MMA fighter keen to collide with MJF after months of social media feud
MJF has had several heated social media interactions with notable sports personalities in the past. The reigning AEW World Champion recently got under the skin of the popular MMA Fighter Dillon Danis, who has now vowed to dismantle him.
The Bellator fighter is no stranger to 'The Salt of the Earth,' having had heated Twitter exchanges in the past. The 29-year-old fired the first shot in April 2023, claiming that if he ever saw MJF in person, he would rearrange his face.
The pro-wrestler supplied a brash response, questioning the fighter's identity. It prompted the welterweight to claim that he would break every bone in the former's body. The Devil continued his heel antics with an interesting tweet last month, to which Davis swore to "slap the taste" out of Friedman's mouth in a now-deleted post.
Fightful Select (subscription required) has reported that the fighter slid into the Fightful's DMs with a crystal clear message:
"For some reason, MMA fighter Dillon Danis dropped in Fightful’s DMs and said “I want MJF”.

MJF has previously Twitter-tussled with prominent UFC fighters
The Long Islander's social media encounters include the popular UFC fighter Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett, and even Conor McGregor.
The Twitter war between Friedman and Pimblett began when the latter fired jibes over Friedman's Instagram video post. In the clip, Friedman spoke about how lethal professional wrestling is, dubbing it even riskier than MMA.
In response, the 26-year-old wrestler labeled the Liverpool-based fighter a "dollar store" version of Conor McGregor. Taking note of the heated exchange, the Irishman himself chimed in on the matter, calling MJF a clown.
"A dollar store Conor is still worth millions! Let’s go young Paddy Pimb! Don’t know who this other clown is," wrote McGregor.

The Salt of the Earth is yet to respond to Dillon Danis' statement. It will be interesting to see if the two expert trash-talkers lock horns in an AEW ring in the near future.
