Dillon Danis, the MMA fighter, is facing a legal setback as he claims a concussion sustained during a brawl at the UFC 322 event is preventing him from attending his deposition in the Nina Agdal case. The incident occurred on November 15th at MSG, where Danis clashed with members of Islam Makhachev's team. This head injury has now led to a delay in the legal proceedings, as Danis' lawyer, Mark Berman, seeks to reschedule the deposition for January, pending a response from the defendant's team.
The brawl, which prompted an investigation by the NYPD, has also resulted in a withdrawal from a scheduled fight against Anthony Taylor at Misfits Mania next month. The company confirmed that medical professionals deemed Danis unfit to compete, despite his efforts to remain on the card. This is not the first delay in the case, which began in 2023 when Agdal served Danis with a lawsuit for his online trolling activities. The legal saga continues, with the next chapter set to unfold in the new year.
