[Photo] Magomed Zaynukov takes hilarious dig at Dillon Danis while posing with Jorge Masvidal

Magomed Zaynukov has been making quite a lot of noise in recent months. Islam Makhachev’s training partner is now a full-time member of the UFC after winning his Dana White’s Contender Series fight in October.

Zaynukov was with Makhachev throughout the new welterweight champion’s fight camp. He was also in the crowd for UFC 322, where he played a huge part in one of the biggest talking points.

‘Wild Chanco’ was one of the people involved in a huge brawl before the UFC 322 main event. Dillon Danis seemed to be the catalyst for this, something that Dana White alluded to after the event finished.

Zaynukov was seen punching Danis a few times during the brawl. Later, the Russian posted a photo alongside former UFC star Jorge Masvidal.

‘Gamebred’ also had some beef with Danis coming into UFC 322, and the pair seemed to hit it off. Zaynukov’s photo highlighted his bloodied knuckles, possibly from the brawl, and it included a photo of a bleeding Danis.

Danis was part of another huge brawl involving the Russians. It took place at UFC 229 after Conor McGregor lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov. It was Islam Makhachev, who reportedly beat up Danis on that day.

Dana White bans Dillon Danis from UFC events

Dana White took immediate steps to deal with Dillon Danis’ brawl at UFC 322. The UFC president addressed the media after the event and took the blame for the scrap taking place.

White allowed Danis to stay at the event despite the latter moving about and not sitting in his allotted seats.

After the brawl started, White knew that it was mostly Danis’ doing and banned him from future UFC events.

“You will never see Dillon Danis at the UFC fight again...You will never see him in another fight.”

White, however, did not press charges against Danis but shouldered some of the blame for the clash.

“They called me downstairs and they said ‘We got him, do you want to press charges and have him arrested?’ And I said ‘No, I don’t want to press charges.’ This is the fight business man, you know how I feel about this sh**. I could have prevented this tonight and I messed up.”
