Dillon Danis Cites Concussion from UFC Brawl to Miss Agdal Case Deposition
Dillon Danis is facing challenges in his legal case with Nina Agdal due to a concussion he sustained during UFC 322. The MMA fighter claims that this injury prevents him from attending his deposition scheduled for next week.
Medical Treatment Following UFC Brawl
Danis is currently in California, where he is receiving medical treatment for his head injury. This injury occurred on November 15, when a brawl broke out involving multiple members of Islam Makhachev’s team at Madison Square Garden.
Legal Implications of the Concussion
Due to his medical condition, Danis’ lawyer informed the court that he will be unable to attend the deposition in New Jersey. The deposition was set to take place on December 12, 2025, where Agdal’s lawyers planned to question him extensively.
- Concussion sustained during UFC 322 on November 15, 2025
- Location of treatment: California
- Deposition rescheduled to January 2026
Mark Berman, Danis’ attorney, expressed intent to provide new dates for the deposition by December 12. He added that if there were delays, the court might set a date requested by Agdal’s legal team.
Background of the Legal Battle
This situation marks another delay in the ongoing legal saga that began in 2023 when Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis. The lawsuit followed a series of public trolling incidents by Danis.
Impact on Upcoming Fights
The concussion has also led to Danis withdrawing from an upcoming match against Anthony Taylor at Misfits Mania. The organization stated that despite Danis’ desire to compete, medical professionals deemed him unfit to fight this month.
- Scheduled fight: Dillon Danis vs. Anthony Taylor
- Event: Misfits Mania
- Expected return to the ring: 2026
Despite the setbacks, the Misfits organization anticipates Danis will return in 2026 to defend his title following recovery from his concussion.
