MMA fighter Dillon Danis vehemently denies viral photos allegedly showing him snorting a white substance, asserting they are fake because the man in the images lacks his distinctive tattoos. He also clarifies the photos are unrelated to his recent fight withdrawal.
Dillon Danis, the outspoken MMA fighter, has publicly refuted viral photos circulating online that purportedly show him snorting a white substance. Speaking to TMZ Sports, Danis declared the images are 'not me' and are entirely fake, citing a glaring inconsistency: the individual in the photos does not possess his numerous tattoos. He emphasized, 'anyone presenting them as authentic images of me is spreading false information.' The photos began to gain traction after Danis withdrew from his August 29 fight against Mike Perry due to a severe arm injury, leading some to speculate a connection. Danis firmly dismissed this narrative, stating his fight withdrawal had no relation to the photos or the accompanying rumors. He explained that injuries are a part of combat sports, having posted graphic footage of the wound that forced him off the card. Mike Perry, his original opponent, went on to dislocate his own shoulder and lose by TKO against replacement Brandon Jenkins. Danis is no stranger to controversy, having previously been banned from UFC events by Dana White after a cageside brawl at UFC 322 last November. His bottom line remains clear: 'Those photos are not me.'
