Users on X were outraged by the horrific video. One wrote: ‘The fact they recorded it and proceeded to say ‘worldstar’ make this even more disgusting.
‘At least they have already provided evidence for this case. Hope the kid doing the chokehold and the camera man get prison time.’
Recently Danis, perhaps best known for his role in the post-fight brawl between the corner teams of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, has been embroiled in a war of words with UFC fighter turned OnlyFans model Paige VanZant.
VanZant took to Instagram earlier this month to directly fire back at Danis, as the former submission grappler shared a post on X barely 24 hours earlier, revealing that he can ‘ruin’ her marriage by bringing up ‘two trips to Vegas’ after she claimed that he isn’t a ‘real fighter’ during an interview for her upcoming Misfits boxing match against Elle Brooke.
The 30-year-old VanZant was alluding to Danis on Wednesday when asked about her transition from MMA to boxing. Danis boxed once against American YouTuber Logan Paul in October 2023 and lost by disqualification.
