Who Is Dillon Danis? About the Ex-Mixed Martial Artist Amid UFC Fight – Hollywood Life

Who Is Dillon Danis? About the Ex-Mixed Martial Artist Amid UFC Fight – Hollywood Life

Dillon Danis made headlines again in November 2025, but not for a planned fight. The 32-year-old ex-MMA fighter, pro boxer and submission grappler got into a cageside brawl at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and as a result, he was banned by the UFC.

This wasn’t the first public problem that Danis has been involved in. The New Jersey native has an arrest record in addition to a previous restraining order against him.

Here, Hollywood Life breaks down everything we know about Danis, his fighting career and personal life.

Dillon Danis Worked With Conor McGregor

Danis was asked to be a coach and training partner for Conor McGregor in 2016 ahead of the latter’s rematch against Nate Diaz. It was then that Danis became a well-known name in the MMA community, as he continued to work with McGregor for future fights.

In November 2023, Danis announced his retirement from professional fighting.

Dillon Danis Was Banned by UFC Over a 2025 Cageside Fight

In November 2025, Danis got into a heated brawl at New York City’s MSG during UFC 322 against the teammates of Islam Makhachev. Quite a few members of security were needed to break up the fight, and UFC President Dana White explained what happened after the fact.

“I blame myself for that [brawl], actually,” White told reporters, according to multiple outlets. “They came back and told me right before I walked out for the main card that Dillon Danis was here and he was moving around, sitting in fighters’ seats and not sitting in his own seat that he had. He had a ticket. And they said, ‘Do you want us to throw him out of here?’ and I said, ‘He has a ticket?’ and they said, ‘Yeah.’”

Danis’ brawl with the others stemmed from past beef he had from a 2018 match between Makhachev’s training partner, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and McGregor.

“They told me that [ex-UFC fighter] [Jorge] Masvidal said he’s going to f**k him up on sight,” White added while speaking to reporters. “And I said, ‘Where is Masvidal sitting?’ and they said, ‘Well, he’s six or seven rows away from Masvidal.’ So, I said ‘If the guy has a ticket, let him sit in his seat. Let him do what he’s doing, but keep an eye on him.’ It never even crossed my mind, as stupid as that could be, that the entire muslin brotherhood was here tonight in the first five rows for Islam. As soon as it broke out, I was over to the side and I said, ‘F**k I know exactly what that is.’”

White then revealed that the UFC had the option to press charges against Danis, but White chose not to.

“So, they call me from downstairs and they said, ‘We got him down here, do you want to press charges and have him arrested?’ And I said, ‘No, we don’t want to press charges. This is the fight business man,’” White said. “You know how I feel about this s**t. I could have prevented this tonight.”

Dillon Danis Is a Father: How Many Children He Has

Danis announced the birth of his son in August 2023, though the ex-fighter never revealed the identity of the child’s mother.

Dear Dharmendra Sir, Fight Hard & Let Us All Feel Ashamed That We Waited For Someone’s Passing, Instead Of Praying For His Recovery! [Opinion]

Dear Dharmendra Sir, Fight Hard & Let Us All Feel Ashamed For How We Have Treated You![Opinion]
We All Should Render A Collective Apology To Dharmendra Sir & His Family! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The media is a hard place to be. You live under a constant pressure of breaking the news. We did it first, we often claim! But there are times when we need to sit down and question our conscience. How far have we come, and how insensitive we are! For the past few days, I have seen the mockery of the life of one of the most celebrated superstars of this country – Dharmendra!

A senior, reputed anchor, offering condolences to his family, a senior artist from the music fraternity singing songs to offer tribute, some reputed members of the fraternity putting up Rest In Peace messages, and all of this while the man we love was struggling and fighting hard, putting up the toughest fight he could, to breathe, to live!

Honestly, I was numb! I was speechless at this eagerness to talk about someone in the past tense, not bothering to know if he struggles. But here’s what surprised me the most – We as human beings were waiting for the news of someone’s death! Like really? How dead should our morals be to wait for the confirmation of someone’s passing away! What was needed was prayers for Dharmendra Sir’s recovery! All he needs is his fans praying for his well-being!

