Dillon Danis tried to take shots on social media, before multiple other fighters buried him in retaliation.
Dillon Danis, probably most known for being a training partner of Conor McGregor, recently took to social media to take a shot at Jake Shields. He posted a photo from their grappling match, with the caption “hugging my son.”

The pair competed back in 2017 at Submission Underground 4. The problem with Danis’ attempted dig, is that Shields actually defeated him during that contest. The 40-year-old former UFC title contender made sure to point that out in his response.
The former Strikeforce champion also created a poll which you can find below.
I’m actually old enough to be your dad and still easily beat you at your own sport. Your biggest accomplishment is sucking Conor’s dick https://t.co/2YAPVdMTjZ

Shields’ response quickly spread within the MMA community, and multiple other fighters also decided to chime in and react to the situation.

As of this writing, the poll for “Danis’ “top accomplishment in life” has over 27,000 votes, with the leading option being “Conor taking him shopping.”
Danis has yet to tweet since this all happened, which is probably for the best.
