Grayson Waller recently shared a photo with a controversial MMA fighter who is currently undefeated.
Dillon Danis is one of the rising stars in the MMA world. He currently has an undefeated professional MMA record of 2-0 and is considered one of the rising prospects in the sport.
Danis couldn’t stay away from the controversies surrounding him. At UFC 229, he was part of Conor McGregor’s team during the latter’s fight against Kabib Nurmagomedov. Danis was constantly insulting Khabib during the fight, leading to the latter jumping the cage after his win over McGregor and brawling with McGregor’s team.
As a result of his actions, Danis was fined $7,500 for his actions and he was also suspended for seven months. Danis was also arrested in 2021 after he had an altercation with a nightclub bouncer in New Jersey. He was involved in another altercation at UFC 268 with MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz, which resulted in the former being kicked out of the building.
These controversies haven’t swayed Grayson Waller from the MMA perspective, however. Waller recently took to social media to share a photo he took with Dillon Danis.
“Everyone is trying to drive away our influence.”

Grayson Waller recently made his in-ring debut on the main roster
Although Waller was drafted to the main roster several weeks ago, he was primarily used for his Grayson Waller Effect talk show. He had not competed in the ring despite being a regular on WWE television.
That changed last week on SmackDown when Waller made his in-ring debut against Edge. Waller fell short against the Rated R Superstar but he showed the world he belonged in the ring against the Hall of Famer.
It will be interesting to see if this match against Edge will help Waller receive a push to the main roster.
