involving Islam Makhachev

After the chaotic brawl at UFC 322 in New York City — where Danis was attacked by members of Islam Makhachev’s team — Danis is reportedly preparing a lawsuit against the UFC and Madison Square Garden (MSG). The altercation, which occurred inside MSG before the main card, left Danis with injuries severe enough for him to withdraw from a scheduled fight.

Fellow combat‑sports figure Logan Paul has publicly predicted Danis “is very likely gonna sue them — and probably win.” Paul argues that Danis has grounds to claim damages because the attack was unprovoked, unexpected, and occurred despite security presence.

The brawl itself was sparked by an AI‑generated video Danis posted, which depicted provocative, doctored images involving Makhachev — content that deeply offended Makhachev’s team. The video’s circulation heightened tensions leading up to the event, and many observers argue the promotion failed to prevent the fallout.

In response to Danis’s involvement, UFC President Dana White announced that Danis is permanently banned from future UFC events. While no criminal charges have been filed, the incident has drawn the attention of the NYPD, which is reportedly investigating the melee.

Danis’ camp claims the incident derailed his scheduled bout and left him with lingering injuries — including a concussion — which they contend entitles him to seek damages.

As fans and insiders await legal filings, the case promises to test the boundaries of liability in combat sports: can a fighter sue a promotion and venue over a spectator‑area fight they were drawn into? For Danis, it may depend on proving negligence — or whether the chaos was inevitable given the pre‑existing tension.
