Dillon Danis has offered to replace Paulo Costa at UFC 294 next week ahead of his clash with bitter rival Logan Paul\u00a0on October 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n
UFC\u00a0president\u00a0Dana White\u00a0revealed that\u00a0Costa’s highly anticipated clash with\u00a0Khamzat Chimaev\u00a0is in doubt following the Brazilian’s\u00a0recent surgery on his elbow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Costa has insisted that he will be fine to contest\u00a0the co-main event\u00a0in Abu Dhabi but White\u00a0struck a more fearful tone in his comments on Tuesday, sparking rumours of who could replace him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danis, who will face Paul on the undercard of KSI’s bout with Tommy Fury in Manchester, was quick to throw his hat into the ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’m free next week @danawhite,’ he wrote on X, formely Twitter, on Wednesday. ‘Give me Khamzat Chimaev.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The MMA fighter is set to face Logan Paul on the KSI vs Tommy Fury undercard on Saturday<\/p>\n
Danis’s most recent jibe at Paul is unquestionably his kindest considering the torrent of personal attacks he has launched at his countryman.<\/p>\n
He was hit with a restraining order over harassment after posting old pictures and videos of Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, and made a series of X-rated comments.<\/p>\n
Model Agdal alleged she had ‘suffered humiliation, emotional distress and reputational harm’ from Danis’ posts and has officially filed a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
Danis has also hinted he may withdraw from the fight, saying: ‘Logan bragging about lawsuits. He isn’t built for the fight game, this p**** doesn’t deserve me. I’m out.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
