Dillon Danis, an outstanding grappler who started his MMA journey with Bellator back in 2018 has only two fights on his resume but his fame has skyrocketed because of his controversies within the fight game. The former trainer and companion of Conor McGregor  involves himself in some controversy or the other every other day. It has now become his niche. It’s his way of marking his presence in the mainstream. Interestingly, while he was on a long layoff due to injuries, he had an infamous altercation with the Youtuber turned boxer KSI. He threw coffee at the latter and eventually it turned into a feud that was going to translate into a boxing match.

Yes, KSI and Danis were supposed to square off in the boxing ring on January 14. But unfortunately, it could not reach fruition as Danis pulled out from the fight. In the midst of this timeline, Danis’ appeared on renowned journalist Ariel Helwani’s show The MMA Hour. The duo had a lot of bad blood in the past so they decided to sort out the previous misconceptions but it did not happen.

Instead, they kept on taking personal shots at each other. Throughout the interview, one thing remained common, that is trash talk filled with derogatory remarks. As a result, when the interview was released, it caught fans’ attention and racked up millions of views, becoming one of the most-watched episodes of the talk show.

Boasting about these numbers, Danis took to Twitter on Thursday, February 23, and targeted his rivals Jake Paul and KSI. He made a comparison of the Youtube viewing numbers of his appearance on the MMA hour and the other two prominent youtubers. Recently ‘The MMA Hour’ took interviews with Paul and KSI and released them on YouTube.

Danis shared a picture and wrote, “The numbers speak for themselves.”

This drew fans’ attention and they gave a reality check to Danis.

How did fans react to Dillion Danis taking a dig at Jake Paul and KSI?

A fan wrote, “To be fair your fake giveaways do garner more interest than your actual ‘content’.”

Another fan gave a reasonable take. He mentioned that Paul and KSI’s interview came up recently and as time will pass, views on them also increase.
