“No, he didn’t connect,” Danis said when asked if Khabib managed to hit hi during the entire scuffle.
“You know what’s funny? When he jumped over the thing, and he had his feet and his arms up, so like, he didn’t really know what he was going to hit me with. So I was like am I going to get kicked right now or punched? I kind of just blocked then I hit him with a right hand. And then I remember him coming forward and I was uppercutting him, and then he was just trying to run away, and I was trying to grab his head.”

“I remember hitting him with a good amount of shots, and then I just remember him trying to pull away and run away from me, and I was trying to cup his head and uppercut him. But it was mayhem. Everything happened so fast.”
Dillon Danis will corner Conor McGregor yet again, depends on if he decides to pay the fine. Which of course is given, since McGregor or his team would definitely want their jujutsu coach by their side.
