Danis claims having Bellator ownership stake allowed him catchweight fights
Dillon Danis’ first two fights at Bellator were fought at a 175-pound catchweight. The same deal is in place for his upcoming fight against Kegan Genrich at Bellator 238.
So how is Danis able to seemingly sway things in his favor? Here’s his answer.
“Why catchweight? Yeah because I mean, when you’re the owner, you can do what you want so why not make your own weight,” Danis told The Schmo (transcript by MMA Junkie). “Why do I have to go to everybody else’s weight class, when I can make my own weight class and have my own belt and do what I want so (expletive) everybody else.
“I just say it, and it happens. Just one text message from me.”
