What happened?
A chaotic brawl erupted in the crowd during the opening moments of UFC 322's pay-per-view broadcast, involving MMA fighter Dillon Danis.

The altercation quickly escalated into one of the largest cageside brawls in UFC history.

One person wrote, "Danis’ ejection underscores the volatility surrounding his persona and the challenges UFC faces managing heated tensions during major events."
Anorher commented, “I am sorry, but it has to be asked at this point, what is up with Dillon Danis? Is he a masochist or something? He seems to be unable to resist getting beaten up and humiliated by other men in public for some reason, now at the UFC 322 too. What's up with that? Weird.”
