DILLON DANIS has threatened to use a brutal MMA move to put Logan Paul to sleep.
The pair are set to clash on the Misfits Boxing "Prime Card" of KSI's fight against Tommy Fury on October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester.
Danis - a multiple Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion - has won two fights in mixed martial arts through first round submissions.
As he appeared on a livestream with influencer Adin Ross, Danis threatened to use a guillotine choke against Paul.
While showing off his grappling skills, he said: "That's the thing with Logan, if we're boxing and he ducks his head at all, I'm going to choke him out."
The 30-year-old then revealed he would look to perform the move regardless of its legality.
