MMA star Dillon Danis has been reportedly snapped on a night out in Manchester hours before he takes on YouTuber Logan Paul.

The 30-year-old has launched a series of tweets targeted at Paul and his model fiance Nina Agdal and now gets the chance to back up his fighting talk against the businessman turned pugilist on Saturday night. Danis and Paul will act as the chief support to clash between Tommy Fury and Paul's business partner KSI as social media boxing gets ready for its biggest event.

Danis called for Paul to be docked some of his pay as he claimed his rival showed late for their designated weigh in and bad blood is set to spill inside the AO Arena. Danis was snapped on several social media stories lounging inside the Cloud 23 cocktail bar in the Deansgate district of Manchester

Images and video showed Danis posing for pictures with revellers in front of a table packed with a tray of Tequila shots as the party continued into the wee hours. Danis has limited experience of competing in the sweet science, however his MMA background led to him landing a key role in Conor McGregor's camp before his defeat to eternal UFC rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.

And how he is aiming to prove he has more than just social media jobs in his arsenal as he takes on a man who has gone the distance with Floyd Mayweather.
