Dillon Danis shares list of people banned from UFC 328, including legendary heavyweight

Dillon Danis will not be allowed to attend UFC 328 this weekend. As it turns out, he’s not the only notable fighter who is barred from the event.

UFC 328 goes down in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday. The main event will see undefeated middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev take on former champ Sean Strickland. It is one of the most intense grudge matches we’ve seen in years, and security personnel will have their hands full with the two headliners, as well as their teams. Evidently, they do not want any other agitators gaining access to the event and making their jobs more difficult.

That includes Danis, a decorated BJJ practitioner and training partner of Conor McGregor. On Friday, the former Bellator fighter shared an image showing a list of people who will not be allowed to attend UFC 328. He is joined on the list by streamer Sneako, and legendary UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt.

It’s no surprise Danis won’t be welcome at this weekend’s card. He has been involved in multiple brawls at UFC events in the past. Most notably, he sparked a violent incident with Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team in 2018.

New Zealand’s Hunt once fought for the interim heavyweight title, and has fought many of the best heavyweights of all time. He has never been involved in any troubling incidents at UFC events. However, he was involved in a highly publicized lawsuit against the UFC, stemming from Brock Lesnar’s use of banned substances in their meeting at UFC 200. Evidently, their relationship is beyond repair.
