Magomed Zaynukov has no regrets about brawling with Dillon Danis.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, \u201cChanco\u201d- or as he\u2019s become affectionately known to many fans, \u201cJohn Pork\u201d – was in attendance at Madison Square Garden in New York for UFC 322 to watch teammate Islam Makhachev challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title in the main event. But before that happened, Chanco and several other members of Makhachev\u2019s team got into a brawl<\/a> with Dillon Danis in the crowd, resulting in all parties being removed from the event. On Sunday, Chanco spoke about how the incident kicked off.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has to answer for everything that is said, and he allowed himself to do such things, posted, threw up all sorts of incomprehensible posts,\u201d Zaynukov told Ushatayka<\/a> (Russian translation via YouTube). \u201c\u2026 There was no time to think about anything. I flew in and hit him from the right; he fell, and then it all went on and on from there. \u2026 In the end, we were kicked out. It would have been better if we had watched the fight at home in the hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n While Chanco did not get into specifics about what Danis said or posted that set him off, the Misfits MMA champion has been a lightning rod for controversy throughout his career. Danis was famously sued by Nina Agdal, Logan Paul\u2019s wife, for comments made about her in the buildup to his boxing match with Paul, and it seems something similar occurred here, with Chanco and company looking to handle the issue personally, as opposed to in court.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t know him at all,\u201d Zaynukov said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know that he would be in the arena. I didn\u2019t think he\u2019d have the courage to come here like this. Maybe he didn\u2019t have enough attention and wanted some hype. For some people, it\u2019s probably just hype. But it\u2019s not for us. It\u2019s not hype. We seem to have different principles. \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cHe wrote about Islam, about Khabib. This is my team, these are my brothers, and I am always with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
