Dillon Danis Reveals Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva May Happen This September
On 19th July, Dillon Danis leaked a direct message he’d received on Instagram from Jiu-Jitsu black belt Viktor Doria who which claimed that a huge event would be happening in Dubai on 19th September. According to Doria, this supposed ‘huge event’ is a bout between Silva and Logan Paul. Danis shared the screenshot on his Instagram story with the caption, “so funny they talk shit but follow and dm me such losers,” followed by seven laughing emojis.
Following is the entire direct message Doria sent to Danis which said that there will be a huge main event in Dubai September 19. “Main event is Anderson Silva vs Logan Paul boxing match. Would you like to fight a grappling match adcc rules and referees?” While nothing has been confirmed yet about the fight, the direct message was enough to light social media on fire.
Early Prediction: It has just been six weeks since Logan Paul lasted eight rounds in an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Silva just grabbed a dominant decision win over former WBC middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. A fight between them could be quite promising with the whole underdog-superstar friction. Making an early prediction, Logan Paul could give a hardcore performance against Silva. But in the end, The Spider will prevail.

Logan Paul’s brother Jake was one of the first to congratulate Silva on Twitter after his recent victory over Chavez. Jake also commented how he would not mind taking on him and Roy Jones Jr on the same card.

In talks with MMA Junkie later, Silva responded positively to Jake Paul’s tweet. He said that he respected both Jake and Logan and had a positive relationship with them. Calling them amazing, he concluded by saying that everything is possible and that his next fight may be with Logan Paul.
If the leaked message is true, we can expect a confirmation for the main event fight in the next 2 weeks.
