UFC CEO Dana White revealed that Danis will be barred from attending future events sanctioned by the organization.

Videos recorded at the scene appeared to show Danis brawling with Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov, both teammates of Makhachev.

White later told reporters that he did not intend to press charges against Danis, but hinted at disciplining the 32-year-old fighter in another fashion.

"I was on the other side [of the Octagon] and go, 'F---, I know exactly what this is,'" White said in a post-fight news conference. "You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again."

White ultimately shouldered responsibility for the chaotic event. 

"I blame myself for that, actually," he said.

Danis was part of an altercation in 2018 after his then-teammate McGregor was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov by submission. Danis' involvement resulted in a seven-month suspension and a fine.
