Despite receiving a pair of boxing gloves from the UFC president, the significance of this gesture resonated deeply with Danis. Although El Jefe’s MMA career has seen challenges, the 29-year-old fighter went on to secure a deal with Bellator and maintained an undefeated record as a welterweight contender.

In response to White’s remarks, Danis emphasized that he considers himself primarily as an MMA fighter and sees his involvement in boxing as a financial gain. El Jefe pointed out the appeal of the Logan fight comes from potential financial gains.
“I’m making more than anyone in the UFC besides Izzy [Israel Adesanya], Conor [McGregor], and maybe Islam [Makhachev]. But, I’m definitely making more than all those other guys and I haven’t fought in four years.” Danis said.
