The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace has made some bold claims over the years despite not being offered a UFC contract.

I could beat Jon Jones. I could beat all these guys. Who\u2019s the \u201885 champ? I don\u2019t even know. \u2026 I would bet you every money in my bank account against your bank account that I would beat his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danis went on to reveal when he expects his next fight to be. He even threw a shot at another active UFC fighter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s December,\u201d Danis said of his potential next fight. \u201cI want to fight tomorrow. I\u2019m ready to fight, I didn\u2019t take any damage. I wish I could fight someone on the street or some shit. I want to fight so bad, I\u2019m ready to go. I\u2019m so pumped up. But if UFC comes around and they\u2019re like, \u2018Hey listen, we\u2019ll give you nice easy layup like Kevin Holland\u2019 or something, I\u2019ll do it.
