Michael Bisping has shed light on what went down between Dillon Danis and Ali Abdelaziz during the UFC 268 event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Speaking on the 'Believe You Me' podcast, 'The Count' shared what he heard about the altercation between 'El Jefe' and Abdelaziz on November 6:

"I was backstage and then I saw tons of security and then, from what I heard, Dillon Danis, and this guy's just an idiot, he's a clout chaser who's trying to get famous, he doesn't fight, he sneaked past security somehow... and got in Ali Abdelaziz's face... came in all aggressive like he was gonna do something and then Ali was like, 'F**k!' He thought he [Dillon Danis] was gonna attack him and he gave him a good slap," said Michael Bisping.

“F**king D**do Danis has been talking sh** all week. He’s down there. I walked past him before. And as I walked past him, I just went like that,” Bisping gestured that he flipped Danis the bird. ‘The Count’ added, “But he’s put on Twitter that I ran away from him.
