"They came back and told me right before I walked out for the main card that Dillon Danis was here and he was moving around sitting in fighters' seats and not sitting in his own seat that he had. He had a ticket. They said, 'Do you want us to throw him out of here?' I said, 'He has a ticket?' They said, 'Yeah.'"
""It didn't even cross my mind, as stupid as this could be, that the entire Muslim Brotherhood was here tonight in the first five rows for Islam," White said. "As soon as it broke out, I was on the other side, and I go, 'F*ck. I know exactly what that is. I knew it.' You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again.""
Dillon Danis moved through fighters' seating at a UFC event despite having a ticket and was allowed to remain after security asked about ejecting him. The choice to let him sit was made because he had a ticket and was several rows away from Jorge Masvidal, who had threatened confrontation. Organizers underestimated the large Dagestani and Muslim contingent backing Islam Makhachev in the front rows. When the altercation occurred, the decision was recognized as a mistake. Danis will be barred from future UFC fights, and the UFC opted not to press charges.
