Logan Paul claims gun was drawn during altercation with rival Dillon Danis

Logan Paul claims that a friend of Dillon Danis' drew a gun on his podcast co-host during an altercation at a New York night club.

There's a deep and long-running feud between Danis, a close friend and training partner of Conor McGregor, and the Paul brothers Jake and Logan. At one stage, it appeared the jiu-jitsu specialist was set to face the younger sibling; Jake, on the debut of Triller Fight Club, but he ultimately pulled out with injury and Ben Askren was chosen instead.

And Logan, who banned Danis from attending his 2019 fight in Los Angeles with KSI, has now explained that his pal Mike Majlak, who co-hosts his show Impaulsive, allegedly had a gun pulled on him during a meeting in a night club. Danis was injured at the time, but no date was given for the incident.

“He’s one of the best jiu-jitsu guys in the world actually,” Paul said of Danis during an appearance on the Flagrant podcast . “Here in New York one time, because you know Dillon, me and Jake and all have been beefing for some time… We were at a party, this was when Dillon was on crutches, one of his boys pulled a gun on Mike.”

Danis was once attacked by the younger Paul brother during a taping of former UFC star Brendan Schaub's show Food Truck Diaries in California. Then just 2-0 as a professional, Paul pulled up to the taping and threw toilet paper at Danis before driving off with the fighter in pursuit.

And it now appears that the feud between the Pauls and Danis will get a conclusion, as Logan looks to finally put their rivalry to bed. He insists that he will offer the Bellator MMA fighter, who hasn't competed since 2019, a mega-money contract for the pair to fight.

He told True Geordie during a recent podcast appearance: "I'm going to piece up Dillon Danis. Everyone would love that, that dude is the gum that sticks to the bottom of your shoe when you walk down the street, that dude sucks.

"I'm going to shut his a** up, he'll talk about getting in the ring with me, he'll do his talking online that will get a little attention. But the moment you sign that contract, the moment that you're in the ring across from me the story's going to change a little bit. It's much scarier than he thinks, he's going to get hit with a shot where he wakes up and realises 'oh f***, I've made a grave error'."

"Bro, I won't be in there for more than four rounds," Paul later added of the prospective fight, sending a warning to any other potential opponents. "I'm going to feel him out a little bit and then it won't be more than a few rounds.

"We'll attempt to make this fight, I will give him an offer and he will probably be like 'this is not what I'm worth, blah blah blah'. Yeah it is bucko, you're not even worth that because I will find someone.

"I will find a person who will sign on the dotted line, I will make that someone extremely f***ing rich and famous for the rest of their life. Sure, it will be incredibly embarrassing, you'll get Tyron Woodley'd and you're going to be a meme."
