Dillon Danis is OUT of his main event fight against Mike Perry this weekend in Orlando, Fla. Perry dropped the bomb himself during Thursday’s Duel Arena 1 pre-fight press conference, and the frustration was palpable. This fight was supposed to headline the card at Kia Center.
Perry Unleashes On Danis, New Challenger Steps Up
Mike Perry didn’t hold anything back when he announced the news. “Let’s not beat around the bush. This p*ssy ass b*tch Dillon Danis didn’t show the f*ck up,” Perry told reporters. “He’s not here. He backed the f*ck out because he’s a p*ssy.” You gotta love that raw energy from “Platinum,” right? It rips through the screen. But huge props go to former UFC fighter Brandon Jenkins, who’s stepping in to face Perry on just 48-hours notice. Perry gave him a shoutout, saying Jenkins was “getting on a plane right now” and flying to weigh in “like a professional” for Saturday night’s fight. That’s a true fighter mentality right there, taking a headliner on basically no notice!
Is Danis’s Flakiness Becoming a Pattern?
Honestly, Danis pulling out of fights isn’t exactly new. He last fought in MMA back in August 2025, when he beat Warren Spencer at Misfits 22. This year alone, he’s had freestyle wrestling matches against Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev. Plus, he’s already booked to fight Arman Tsarukyan for the inaugural RAF Middleweight Crossover Championship on October 3, 2026, at RAF 14. You have to wonder what’s going on, especially when a guy like Jenkins is willing to jump in on such short notice.
What’s Next for Perry and Jenkins?
So now, it’s Mike Perry versus Brandon Jenkins, headlining the fight card this Saturday night. Jenkins last saw action under the Most Valuable Promotion’s banner back in May on the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano card, where he defeated Chris Avila via split decision. He’s coming in hot, and with Perry’s intensity, this could be an absolute barn burner. Get ready for Saturday, because this one just got a whole lot more interesting!
