PUERTO RICO: Logan Paul receives a stern warning as Mike Perry looms as a possible opponent.
Logan Paul has recently found himself on the receiving end of a strong warning concerning his upcoming match.
Should Dillon Danis opt out of their scheduled October bout, Mike Perry has been designated as a potential substitute, and the message is clear: Logan Paul ''doesn't want to f**k with Mike Perry.''
MMA Veteran Matt Brown weighs in on Logan Paul's upcoming bout
Dillon Danis, a prominent figure in the Bellator MMA, has cultivated a reputation in recent years more for his online provocations than his prowess in the octagon.
His notoriety stems from a series of decisions involving fight withdrawals and refusals during his four-year hiatus from competitive fighting.
In January 2020, Danis was poised for a return to the cage, but an unfortunate knee injury forced him out of action, sidelining him for an extended period.
This setback also cost him a highly anticipated boxing match against Logan Paul's younger brother, Jake, slated for April 2021.
In his most recent episode of fight-related drama, Danis had been scheduled to face KSI in January, only to withdraw from the bout citing difficulties in securing a coach for his corner.
This decision left fans disappointed and raised further questions about his commitment to competing.
Despite his track record of withdrawals and refusals, Danis has been afforded a final chance at redemption by Misfits Boxing, with a match against Logan Paul on the horizon for next month.
However, a significant caveat looms: Should Danis opt to skip the event, the formidable Mike Perry has been positioned as a replacement opponent, ensuring that the stakes remain high and the anticipation surrounding the bout continues to grow.
The world of combat sports eagerly awaits the outcome of this upcoming showdown.
MMA veteran Matt Brown has offered some compelling insights into the potential challenges Paul might face.
Brown suggests that Paul should be crossing his fingers that Danis shows up, as the alternative could prove to be a far tougher fight.
Speaking on MMAFighting's podcast, 'The Fighter vs The Writer', Brown expressed his belief that Paul might want to avoid tangling with Mike Perry.
Brown acknowledged that Perry may not be renowned for his boxing finesse, but he emphasized that Perry's fearless approach to combat makes him a formidable opponent.
“He comes forward and throws bombs. I just watched him versus [Michael ‘Venom’ Page] in bare knuckle the other day, and it was like he has no technique at all."
"He just walks forward and throws, and he doesn’t look good doing it at all, but it f****** gets the job done. He’s praying that Dillon Danis shows up.”
