As McGregor’s star has grown in the UFC, it’s shown down on a few of his fellow teammates. Fighters like Paddy Holohan and Artem Lobov have found themselves in headlining slots (albeit Holohan through a number of injuries) and the UFC has regularly raided the gym for talent.
He doesn’t appear to be on his way to the UFC in the near future, but the latest fighter to soak up a little of that light has been BJJ standout, and McGregor training partner, Dillon Danis. A black belt under Marcelo Garcia, Danis made his name in the MMA sphere with repeated callouts of former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
