Dillon Danis has left fans concerned about yet another pullout after sending a cryptic tweet that he was "over this s***" just weeks out from his fight with Logan Paul.
The Bellator MMA star is due to box Paul in the co-headliner of KSI vs Tommy Fury at Manchester's AO Arena on October 14, but many have been concerned that he won't make it to fight night due to his history of missing fights. He was due to face KSI in January but with weeks to go opted not to appear citing improper preparation.
And with the build-up for his bout with Paul taking an ugly turn in recent weeks as he has continued to take aim at his rival's fiancee Nina Agdal, there has been a legal element added to proceedings. The fighter has been hit with a $150,000 lawsuit by Agdal, and fears he may have to spend a minimum of $400,000 in legal fees.
Last night, he gave fans the ultimate fright by tweeting a simple message that read "I'm over this s***. Peace." The tweet was viewed just under 20million times in 13 hours, and led many to report that he had pulled out of the fight, although Mirror Fighting understands that this is not the case.
Paul responded with an Instagram video of his own where he and two friends look down at the camera, seemingly reading the tweet. They then taunt Danis by calling him a "p****" and a "b**** boy".

Yesterday, Paul had shared a meme in which he offers Danis a red and a blue pill like The Matrix. The red one would see him "pull out, pay Logan $100,000, ruin his reputation forever, lose in federal court and declare bankruptcy." Meanwhile, the blue one would see him "fight and get KO'd by Logan, suffer major embarrassment, make some money and lose it all in federal court."
What do you make of Dillon Danis' latest social media outburst? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
The meme angered Danis, who wrote in response: "Logan doesn't want me to fight, which is why he's resorting to the law. He can't handle the truth or accept that I exposed Nina for who she is. A real man would want to handle it in the ring. Using lawsuits to flex doesn't make you tough; it just shows how much of a p**** you are.
"Logan Paul knows that if he loses to me, his career is over. He's doing everything in his power to prevent this fight from happening and will try to make it seem like it's my fault. Classic scam artist."
