Absolute mayhem unfolded at UFC 322.
Amid the wild fighting inside the octagon, another fight broke out cage-side.
Training partner and jiu-jitsu world champion Dillon Danis got into a wild brawl with members of Saturday’s main event headliner team, Islam Makhachev.
Danis took several punches to the back of the head that appeared to be thrown by Magomed Zaynukov during the exchange, while UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell, among other security officials, attempted to break up the spat.
Danis had to be apprehended by security.
One of his red shoes was even sent flying, which he appeared to retrieve at the end of the altercation.
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, cousin of UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, appeared to be involved in the chaos as well.
There has been a long-standing beef between these two parties.
Danis has previously been a training partner of UFC star Conor McGregor.
After McGregor was submitted by Khabib at UFC 229, Khabib ripped his mouthguard out and threw it at Danis, before jumping over the fence and igniting an infamous brawl that was absolute chaos as well.
McGregor and Danis were in-part antagonists of the beef, which also involved the many members of the Nurmagomedov family, Makhachev, and even agents of the two fighters.
Danis is not a UFC fighter; rather, he’s been fighting for regional promotions in an attempt to get a shot at the UFC.
He previously told The Post that he was in constant contact wth the UFC about coming to the promotion.
Danis, 2-0, won by submission in August against Warren Spencer, finishing him in the first round with a guillotine choke.
