Ex-UFC Veteran Slams Logan Paul For Dillon Danis-Nina Agdal Lawsuit
One former UFC title challenger is crying foul over Logan Paul's fiancée Nina Agdal suing Dillon Danis.
Paul and Danis are scheduled for a boxing match on October 14. In the buildup to the fight, Danis has gone after Agdal, posting a slew of photos and a video of her on social media, leading to a lawsuit, as well as a restraining order. The restraining order has been granted, although it is a non-physical order and Agdal plans to attend the fight.
As for Danis, he's hinted at possibly pulling out of the fight over the lawsuit. Mike Perry is the official backup plan if Danis decides he doesn't want to go through with the bout.

During an interview with "The Schmo," Chael Sonnen said he wouldn't fault Dillon Danis if he no-shows the fight against Logan Paul.
"Yes he does [show up to the fight], but I would not blame him if he did not," Sonnen said. "I realize that's been hanging over this entire fight because the KSI [fight] fell apart. Dillon has never told the world why that fight fell apart, which I think you would fully understand if he ever did. Secondly, they put a $100,000 clause in there, they brought in Mike Perry, they made it a co-main event just in case."
Sonnen then criticized Logan Paul for allowing Nina Agdal to slap a lawsuit on Danis when he's been heavily promoting the fight and drawing interest in a card that otherwise would've had the spotlight on headliners KSI and Tommy Fury.
"It has nothing to do with the competition," Sonnen said. "They need to drop those lawsuits. That's a crap move, that's a scumbag move. I do not think of Logan as a scumbag. That move is a scumbag move."
Sonnen believes Danis is in a rough situation, especially if he loses the boxing match.
"My God, what if he loses? Now, you're gonna take his money, he's taking an opportunity, you're gonna embarrass him, oh and by the way, you're gonna see him in court. It's the wrong thing to do."
