Dillon Danis appears to be happy to have received the ‘backing’ of Jon Jones after his latest defeat on the mat.

On Friday night, Danis was quickly tech falled by Arman Tsarukyan in a bitter grudge match to bring his RAF Wrestling record to 0-3. He has already been defeated within the distance by Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev, the latter landing what was the second-fastest finish in the promotion’s history.

Describe Dillon Danis’ career in one word.

Let us know what you think of the controversial grappling specialist below.

Danis is a renowned black belt in jiu-jitsu and an undefeated MMA fighter, but it seems that his crossovers into wrestling and boxing have not been fruitful. Even with his poor record, though, the New Yorker can draw a massive audience to his activities.

Jon Jones sends cheeky message to Dillon Danis after RAF defeat

For years, Dillon Danis has espoused that he would be able to easily defeat anyone from Jon Jones to Khabib Nurmagomedov in the cage. He has yet to taste defeat in MMA, but he has also fought just three times since making his debut in April of 2018.

His recent performances in RAF Wrestling have garnered more headlines for their chaotic build-ups and aftermaths, although he did manage to score a takedown on Colby Covington in one impressive turn. And his latest performance was enough to garner the attention of Jon Jones.

“Dennis congratulations on another dominating performance,” Jones wrote in a tongue-in-cheek comment on Instagram. “Way to not give it to them too easy… I know Mike Tyson is somewhere so proud of you. Absolute stud, America’s best.”
