However, Dillon Danis was outnumbered quickly but the uglyfight lastes for over two minutes, thus overshadowing the main card, including Makhachev’s title defense. Moreover, it also eventually interrupted the commentators Jon Anik, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier. While a clear picture is still awaited, but according to the people and fans present at the arena, Dillon Danis started it all while he was watching from the cageside and got involved in a heated exchange with Abubakar Nurmagomedov, along with Magomed "Chanco" Zaynukov, a training partner of the current UFC lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev.

It resulted in a wild pile-up that spilled over the entire arena, a bunch of security officials, police personnel as well as fans got caught up with several picking up chairs and barriers. As things aggravated, the broadcast was soon pulled off while the UFC’s Chief Business Officer also got in to break the fighters. Eventually, Dillon Danis was held up by the police and was escorted out.
