The outspoken grappler revealed that his longtime friend and mentor Conor McGregor gave him some last-minute advice: “stay calm, have fun, and trust your skills.” For Danis, who last fought in MMA back in 2019, the message was simple — don’t rush, let the fight unfold naturally, and secure the finish on his terms.Misfits Boxing Builds a Stacked Card
The Misfits Boxing card is being billed as one of its most exciting lineups yet. Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold makes his boxing debut against Darren Till. Ex-interim titleholder Tony Ferguson also steps into the ring with Salt Papi. Unlike the rest of the matchups, Danis’ showdown with Spencer will be contested under MMA rules — giving “El Jefe” the chance to showcase the jiu-jitsu that made him an IBJJF world champion.KSI’s Knockout Challenge
Adding intrigue, event co-founder KSI offered to double Danis’ purse if he wins by knockout. Danis countered with his own demand: if he scores the KO, KSI must fight him in an MMA bout. The tension only adds more eyes to a fight that already has plenty of storyline heat. As for Spencer, the UK prospect has only one professional win on his resume. He now steps into the cage against a submission specialist who has promised to “destroy his knees” and leave him hospitalized.How to Watch MF & DAZN X Series 22
