"I blame myself for that, actually," White said. "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."
Dana White announced that Dillon Danis is banned from attending UFC events after Danis was central to an all-out brawl at UFC 322 that involved members of Team Khabib supporting Islam Makhachev. Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov were among those who engaged Danis, reportedly pelting him with punches as people spilled onto the runway. White said venue staff had informed him that Danis had a ticket and was moving around fighters' seats and that Jorge Masvidal threatened confrontation, so staff were instructed to monitor Danis rather than eject him. White said he faulted himself for not foreseeing a clash with Team Khabib.
