Dillon Danis makes “save the day” offer to fight KSI days after pulling out

Dillon Danis has offered to "save the day" by coming back to his cancelled fight with KSI, so long as the bout is made an official professional event.

Bellator MMA fighter Danis this week made waves when he pulled out of fighting the YouTube star on just 10 days' notice, with the reason from promoters being that he was "underprepared". The jiu-jitsu black belt had never boxed before and bragged of having no team just weeks prior to the event.

However, taking yet another page from his close friend and teammate Conor McGregor's playbook, Danis tweeted and quickly deleted an offer to return to the fight. He claimed that he would be willing to step back in and replace Faze Temperrr, the replacement opponent, if organisers can get the bout sanctioned by an official commission.
