Dillon Danis is back, which makes me wish these articles came with a laugh track.
Conor McGregor’s former jiu-jitsu coach will defend his MFB MMA Light Heavyweight Championship against fellow Bellator MMA veteran Anthony Taylor in the co-main event of Misfits Boxing 23, scheduled for Sat., Dec. 20, 2025 from inside Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai.
That’s the same fight card that has controversial influencer Andrew Tate battling Chase DeMoor at heavyweight.
UFC icon Tony Ferguson will also see
action.
Danis, 32, captured the promotion’s MMA crown by submitting Warren Spencer at Misfits Boxing 22 back in August. As for the 36 year-old Taylor, he was stopped by former UFC middleweight Darren Till at Misfits Boxing 20 last January.
“See two worlds meet, two tempers flare, and one man walk away victorious,“ promoters wrote online. ”With Dubai’s dazzling backdrop, and championship gold on the line, Misfits Boxing in Dubai promises to be a historic night that redefines the future of crossover boxing!“
Expect more Misfits Boxing 23 matchups to be announced in the coming days.