Superstars shower immense love on their fans. They never shy away from crediting their stardom to their fans. But here we are, the so-called fans who waited for a death confirmation, rather than celebrating his will to fight and survive! Honestly, all this added trauma to his family in such a distressing time could have been eased with an apology!

But we turned this into a further circus outside his home and pushed it to a point where Sunny Deol lost his cool at the media! I wonder how they must feel when they see their stressed video from the hospital room, which is being shamelessly circulated, without anyone’s consent, because, yes, a superstar’s life is for public display! Why bother!

While I was numb at all that happened in the past few days, one of my friends pointed out, if someone would have told me that my parents are no more while they are alive, I don’t know, what would I have done to that person, and that hit me so hard! Imagine, the distress we have been causing to someone’s family who is just praying for their father, grandfather, husband, brother, to get well soon, just fight and just live!

Dear Dharmendra Sir,

I know, no apology or sorry can undo what we have done to you and your family in the last few days! But, Sir, you keep fighting to recover and live a healthy life till you can! You fight, Sir, and get well soon, and slap us hard with that fighting spirit so that we can feel ashamed not as professionals but as human beings.

We are a bunch of gossip mongers feeding on stardom and as fans we are a spineless bunch! Once you recover, we will be the same hypocrites who would cheer loudly and praise your fighting spirit. But you fight hard to make us feel ashamed for the basic decency we’ve lost as human beings! We have become so inert, so morally bankrupt, that we wait not for someone’s revival, but for their death. Make us feel ashamed for turning into an obtuse race that now waits for the news of someone’s passing away, rather than waiting for the news of their recovery!

Sorry will never be enough!

Disney CFO On YouTube TV Fight

Disney CFO On YouTube TV Fight

written by jummy84

“We’re in the middle of negotiations right now. Things are live. They’re happening. Obviously, as we entered the year, we knew this was going to be a challenging battle and we prepared ourselves for it, and we’re ready to go as long as they want to,” said Disney chief financial officer Hugh Johnston on CNBC this morning on the Mouse’s ongoing fight with YouTube TV.

Disney and YouTube have been locked in a carriage standoff for the past two weeks with ABC, ESPN and other networks going dark Oct. 30 on the Google service that is now the No. 3 U.S. pay-TV provider with 10 million subscribers. Industry and subscriber hopes that a second week of Monday Night Football would hasten the end of the clash went by the boards. Thus far, two revenue-rich Saturday slates of college football and two Monday night contests have been wiped out, with a 21% hit to ratings on the November 3 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.

In an interview on the network just after Disney reported mixed quarterly earnings, Johnston pushed back on comments that YouTube’s parent (Google and Alphabet) may have more leverage in negotiations given the relative size YouTube TV to the overall enterprise.

“This is ultimately about your customers, and, right now, YouTube customers are suffering without this critical content for them, right? Sports in the middle of football season is about as important as you can get. So, I think from that perspective, we perhaps have some leverage as well, because there are other places people can go to get that sports,” Johnston said.

He declined to address particular issues at stake in the talks. “I’m just not going to comment on the various elements of the negotiation. It’s a negotiation. There’s back and forth. They want certain things, you want certain things.”

Johnston will be flanking Disney CEO Bob Iger on a call with Wall Street analysts starting 8:30 ET where the YouTube TV fight will likely come up again.

James Van Der Beek selling Dawson’s Creek props to help with costs of cancer fight

James Van Der Beek is auctioning off Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues props to help with the financial burden of his cancer battle.

James Van Der Beek is selling film and TV props amid cancer battle

The 48-year-old actor – who was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer last year – is giving film and TV fans a chance to own memorabilia from his career with 100 percent of the proceeds from the items helping alleviate the cost of his health struggles.

He told PEOPLE magazine: “I’ve been storing these treasures for years, waiting for the right time to do something with them, and with all of the recent unexpected twists and turns life has presented recently, it’s clear that the time is now.

“While I have some nostalgia tugging at me as I part with these items, it feels good to be able to offer them through Propstore’s auction to share with those who have supported my work over the years.”

The items from James’ personal collection will be available next month in Propstore’s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction from December 5 to 7.

Many of the items are being made public for the first time, with wardrobe, props and set pieces from the actor’s career.

