The YouTube fanbase is hyped to see their favorite stars perform at the Misfits Boxing event. The event includes two main event fights, Tommy Fury vs. KSI and Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis. Despite the two main events, the bout between Paul and Danis will get close attention from many fans due to their bitter rivalry. In recent reports, Dillon was involved in training sessions with former middleweight champion Alex Pereira before his fight.
In the video online, Pereira and Danis had a light sparring session. Both fighters worked on their defense during the light spar. A session with a highly skilled kickboxer like Pereira could do wonders for Danis’s boxing skills. The fans were left surprised by this unusual collab. But, to make sense of it, one of the fans connected the dots and reached a conclusion. After signing with Prime, Israel Adesanya conducted a training session with the drink’s part owner, Logan Paul. Pointing this incident out, a fan commented on the video of Pereira with Danis, “Professional hater.“
Pereira shared an intense rivalry with Adesanya ever since their kickboxing days. ‘Poatan’ made a name for himself after defeating Adesanya on various occasions. Ever since then, many fans jokingly believed that Pereira tried to rival everything that Adesanya did. So, by training Danis, Pereira automatically chose the opposite side of Adesanya.
However, this all could be misconceptions but Danis can potentially become dangerous after training with ‘Poatan’. Additionally, in combat sports, Pereira is known as one of MMA’s most brutal knockout artists.
Fans react to Dillon Danis training with Alex Pereira
MMA fans were left baffled after seeing a collab between former middleweight champion Alex Pereira and BJJ fighter Dillon Danis. Many believe this was just Pereira’s hate attempt to rival Israel Adesanya’s Prime deal. Fans have left hilarious reactions to this possible misconception. Check out some of the best reactions.
‘Poatan’ has done what the world has surprisingly seen less of. Adesanya, who shared a concrete record of an undefeated MMA record in the middleweight division, was broken by his arch-rival, Pereira. Further, this glory kickboxer has done the same to him in his past kickboxing matchups as well. However, their most recent bout ended in Adesanya winning after knocking Poatan out in round 2.
