Dillon Danis has said he pocketed more than $1 million for his loss to Logan Paul, despite previously agreeing to give up his entire wallet if he were defeated.
Danis barely laid a finger on Paul during the fight and ultimately lost via disqualification after trying to tackle Paul in the sixth and final round.
And yet Danis said on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he took home a big payday from the fight.
Morgan reminded the jiu-jitsu star that he had agreed to forfeit all his money of the fight if he lost.
But Danis claimed the pair ‘never shook hands’ before Morgan produced a giant fake cheque, payable to Paul.

Dillon Danis (R) was disqualified during his fight against Logan Paul (L) on Saturday evening.
Danis has previously claimed that he charges $15,000 (£12,350) per sponsored Instagram story and lives almost entirely off his social media fame.
“I’m rich now, buddy,” Danis told Ariel Helwani during a recent appearance on the MMA Hour.
‘I don’t understand why no one understands how I make money when my Instagram account is so popular. I get paid $15,000 for a story, which is more for a story and a tweet.”
In the DAZN video capturing the bet between Danis and Paul, the latter agreed to have his opponent be his best man at his wedding if he lost.
Paul is engaged to Nina Agdal, who routinely harassed Danis in the lead-up to the fight.
After months of posting photos and videos of Agdal on social media, Danis even obtained a temporary restraining order against him.
According to court documents, Agdal also sued Dabus for “revenge porn” after the 30-year-old allegedly posted a “sexually explicit photo” of her that was taken without her consent, according to the complaint.
Nevertheless, she was certainly happy to see her partner beat him in Manchester last weekend.
