Paige VanZant claims Dillon Danis asked her to 'peg him' as her husband challenges him to fight

UFC fighter-turned-OnlyFans-model Paige VanZant has claimed to have been asked to 'peg' Dillon Danis by the controversial MMA fighter as her husband challenged him to a fight following allegations of her committing adultery. 

On Thursday, VanZant took to Instagram to directly fire back at Danis, as the former submission grappler shared a post on X barely 24 hours earlier, revealing that he can 'ruin' her marriage by bringing up 'two trips to Vegas' after she claimed that he isn't a 'real fighter' during an interview for her upcoming Misfits boxing match against Elle Brooke. 

The 30-year-old VanZant was alluding to Danis on Wednesday when asked about her transition from MMA to boxing. Danis boxed once against American YouTuber Logan Paul in October 2023 and lost by disqualification. 

His claim that he could ruin VanZant's six-year marriage to Austin Vanderford on social media naturally didn't bode well with the 34-year-old Bellator MMA fighter. 

'Dillon, guy...,' Vanderford shared on Instagram. 'Let's just fight. Paige's comments seemed to upset you. We are the same weight. We can box or do whatever you want.' 

Paige VanZant claims Dillon Danis asked her to 'peg him' after he accused of her adultery

On Wednesday, Dannis alleged that VanZant has cheated on her husband before in Las Vegas

Vanderford challenged Danis to a fight after going public with the accusations, also on Wed.

However, it doesn't seem like VanZant needed an protection from her husband as she replied to Danis' claims of adultery with a recorded video of herself on Instagram on Thursday. 

'Yo, it has come to my attention that there is a certain clown on Instagram by the name of Dillon Danis, trying to talk some s**t and starting some drama,' the 30-year-old content creator said at first, before telling her fans: 'So let's f***ing go, right?!' 

She then added: 'So, Dillon... obviously I said ''you're not a real fighter.'' My bad if I triggered you. I understand that hurt your feelings. But, instead of coming back and just talking s**t about me, saying I'm not a real righter, uhm, what did you do...

'You kind of f***ed yourself right? You backed yourself into a corner because now you have to come with proof of this ''alleged affair'' right? Because the only time I ever remember seeing you in Vegas was at the UFC athlete retreat. You walked up to me at a bar, asked me to peg you in front of multiple other UFC fighters and I laughed in your face. 

'That's not the definition of a relationship, is it? And starting drama on the internet, trying to fight my husband, there's definitely better ways you can handle that. Ugh, he has three things that you will absolutely never have. One, a wife. Two, friends. And three, a real MMA resume so Dillon, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings but when you're a piece of s**t like you are, it's pretty f***ing easy. 

'Have a good one!' 

Together, VanZant and Vanderford create content on OnlyFans and also post regularly on Insta

Danis called it quits on his fighting career last year when Logan Paul defeated him in boxing

During the buildup to his boxing match against Paul, Danis shared snaps of his fiancée Nina Agdal on social media. She proceeded to file a lawsuit and was granted a restraining order 

Danis is known for his erratic and ruthless behavior in the ring, as well as on social media. In 2018, he was involved in a melee at UFC 229 after Khabib Nurmagomedov proceeded to throw his mouthpiece and then scaled the cage and appeared to jump towards him. 

Danis responded by throwing punches at Nurmagomedov before an all-out brawl ensued. He was subsequently fined $7,500 and suspended for seven months after the incident. 

During the build up to his boxing match with Logan Paul on in October 2023, Danis continuously shared images of Paul's fiancée Nina Agdal on social media. 

Agdal filed a lawsuit and on September 8. She was granted a temporary restraining order.
