Dillon Danis denies substance abuse involvement
Dillon Danis quickly claimed that the viral video of a man consuming a white substance wasn't him.
Dillon Danis is denying any involvement in substance abuse following the viral photos of a strikingly similar-looking individual caught snorting a white substance. The controversial figure had pulled out of his scheduled fight just days before the event due to an undisclosed injury. UFC veteran Brandon Jenkins stepped in to replace Danis, who went on to face Mike Perry and win the bout when Perry suffered a dislocated shoulder.
The timing and nature of the incident led fans to quickly draw connections between the two events. However, Danis firmly denied any involvement, pointing out differences in the photos. He specifically noted that the man in the picture was missing his distinct tattoos, claiming those images as false. To support his claim, Danis shared a photo of his own injury, the same one he cited as the reason for his fight withdrawal.
