Dillon Danis could soon have the opportunity to settle his beef with a prominent member of Team Khabib.<\/p>\n

Danis, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, has been feuding with Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s squad for years. It started when he helped Conor McGregor prepare for his infamous 2018 fight with Nurmagomedov, but has escalated further in recent years. The most recent incident occurred when he got into a brawl with Team Khabib representative Magomed \u201cChanco\u201d Zaynukov \u2014 also known affectionately as \u201cJohn Pork\u201d \u2014 at UFC 322.<\/p>\n

Because Danis competes in several combat sports outside the UFC, and Chanco is signed to the MMA promotion, there\u2019s no chance of them settling their beef in the Octagon. However, an Armenian promotion called Hype FC is offering them the chance to do so on the grappling mats.<\/p>\n

Hype FC recently announced that Danis had been signed to their roster. The BJJ star doesn\u2019t have an opponent for his debut yet, but a recent Instagram post from the promotion suggested a grudge match with Chanco \u2014 with \u201crecord amounts of money\u201d on the line.<\/p>\n

Dillon Danis offered huge payday to fight Team Khabib staple<\/p>\n

\u201cDillon Danis will perform at Hype Armenia in his homeland,\u201d the post stated (translation via MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cWhich of the top is ready to oppose him? Did you know that Dillon is part Armenian?\u201d<\/p>\n

It then went on to suggest the matchup with Chanco, who unlike most members of team Khabib, is a Muay Thai specialist rather than a grappler. Meaning he\u2019d be at a huge disadvantage against Danis in a grappling match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer the solution for this conflict in the grappling match in neutral zone in Armenia at the stadium HYPE FC event,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

The post also specified the bout would involve \u201crecord amounts of money for grappling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would you like to see Danis and Chanco settle their score on the grappling mats?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dillon Danis could soon have the opportunity to settle his beef with a prominent member of Team Khabib.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,785,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-414977","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-mma","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
