In the lead-up to UFC 229, SBG Ireland’s Dillon Danis boldly stated that teammate Conor McGregor could beat Khabib Nurmagomedov in a pure grappling match.
Just one month later, ‘The Eagle’ submitted ‘The Notorious’ with a neck crank in the fourth round of the UFC 229 main event to retain his lightweight title and cement himself as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
On Tuesday, Danis posted a contemplative Tweet regarding expectation and preparation, which elicited a sharp response from Ben Askren.
‘Funky’ suggested that Danis’ inadequate coaching was to blame for McGregor’s loss to Khabib at UFC 229.
