Dillon Danis shares private messages with UFC star Ian Garry’s wife from 2018 – after she hit back at trolls calling her a gold digger and defended her relationship with new husband

Dillon Danis has taken to social media to share chat messages from 2018 with the wife of UFC star Ian Garry. 

Danis, in the build-up to his crossover boxing bout with Logan Paul in October, developed a reputation for his internet trolling of Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal.

The MMA star shared several explicit pictures of his rival’s fiancée – some of which appeared to be edited – along with snaps of her cozying up to previous partners.

And just over a month before the fight, he took his personal attacks to a new level by releasing a clip of Agdal discussing her sexual cravings to his one-million followers.

Now, Danis has taken aim at the wife of rising UFC star Garry after she received backlash from fans for writing a book on how to date athletes over a decade ago.

Layla Anna-Lee, 40, has been married to UFC star Ian Garry since February last year

The jiu-jitsu star shared a screenshot of their Instagram messages which showed Layla Anna-Lee, Garry’s wife, sending a ‘praying’ emoji to Danis. 

He responded: ‘Where u from’. Anna-Lee replied: ‘England but half Brazilian. How are you today?’. Danis said: ‘Very cool, doing great. Where do you live?’.

He captioned the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by saying: ‘Morning’ with a heart emoji afterwards. 

UFC star Garry and his partner, Anna-Lee, have been the centre of debate in the MMA world in the past week, after online users brought up ‘How to Be a WAG’.

Many suggested that Anna-Lee’s ‘book’ was essentially a guide for gold diggers and also pointed out the fact that the 40-year-old is 14 years Garry’s senior. 

On Amazon, the description for the book reads: ‘How to be a WAG – the ultimate guide to catching the man of your dreams!

‘The hot new career option is to be a WAG, and we’re here to tell you how to become part of the most prestigious Wives and Girlfriends (WAGs) club. 

‘Ever dreamed of walking in the footsteps of the likes of Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole, or Coleen Rooney? This guide has everything you need to know!’

However, Anna-Lee, who works as a TV sports presenter, took to Instagram to respond to the backlash in a fiery statement last week.

Taking to her Instagram story, she said: ‘I wrote a book called ‘How to be a WAG’. Now, that statement itself is a little bit of a stretch. I can hardly call myself an author of an 11-page audible-only satire story that was written in 2010.

‘That context is key because that was during the FIFA World Cup when I was working at OK and various different gossip mags. We were creating this hilarious satire and look at wives and girlfriends in football.

‘That satirical book, if you listen to it, is really silly and anybody who takes it as fact has completely missed the mark.

‘At the time, it was a huge success. It went out, it was funny, and people got the joke.’
