Dillon Danis permanently barred from UFC events after New York fight chaos, Dana White says

UFC fighter Michael Chandler hints to 'expect the unexpected' at the White House fight for America's 250th anniversary on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

The UFC has decided on a punishment following Saturday's clash between Dillon Danis and multiple members of Islam Makhachev's team.

Danis previously trained with mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor, while Makhachev is a UFC champion. Both attended UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

UFC CEO Dana White revealed that Danis will be barred from attending future events sanctioned by the organization.

White later told reporters that he did not intend to press charges against Danis, but hinted at disciplining the 32-year-old fighter in another fashion.

"I was on the other side [of the Octagon] and go, 'F---, I know exactly what this is,'" White said in a post-fight news conference. "You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again."