One major piece of TV history being offered is the necklace Dawson gave Joey for prom in Dawson’s Creek, which is estimated to detch between $26,400 and $52,800.

The collection includes items from throughout the series – which ran from 1998 to 2003 – including James’ pilot episode costume, which could bring in almost $4,000.

There are also items from 1999 movie Varsity Blues, including his film-worn West Caana Coyotes Hat, and cleats.

Anyone interested in bidding for pieces of the collection can register now ahead of live in-room bidding in London on December 6, while global bidding will be available until the end of play on December 7.

In September, James made a surprise appearance during a Dawson’s Creek reunion, having had to drop out due to suffering from “two stomach viruses”.

However, he shocked fans on the night at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City on Monday (22.09.25) when he made a virtual appearance at the event in support of the F Cancer charity.

In a pre-recorded video, which was projected onto the stage, he said: “I have been looking forward to this night for months and months ever since my angel Michelle Williams said she was putting it together.

“I can’t believe I’m not there. I can’t believe I don’t get to see my cast mates, my beautiful cast in person.

“And just I want to stand on that stage and thank every single person in the theatre for being here tonight. From the cast to the crew to everybody who’s doing anything and has been so generous, and especially every single last one of you – you are the best fans in the world.

“Thank you for coming. It’s just absolutely humbling just how much you did for this night, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you to every single person here.”

BBC Resigning Director General on Trump Scandal: 'Fight for Journalism'

BBC Resigning Director General on Trump Scandal: ‘Fight for Journalism’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Outgoing BBC director general Tim Davie, who resigned on Sunday amid a scandal over documentary program “Panorama’s” editing of Donald Trump‘s Jan. 6 speech, addressed his staff at the broadcaster’s headquarters on Tuesday.

According to BBC News, Davie acknowledged during a 40-minute town hall alongside chair Samir Shah that “we did make a mistake” in the editing of Trump’s speech, but told staff: “I think we’ve got to fight for our journalism.”

He gave three reasons for his departure, including the scandal over the “Panorama” documentary on Trump as well as the BBC’s upcoming charter renewal in 2027 and the “relentless” nature of the role. He insisted that the BBC will “survive” his departure and said several times that he is “fiercely proud of this organization.”

A timeline for Davie’s departure was not given, but Shah said the BBC board was in “succession mode.” Davie said he has “no regrets” about his time at the BBC and “wouldn’t change a thing.” He did not address Trump’s $1 billion legal threat to the BBC, but said political pressures were “challenging.”

On Monday, Trump sent a letter to the broadcaster threatening to sue for $1 billion unless the episode of “Panorama” was retracted, he received a formal apology and payment to “appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused.”

Controversy erupted over the weekend after a leaked memo from former BBC Editorial Guidelines and Standards committee adviser Michael Prescott was published by The Telegraph suggesting that “Panorama” edited a Trump speech to make it sound like he encouraged the Jan. 6 riots. It resulted in the shocking resignations of both Davie and CEO of news Deborah Turness on Sunday night.

Prescott’s memo said “Panorama” edited Trump’s speech to be: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.” Prescott wrote that Trump said the part beginning with “and we fight” 54 minutes after “we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you.”

On Monday, BBC chair Samir Shah  apologized for the edit in a letter to the U.K. culture, media and sport committee and called it an “error of judgement.” Speaking with the BBC’s Katie Razzall following the letter’s publication, Shah said that he has been in contact with Trump’s team and is considering personally apologizing to the president. 

The BBC has been flanked by several other controversies this year, including a Gaza documentary that was found to be a “serious breach” of Ofcom’s broadcasting rules and its handling of controversy at Glastonbury Festival when it aired the punk duo Bob Vylan chanting “death to the IDF.”

Davie and Turness’ departure timeline and who exactly will replace them remains unclear.

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is the third most common cancer globally, with more than 1.9 million new cases and more than 930,000 deaths globally in 2020, according to the World Health Organisation. It accounts for approximately 10% of all cancer cases and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Therefore, educating oneself about this cancer is a need of the hour, so that you can protect your colon and opt for a healthy lifestyle. In a November 8 Instagram post, Dr Joseph Salhab, a board-certified gastroenterologist and popular health influencer known as @thestomachdoc on social media, listed 6 snacks you can include in your daily diet to protect yourself from colon cancer.

