Dillon Danis claims he’s paying Bellator for the right to go box KSI.<\/p>\n

Ten Jan. 14, Danis is set to make his long-awaited return to combat sports when he faces YouTube personality KSI in a boxing match. The former BJJ prospect and nascent MMA fighter has been sidelined for over three years while dealing with injuries, and he now makes his return to fighting in the squared circle. According to him, he’s making a king’s ransom to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m still the most relevant at 2-0, and I’m about to make the biggest bag out of anybody in MMA, active,\u201d Danis told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour<\/em>. \u201cI’m not going to say [how much], but it’s way more than anybody. Once it comes out, then you can see. It’ll come out. I’m telling you, I’m making more money than any UFC champion right now.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI’m 2-0 and I’m about to make more money than any guy in MMA right now,\u201d Danis continued later. \u201c100 percent… OK, Izzy [Israel Adesanya], because he gets the pay-per-view and things like that, it actually might be close to Izzy, and Conor’s not fighting right now. I’m telling you. I saw what Paulo [Costa] was supposed to make against [Robert] Whittaker [$70,000 show, $70,000 win], and that’s what I was getting in my first fight for Bellator. That’s nothing. It’s embarrassing. I got more than that in my first fight in Bellator.\u201d<\/p>\n
