Dillon Danis, a decorated black belt under Marcelo Garcia, was recently tasked to help out Conor McGregor ahead of his UFC rematch against Nate Diaz. The BJJ champ recently spoke about the Irishman's skill set, and he was very complimentary of McGregor's grappling.
"Conor is a great fighter," Danis told Flo Grappling. "If I was here, or if I wasn't here, he would still be a great fighter."
"It's unfair," he said about the criticism on McGregor's grappling. "Conor is amazing on the ground. One submission loss doesn’t mean anything."
"If you go to a jiu-jitsu tournament and a guy loses by submission you’re gonna say 'ok that guy sucks'?
