Danis Cites Concussion for Deposition No-Show
6 Dec
Summary
- Dillon Danis claims a concussion from a UFC brawl prevents deposition attendance.
- The fighter is reportedly receiving medical treatment in California.
- A rescheduled deposition is expected in January, with a deadline for dates.
Dillon Danis has stated that he cannot attend his upcoming deposition in the Nina Agdal case, attributing his absence to a concussion. The MMA fighter claims he is currently in California receiving medical treatment for a head injury sustained during a physical altercation at UFC 322. This incident has led to a delay in the legal proceedings, with Danis's lawyers aiming to reschedule the deposition for January.
The brawl, which involved members of Islam Makhachev's team, prompted an investigation call from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Danis's attorney has indicated a commitment to providing new dates by December 12, 2025, or requesting a court-ordered deposition in January.
This latest development is part of a prolonged legal dispute that began in 2023 following Danis's persistent online trolling. The concussion has also impacted his fighting career, forcing him out of a scheduled bout next month. The fight promotion expects his return in 2026.
