Say what you will about Bellator prospect Dillon Danis, but he knows how to get people talking.

Three days after a submission victory over a 2-5 late replacement in his MMA debut at Bellator 198, a host of prominent MMA personalities including Michael Chandler, Ben Askren, and Michael Bisping have weighed in with their seething assessments of Danis’ performance and/or personality.

While almost none of it has been positive, it’s safe to say Danis has been able to get the mixed martial arts world focused on him during a slow week without a UFC event to build to this weekend.

Love him or hate him – and it appears most hate him – the touted Brazilian jiu-jitsu wiz’s scope of attention and star power is growing each day, something that could also be said about the meteoric rise of his good friend and training partner, Conor McGregor.

If his overall fighting skills can ever match the heat he incites out of the cage, look out.
