Fans reckon Dillon Danis is going to get destroyed by Logan Paul after he was spotted on a 'night out in Manchester'.
The MMA star is due to face Paul on Saturday night at the O2 arena in Manchester after months of back and forth between the pair.
There was speculation that the fight may be called off after Danis threw a microphone at Paul's head during a heated press conference earlier this week, drawing blood from his opponent.

However, Paul confirmed the fight would go ahead as usual, tweeting on Thursday: "Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher."
Footage has since emerged of Danis out a cocktail bar on Friday night and taking pictures with fans just 24 hours before he gets in the ring.
Videos and photos went viral on social media appearing to show Danis at Cloud 23 bar, three miles from the fight venue.

However, the American was said to be drinking non-alcoholic beer, suggesting he did have half a mind on the fight ahead.
Upon seeing the footage, fans rushed to social media, with many predicting the worst for Danis.
"Logan Paul gonna officially end his career later," one person replied.
Another wrote: "This man isn’t serious," while another remarked: "Yeah he’s catching hands."

"He is gonna get koed," a fourth said.
A Logan fan then added: "And you’re telling me this guy didn’t want the fight cancelled.
"I hope he gets knockout cause he will be so embarrassed."
Speaking earlier this week, Danis admitted that he didn't like boxing, but the money had tempted him to take the fight.

“I’m not trying to box. MMA is my game," he told talkSPORT. “The money is obviously good in this, I can’t lie.
“When I’m on my death bed and I’m talking to my son, I’m not going to be telling him how I beat Logan Paul. I’m going to be telling him about my world championships and UFC championships. Who the f*** cares about Logan Paul?
“I don’t like boxing, it’s half a fight. When we get into a street fight, I’m not going to say, ‘Hey, let’s go get some gloves.' We are going to fight for real and everyone knows I’m going to strangle him unconscious within seconds."
