Dillon Danis has emerged as one of mixed martial arts’ (MMA) most notable characters. Largely due to his affiliation with UFC mega-star Conor McGregor.
Danis has become a regular training partner and friend of the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion. Since their alliance, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu standout has begun a career in MMA, fighting under the Bellator banner.
While his grappling skills are amongst the best in the sport, he also has the opportunity to train with one of the best strikers in McGregor on a regular basis. Speaking to The New York Post recently, Danis compared his friendship with “Notorious” to “getting to watch Muhammad Ali every day”:
“He’s a big brother to me. It’s like getting to watch Muhammad Ali every day,” Danis said. “He teaches me that the things you say .?.?. are important.”
Danis currently prepares to make his return to the cage on June 14, as he takes on Max Humphrey at Bellator 222 in New York City. He made his professional MMA debut back in April of last year, submitting Kyle Walker. Now, Danis hopes to make it two in a row against Humphrey next month.
As for McGregor, he is currently awaiting news on his fighting future, as he has yet to come to terms with the UFC on a return bout. There are no shortage of challengers at 155 pounds, but there’s no doubt the Irishman will demand a hefty payday before getting back into fighting action.

UFC President Dana White holds Conor McGregor in very high regard.
He holds him in such high regard that he considers the Irishman his version of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. White was recently part of a FOX News feature in which he discussed “The Notorious.”
White said that immediately after having dinner with McGregor for the first time several years ago, he knew the Irishman would become a star (quotes via MMA Mania):
“He’s my [Muhammad] Ali. He’s my [Mike] Tyson,” White said. “He burst onto the scene and I knew the minute I sat down and had dinner with him that this kid was going to be a star.
“I didn’t know if he’d be able to fight and I didn’t know if he’d be able to win a title, but I knew he was going to be a star.”
White has mentioned McGregor in the same breathe as Ali and Tyson before. Back in 2015 White mentioned McGregor’s gift of gab reminded him of the former heavyweight champion:
”He is the greatest mental warfare fighter I have ever met,” he said. “Ever. The best. He doesn’t just **** with the guys he’s going to fight. He fucks with everybody.
“I know it’s sacrilege to compare anybody to Muhammad Ali in anything in the fight business. You don’t ever want to be comparing people to Muhammad Ali, but he’s the only one who comes to mind when it comes to the mental warfare that Conor wages.”
As for McGregor’s Octagon future, his return is set. McGregor will challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight championship. The action goes down on October 6th in the main event of UFC 229 on pay-per-view (PPV) from Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGregor hasn’t fought in the UFC in nearly two years. In his absence he has been stripped of two UFC titles – featherweight and lightweight. He’ll attempt to once again reign as the top dog at 155 pounds.
