AUSTIN, TEXAS: Dillon Danis has been praised for his controversial feud with Logan Paul and Nina Agdal. As the highly-anticipated boxing match between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul inches closer, the feud between the two fighters has taken a dramatic turn, drawing attention from all corners.
In a surprising twist, popular podcast host Joe Rogan has commended Dillon Danis for his role as a "great troll" for repeatedly riling up Logan Paul and his fiance, Nina Agdal.
Joe Rogan's take on Danis' troll tactics
During a recent episode of the 'Joe Rogan Experience' featuring special guest Sean O'Malley, Rogan delved into the controversy surrounding the upcoming fight and offered his insights on Dillon Danis' unconventional promotional tactics.
"He's a great troll," Rogan remarked about Danis. "For a guy who... the last time he fought was in Bellator, like when? How long ago was that?"
O'Malley estimated, "Probably four or five years ago."
Rogan went on to assess Danis' skills, emphasizing his expertise as a grappler. He noted that while Danis excels on the ground, his boxing abilities may require improvement.
Drawing parallels to the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight, Rogan highlighted the financial incentive that enticed Askren, a former Olympic wrestler, into the boxing ring despite his lack of boxing experience.
"It's not like Dillon is an absolutely terrible striker," Rogan continued. "But he's not a striker. He's an elite grappler. His grappling is f**king amazing. I mean, he's really f**king good. On the ground, he's sensational. That kid has some serious jiu-jitsu. But he's not known for being a boxer."
“It’s like the Ben Askren situation, you know? Jake Paul offers you more money probably than he made in his entire UFC career for a boxing match after you’ve had a hip replacement. And you’re like, ‘F**k it, I’m in.”
Dillon Danis faces legal action over controversial social media feud with Logan Paul's fiancee
With the highly-anticipated showdown between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul just around the corner on October 14, tensions have escalated in an unexpected direction.
Danis, in a bid to promote the upcoming fight, has taken to social media to engage in a relentless war of words with Paul.
However, what began as standard pre-fight trash talk has evolved into a controversial feud that now involves Logan Paul's fiancee, Danish model Nina Agdal.
Following the announcement of Paul and Agdal's engagement, Danis embarked on a campaign of provocation by sharing photos of Agdal with other well-known individuals on Twitter and other platforms.
These posts insinuated that Agdal had engaged in intimate relations with these celebrities, alongside derogatory comments about her supposed "body count."
The feud escalated to such a degree that Nina Agdal took legal action against Dillon Danis. She filed a lawsuit against the fighter, alleging that he had posted explicit images and videos of her without her consent.
Agdal further claimed that some of these materials were obtained through a purported "hack" of her social media accounts. As a result of this legal action, Agdal was granted a restraining order against Danis.
The ongoing conflict between Danis and Agdal has added a layer of intrigue and controversy to the already highly publicized bout scheduled for October 14.
As fans eagerly anticipate the bout between Danis and Paul, the feud between the fighter and Paul's fiancee has made the fight even more 'anticipated' as fans are looking forward to the two fighters clashing hard to resolve their feud.
