Over the past few months, BJJ world champion Dillon Danis has become a more recognizable name with MMA fans, mainly due to increased publicity as one of Conor McGregor’s training partners. He also called out former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones to grappling match and channeled his inner McGregor and told the suspended fighter to “beg me for it.” In his most recent interview, Danis set his sights on lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Asked to discuss the potential Khabib vs. McGregor lightweight title fight, Danis dismissed the notion that the Dagestani native was a dangerous opponent for the Irishman.
