CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul's restaurant outing with a mystery woman sparks controversy.
Logan Paul, the popular YouTuber and influencer, has once again found himself at the center of controversy after being spotted dining with a mystery woman at a restaurant.
The incident unfolded following Paul's highly publicized boxing match with Dillon Danis, who took to social media to share a snapshot of the encounter, suggesting an illicit affair.
Dillon Danis' post-match trolling
Dillon Danis, who faced Logan Paul in an eagerly awaited influencer boxing bout on October 14, 2023, has continued to stoke the flames of their rivalry despite his recent loss.
He posted a picture of Logan Paul in a restaurant, with another woman entering right after him, and wrote, "That doesn’t look like Nina buddy, thought she was the love of your life??"
The match, which marked Danis' professional boxing debut, ended after a dramatic turn where Danis attempted an unsuccessful takedown and guillotine choke, before inciting a brawl that led to his disqualification.
In the wake of this defeat, Danis hasn't shied away from online trolling, recently sharing a photograph of Logan Paul alongside a woman who is not his fiancee, Nina Agdal. The insinuation of an affair promptly ignited a social media storm.
However, Paul's 'Impaulsive' co-host Mike Majlak was quick to clarify that the woman in question was his own girlfriend, dispelling any suspicions of impropriety, as he joked in the comments, "And even worse with MY girlfriend when i went to the bathroom for 30 seconds. i am MAD at Logan rn "
One user wrote, "It’s getting boring now man. He won, be a man and let it go," while another wrote, "Looks like Logan is the love of your life with the amount of times you talk about him."
A third person wrote, "Brother still talking to the same guy after not throwing a punch during his entire fight with him…"
Dillon Danis, despite no longer being linked to a potential rematch with Logan Paul, shows no signs of letting their feud fade into the background.
His pre-match buildup was marked by a relentless smear campaign, often targeting Nina Agdal, which led to legal consequences as Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis and secured a temporary restraining order.
As Danis navigates the aftermath of these events, his chances of securing another influencer boxing match have diminished significantly. With a disqualification for attempting illegal moves and inciting a brawl in his bout with Paul, and a prior withdrawal from a matchup with KSI, his future in the world of influencer boxing remains uncertain.
The big question now looms: will Dillon Danis pursue a career in UFC?
Danis' release from Bellator MMA
In a surprising turn of events, Ariel Helwani, a renowned sports journalist, took to Twitter to announce that Bellator MMA had officially released Dillon Danis from his contract.
Helwani wrote, "Dillon Danis is a free agent. Bellator officially released Danis this weekend, sources say."
This announcement came in the wake of Danis' public campaign to secure a contract with the UFC, a move that could potentially revive his fighting career.
Danis tweeted, days after losing to Paul, "I’m ready to fight @danawhite let’s do this."
It's unclear whether the UFC will express interest in signing Danis, but the promotion has previously shown mild interest in former Bellator fighters, such as Michael 'Venom' Page, whom UFC President Dana White recently discussed.
The story of Dillon Danis continues to unfold, keeping fans and followers eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the controversial influencer's career.
