After Danis threw his feet at Chimaev while on his back, \u201cBorz\u201d delivered a leg kick. A brawl between both sides ensued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl Jefe\u201d has developed a reputation for starting fights both in and out of competition. His most infamous brawl put an end to his foul-marred boxing match against Logan Paul, but the incident with team Chimaev is up there.<\/p>\n<p>While Danis is known for being unpredictable on camera, RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein told MMAFighting that there is no ban in place for the former Bellator star. Bronstein insists that Danis has been a pleasure to work with when the cameras stop rolling.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYeah, you\u2019ll see Dillon Danis back in RAF,\u201d Bronstein said. \u201cI don\u2019t need to ban Dillon because we stepped in. I\u2019ll tell you this about Dillon, [and] I work with Dillon, I\u2019ve worked with Dillon behind the scenes a lot. So has Izzy, and so has our team, and he\u2019s very respectful to everybody in our organization, but we did have to deal with certain things with him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut I\u2019m not going to say I\u2019m banning him and that we won\u2019t see him on the stage, because I do think he\u2019ll be back eventually. And, again, for wrestling and everything that he\u2019s done with us, he\u2019s been nothing but respectful in our organization. Now [the brawl] was something we don\u2019t ever want, which he knows, and we\u2019ve had that conversation, but I do think we\u2019ll see Dillon Danis back eventually.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Danis has two losses under the RAF banner. There\u2019s the aforementioned 10-0 defeat to Chimaev, and the 14-4 loss against Colby Covington back in March.<\/p>\n<p>How soon RAF will want to bring Danis back into the fold remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did RAF make the right decision to not ban Dillon Danis?
