We may have seen the last of Dillon Danis in the Bellator cage and never even known it at the time.
According to Bellator president Scott Coker, Danis’ future is a mystery.
“Dillon is a kid we had a lot of high hopes for,” Coker said at the Bellator 285 post-fight press conference. “He’s super-talented, jiu-jitsu fighter, but he’s got to stay active, and he’s got to want to come back. He calls me, he wants to come back, and then sometimes, I don’t hear from him for months. If he’s really serious about coming back, we’ll definitely have a spot for him, and we’ll definitely make an opportunity for him.”
It’s been three years since Danis has fought. Both of his two Bellator appearances have ended in first-round submissions but he’s been injured, dealing with an arrest, and is apparently otherwise uninterested in fighting.
