Conor McGregor’s controversial training partner looking to fight Super Bowl champion

Dillon Danis, a recent GFL signing and an infamous training partner of Conor McGregor, has picked a fight with Super Bowl winner, Saquon Barkley — off the back of his Philadelphia Eagles’ stunning win over defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs overnight.

Danis, a long-time training partner of former two-weight UFC champion, McGregor, is expected to make his return to mixed martial arts competition later this year, under the banner of the newly-launched, Global Fight League last month.

And linked immediately with a particular opponent, grappling ace, Danis has been urged to take on former interim UFC lightweight titleholder, Tony Ferguson — which would come as his first outing in the sport since a first round armbar submission win over Max Humphrey back in 2019.
