The UFC has banned Dillon Danis from attending future events after he was involved in a brawl at UFC 322 on Saturday, CEO Dana White said.
Danis got into a scuffle with several members of welterweight champion Islam Makhachev's team while cageside at Madison Square Garden, just minutes before the main card started.

White said he declined to press charges but that Danis won't attend another event.
"You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again," White said at the postfight press conference.
This was not the first time Danis, a former training partner of UFC star Conor McGregor, was involved in a melee at a UFC event. Danis was in McGregor's corner in 2018 when he lost to Makhachev's teammate Khabib Nurmagomedov in a blockbuster title fight. After the fight, Nurmagomedov infamously leapt over the Octagon and attacked McGregor's corner, including Danis, leading to a brawl inside and outside the cage.
White said he blames himself for letting Danis get into another fracas Saturday night.
"It never even crossed 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 over on the other side, and I go, 'F--k. I know exactly what that is.' I knew it."
