The Mat Episode 1: Dillon Danis

The MMA debut of Dillon Danis has come and gone! The grappling superstar now improves to 1-0 inside the Bellator cage after he submitted Kyle Walker just two minutes into the first round.

Billed as the biggest debut in MMA history Danis lived up to the hype with a spectacular toe hold finish. In his post-fight speech he had this to say:

I feel great. I said this before I came in, no one has experienced submissions like this, it's on a whole new level.

Danis' debut wasn't without adversity, however. He did take a few punches from the power striker Walker but Danis shrugged off the bad luck.

"At the end of the day, I'm a samurai. I came in here to die," Danis said.

All signs point to Bellator striking gold with the confident grappler. But as always Dillon stayed true to his roots and gave a shout out to what go him here.

That's just jiu-jitsu. I gave you guys a free seminar on how jiu-jitsu beats MMA.
