Dillon Danis bails on Mike Perry fight; former UFC fighter replaces him
Dillon Danis has withdrawn from his scheduled fight against Mike Perry due to an injury, leading to Brandon Jenkins stepping in as a replacement. The event is set to take place this weekend at the Kia Center in Orlando.
Why it matters
This reflects the volatility of professional combat sports scheduling and the impact of last-minute roster changes on event promotion.
It's deja vu all over again. Dillon Danis won't be fighting this weekend against Mike Perry.
Perry (15-8) announced at a pre-fight news conference Thursday that he'll instead be fighting former UFC fighter Brandon Jenkins (17-11) at Duel Arena 1 at Kia Center in Orlando, Fla.
"Let's not beat around the bush," Perry said. "This p*ssy-ass b*tch Dillon Danis didn't show the f*ck up. He's not here. He backed the f*ck out because he's a p*ssy."
Shortly after the news broke, Danis posted a video of what appears to be his arm with a massive laceration, and a skin flap being stitched up. He did not provide any further details as to how this injury occurred.
