Okay, here’s my take on Dillon Danis and Paige VanZant, based on what I’ve been playing around with. It’s more about the idea of them together in some creative project than anything concrete, so bear with me.
So, it all started when I was brainstorming content ideas. I was scrolling through fight news and saw some stuff about Dillon Danis being, well, Dillon Danis. Then, I remembered Paige VanZant’s move to bare-knuckle boxing and her OnlyFans stuff. A weird thought just popped into my head: “What if these two collaborated on something?”
I know, sounds random as hell, right? But my brain went into overdrive. My initial thought was some kind of over-the-top, edgy marketing campaign. Like, imagine them doing a series of short, provocative videos. I started sketching out some ideas, focusing on contrasting their personalities. Danis, the notorious trash talker, and VanZant, the tough but also kind of bubbly personality. The contrast felt like it had potential.
First, I started digging around for more info on each of them. I re-watched some of VanZant’s fights and interviews, trying to get a feel for her brand. Then I braced myself and dove into Danis’s Twitter feed. Let’s just say it was… an experience. After that, I started to think about different ways to present the potential collaboration. I looked at campaigns that were polarizing and successful like some of the old Benneton ads, trying to see if I could find a spark to kick off something new.
Then, I hit a wall. I realized that without actual buy-in from either of them, this was just a fantasy project. I tried to think of ways to make it more concrete. Maybe a spec ad campaign targeted at a specific brand? Like a betting company or an energy drink?
I spent a couple of hours mocking up some fake social media posts and video thumbnails, trying to visualize the concept. I even messed around with some AI tools to create some deepfake images of them together, just to see how it would look. It was all very preliminary, just throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks.
Here’s what I actually did:
- Researched both fighters’ public image and career trajectories.
- Brainstormed potential collaboration ideas (marketing campaign, product endorsement, etc.).
- Created mockups of social media posts and video thumbnails.
- Explored AI-generated content for visualization purposes.
Honestly, it didn’t go much further than that. The project kind of fizzled out. But it was a fun exercise in creative thinking. And hey, maybe someday someone will pitch them the idea and they’ll actually do it. Stranger things have happened.
