Dillon Danis has claimed that he was "guaranteed" a fight with Jake Paul in the contract for his failed fight against his brother Logan.
Bellator fighter Danis, who makes his boxing debut against KSI next month, was in talks to fight Jake last year but the YouTuber-turned-boxer settled on another MMA star in Ben Askren. Danis insists that a term of his contract for fighting Logan guaranteed him a fight against Jake for "crazy money".
"[Me and Jake] were supposed to fight many times, I asked for an extra two months as I had a knee surgery. I was getting ready for my comeback and they were like 'you want to fight Logan then guarantee Jake for a crazy amount of money?'. But they wanted me to wait for him [Logan]," Danis said on The MMA Hour.
"He's a s*** bag to be honest, because he didn't update me on the fight and tell me he was doing wrestling. I wasted so much time because I wasted so much time as I thought I was going to fight him, he had me waiting when I could have came back already. That was the only thing that p***ed me off about him. Those guys are all fake."
Since knocking out Askren last March, Jake has picked up two wins over Tyron Woodley and most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva in his sixth professional fight. Danis praised Jake for his success in the ring but thinks it's "cheesy" that he is fighting people almost twice his age.

"Good for him because if it was me instead of Ben Askren, he would have never done this whole thing. I'm not the kind of guy that hates on people's success, good for him, he's doing what he does. It's just so cheesy how he's fighting Anderson, he's like 50 years old," Danis added.
Danis claimed he and Logan signed a contract for a fight and it was only scuppered once the WWE star injured his knee in a wrestling match. Paul disputed this claim in recent Instagram comment, claiming that while Danis had signed a contract for the fight, the deal was not done as he had not yet put pen to paper. "I never signed the contract," Paul wrote. "Dillon did. So no, it was not '100 per cent signed'."
