Hype FC Floats Danis–Zaynukov Grappling Bout in Armenia With ‘Record’ Purse Offer

The pitch follows their UFC 322 brawl, leaving formal bout terms still absent.

Overview

  • Hype Fighting Championship posted an offer for Dillon Danis and Magomed “Chanko” Zaynukov to meet in a neutral‑site grappling match in Armenia and touted “record” pay for grappling.
  • Neither fighter has confirmed participation, no contracts or event details have been released, and the purse claim has not been independently verified.
  • The proposed matchup stems from their UFC 322 altercation at Madison Square Garden, after which Dana White said Danis was banned from future UFC events.
  • Danis’ recent Misfits Boxing bout in Dubai was canceled when he was not medically cleared, a factor that could complicate any near‑term booking.
  • Zaynukov is an undefeated UFC prospect from Dagestan who earned a contract via the Contender Series, and reporting notes he could face legal and travel issues following the UFC 322 incident.
