He had a ticket.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd they said, \u2018Do you want us to throw him out of here?\u2019 and I said, \u2018He has a ticket?\u2019 and they said, \u2018Yeah.\u2019 They told me that (former UFC fighter Jorge) Masvidal said he\u2019s going to f*** him up on sight. And I said, \u2018Where is Masvidal sitting?\u2019 and they said, \u2018Well, he\u2019s six or seven rows away from Masvidal.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo I said \u2018If the guy has a ticket, let him sit in his seat. Let him do what he\u2019s doing, but keep an eye on him.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement 5<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n WARNING: Language<\/p>\n Every shot landed on Dillon Danis was at the back of the head as he was being held back by security guards <\/p>\n Dana White blaming everything on Dilon shows how much of a pyssy the UFC president has become pic.twitter.com\/0nFAk0Rw9j<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Uncivilised One (@Sea2Sea1Way) November 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Advertisement 6<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Danis previously had been involved in beef from a 2018 fight between Makhachev\u2019s training partner, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Conor McGregor, who had been training with Danis at the time.<\/p>\n Danis was attacked by Nurmagomedov after the Dagestani fighter after having defeated McGregor via submission, kicking off a brawl in the cage and in the stands.<\/p>\n White said that it hadn\u2019t occurred to him that Danis and Makhachev\u2019s crews could go at it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt never even crossed my mind, as stupid as that could be, that the entire Muslim Brotherhood was here tonight in the first five rows for Islam (Makhachev).