6 snacks to fight colon cancer

Sharing the list of 6 snack combinations to fight colon cancer, Dr Salhab noted, “These foods had some of the strongest effects in lowering colon cancer risk.”

Additionally, he pointed out that these recommendations are science-backed, as some are included in a May 2023 meta-analysis: “Different types of fruit intake and colorectal cancer risk,” published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology.

Here are the 6 snacks Dr Salhab recommended:

1. Watermelon with lime

The first snack the gastroenterologist suggested in the video is eating watermelon with lime. According to him, the combination contains lycopene and vitamin C, which helps reduce the risk of colon cancer.

2. Walnuts with yoghurt

Next, he suggested having a handful of walnuts with some yoghurt. It contains omega-3 and probiotics, which can be beneficial for your colon health.

3. Avocado with salsa

The gastroenterologist recommended having avocado with salsa. In the video, he can be seen enjoying this combination on a toasted slice of bread. According to him, avocados and salsa are rich in fibre and prebiotics, which help boost immune cells in the colon.

4. Blueberry and chia seeds

Dr Salhab suggested making a blueberry chia pudding with blueberries and chia seeds. They have anthocyanins and soluble fibre, which nourish protective bacteria present in the colon.

5. Apples and cinnamon

Take a few slices of apple and sprinkle them with cinnamon. This snack contains pectin fibre and polyphenols, which produce more butyrate for anti-inflammatory effects.

6. Kiwi with honey yoghurt

Lastly, Dr Salhab recommended having kiwi with some yoghurt drizzled with honey, as the fibre present in kiwi can repair DNA damage in the colon.

Doctor who survived stage 4 breast cancer shares 5 powerful foods that can help your body fight cancer: From berries to…

by jummy84
written by jummy84

You’ve probably heard the phrase “you are what you eat,” but it’s more real than you think. The right foods can actually help your body ward off serious diseases. From colourful veggies to everyday kitchen staples, some ingredients are loaded with cancer-fighting compounds.

Dr Mussallem reveals that specific foods, including soy and berries, can combat cancer risks.(Pexels)

Dr Dawn Mussallem, a double board-certified physician at Mayo Clinic and a stage 4 breast cancer survivor, shared in an October 23 podcast with American author Mel Robbins the top five foods that can help your body fight cancer and promote long-term wellness. (Also read: Fortis Delhi gastroenterologist says this superfruit ‘is a blessing for your heart’ )

1. Berries

“Research on berries is so exciting, both for breast cancer prevention and for survivors,” says Dr Mussallem. “For every two servings a week, they can reduce the risk of breast cancer, and for survivors, lower the risk of dying from it by 25%.”

2. Purple sweet potatoes

“These purple sweet potatoes have about 150% more anthocyanins than berries,” she explains. “These powerful compounds help turn off tumour genes and activate tumour suppressor genes, essentially putting the brakes on cancer growth.”

3. Cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts)

“These are some of the most powerful vegetables when it comes to breast cancer,” Dr Mussallem says. “They contain an enzyme called myrosinase, which helps the body absorb their cancer-fighting nutrients more effectively. They also help transform estrogen into a form that doesn’t stimulate cell growth.”

4. Beans and other fibre-rich plant foods

“This is an amazing plant protein and you’re not just getting protein, you’re getting fibre,” she notes. “A massive study with 17 million person-years of data showed that fibre can reduce the risk of dying from any cause, heart disease, and even pancreatic cancer. Another review found that fibre can cut overall cancer risk by 22%.”

According to Dr. Mussallem, certain foods such as soy and berries can significantly reduce cancer risks.(Google Gemini)

5. Soy and edamame

“There are very few foods that, if you ever got breast cancer, can actually reduce your risk of dying, and edamame is one of them,” says Dr Mussallem. “Soy is also protective for the prostate and may reduce the risk of lung cancer. The American Cancer Society’s 2022 report showed soy can lower the risk of breast cancer recurrence by 25%.”

Dr Mussallem concludes by reminding us that food truly is medicine. “All these colourful fruits and vegetables are full of phytonutrients that help the body heal. The body has such wisdom to repair itself, we just have to give it the right tools.”
