Former UFC fighter-turned-adult content star Paige VanZant has claimed Dillon Danis once asked her to “peg” him.
Controversial MMA fighter Danis sparked another feud this week, claiming he could “ruin” VanZant’s marriage by bringing up “two trips to Las Vegas.” It came after VanZant claimed he is not a “real fighter” during an interview ahead of her upcoming Misfits Boxing match against Elle Brooke.
VanZant’s husband of six-years, Austin Vanderford, called out Danis with a fight offer following his fellow Bellator star’s accusations. And now VanZant, 30, has hit back at Danis, 34, by addressing his allegations with a recorded video of herself on Instagram.

She said on Thursday: “Yo, it has come to my attention that there is a certain clown on Instagram by the name of Dillon Danis, trying to talk some s*** and starting some drama. So let’s f***ing go, right?!
“So, Dillon… obviously I said ‘’you’re not a real fighter.’ My bad if I triggered you. I understand that hurt your feelings. But, instead of coming back and just talking s*** about me, saying I’m not a real righter, uhm, what did you do…

“You kind of f***ed yourself right? You backed yourself into a corner because now you have to come with proof of this alleged affair right? Because the only time I ever remember seeing you in Vegas was at the UFC athlete retreat. You walked up to me at a bar, asked me to peg you in front of multiple other UFC fighters and I laughed in your face.
“That’s not the definition of a relationship, is it? And starting drama on the internet, trying to fight my husband, there’s definitely better ways you can handle that. Ugh, he has three things that you will absolutely never have. One, a wife. Two, friends. And three, a real MMA resume so Dillon, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings but when you’re a piece of s**t like you are, it’s pretty f***ing easy. Have a good one!”

Danis, who first shot to fame as Conor McGregor’s trash-talking grappling partner, is well known for his erratic social media persona. He was involved in the infamous melee at UFC 229 back in 2018, where he fought it out with Khabib Nurmagomedov outside of the Octagon after the Dagestani had comprehensively beaten McGregror.
He also caused uproar on social media last year ahead of his boxing match with Logan Paul by continuously sharing past images of Paul’s fiance Nina Agdal alongside other men, which resulted in her getting a temporary restraining order against him.
