        Dillon Danis was swarmed by multiple assailants at UFC 322 in Madison Square Garden, New York City on Saturday November 15th.

        

        This came after Danis had been trolling several fighters on X for several years.

        People who gang up on others are cowards. People who attack by surprise are cowards. People who hit to the back of the head are cowards. Who kick and stomp those who have fallen to the ground. Pathetic little boys.

        A professional fighter punching a man to the back of the head multiple times can easily kill him. Not to mention getting knocked out and bouncing someone's head off the concrete below. It is only luck that no one was killed, it is certainly not probabilitistically unlikely! Thank God no one was killed. I'm sure we'll find out the extent of the injuries later. What would have happened if security did not defend this man? He could easily have been killed. 

        This is disgusting and you deserve jail time. There is no honour in this. Shame on you, and anyone who taught you this was acceptable behaviour.

         I get that you attacked someone who has been insulting you for years. I do not condone street fighting either but at least if you say "let's go" and fight someone one on one making it clear that you intend to fight, then your target has a reasonable chance of defending themselves. And you are both professional fighters so fair enough.

        I am a fan of combat sports: a contest between people who agree to fight, agree to a set of rules. To me it's cowardly of the UFC themselves to not press charges, and only ban the target of the attacks. I don't know whether it's just some bullshit macho fight culture stuff, or it is motivated by profit, but this is just so weak. You're setting a precedent and almost encouraging this behaviour with your laissez-faire boys-will-be-boys attitude. Or saying "these people" are from a culture that doesn't put up with you staying mean things about them should not fly in the United States. That is not an acceptable culture.

        Maybe I shouldn't joke about such a serious subject but as George Costanza would spout exasperatedly, "We're trying to have a society here!"

        Street fighting is dangerous and disgusting in general. To do so ten against one, is savage. 

        You are not men, you are sheep dressed in wolf costumes. No words can justify this behaviour.
