Logan Paul covers cut face with balaclava and brings out Dillon Danis’ nemesis during angry final face-off
Logan Paul wore a balaclava for his final staredown with rival Dillon Danis.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer kept his face covered when he attended a ceremonial weigh-in ahead of his fight with Conor McGregor’s teammate in Manchester on Saturday night.

Paul did nothing to quell fears he had suffered a significant injury on Thursday when Danis threw a microphone at his face during a pre-fight press conference that got ugly.
On Friday morning, both men made their contracted 195lb fight weight, but Danis claimed his rival failed to hit the scales before the 11 a.m. deadline and therefore should face a fine.
Later in the day, Paul and Danis posed on the scales for fans and media, before entering a cage for a final face-off ahead of their big fight.
The 2-0 MMA star kicked the glass while asking for a proper staredown, before throwing various insults at his rival when their face-off concluded.

“He’s a p****, bro,” Danis told combat sports reporter Ariel Helwani. "He has nothing behind his eyes. He has a bunch of cocaine behind his eyes.
"He’s a fake fighter. Let’s do a real stare-off, like a man. Where’s Nina [Agdal] at, you little b****? Bring that w**** up here.”
Despite hiding his face, Paul insisted there were no issues heading into his first boxing bout since he went eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather in June 2021.
"No concern. I’m feeling beautiful,” he said.

“Dillon Danis is a coward, he’s a predator and I’m f****** him up, Ariel. I’m f****** him up tomorrow! He’s a dirty a** fighter. I’ve got all the goons in case he tries anything funny.”
Jake Paul’s older brother proceeded to bring out BJJ legend Gordon Ryan, who has a long-running feud with Danis and was apparently there to stop ‘El Jefe’ using his submission skills.
“In fact, I’ve got Dillon Danis kryptonite in the building,” Logan added.
“You know, I’ve got brought the baddest dudes in the world, I’ve got Gordon Ryan to protect me in case he tries to any jiu jitsu bulls***. This guy is going to f*** you up tomorrow if you try some s***.”
Danis responded to Ryan’s presence by accusing him and Paul of using steroids, while also suggesting their feud may get ugly when they return to America.
He shouted: “That’s his steroid supplier. Two f****** juice heads that don’t even know how to f****** really fight.
“Gordon is a little b****, that’s why he’s selling out. He’s from [New] Jersey and he’s supporting the other side. You’re a f****** dead man when you get back to Jersey, you p**** a** b****.”
Ultimately, Paul and Danis went their separate ways without throwing any objects or punches at each other.
In just 24 hours, they’ll finally get the chance to settle their beef in the ring.
