Dillon Danis Accepts Arman Tsarukyan Grappling Challenge
A surprising grappling showdown may be on the horizon after Dillon Danis publicly accepted a challenge from UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan.
The potential matchup is being discussed for a grappling bout under the banner of Hype Fighting, adding an intriguing crossover between a submission specialist and one of the UFC’s most skilled wrestlers.
Tsarukyan initially called out Danis for a grappling contest, a move that immediately caught attention in the MMA community. Danis, known for his elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu credentials and his association with Conor McGregor, responded on social media with a short but confident message: “I accept. I’ll see you soon.”
Danis has long been regarded as a high-level grappler, winning multiple jiu-jitsu tournaments earlier in his career. While his MMA appearances have been limited in recent years, he remains confident in his submission skills and has frequently claimed he could compete with top fighters on the ground.
Tsarukyan, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the most dangerous grapplers in the UFC lightweight division. Since debuting against Islam Makhachev in a competitive bout, the Armenian fighter has built a reputation for relentless wrestling, positional control, and improving submission threats.

A grappling-only match between the two could provide a fascinating stylistic clash. Danis brings pure jiu-jitsu expertise, while Tsarukyan combines high-level wrestling with submission awareness developed through MMA competition.
Although the matchup has not been officially scheduled yet, Danis accepting the challenge has significantly increased the likelihood that the contest could materialize.
If finalized, the bout would likely generate significant interest among fans eager to see how a specialist grappler like Danis performs against one of the UFC’s most physically dominant lightweights in a submission-focused environment.
