The trash talk got a bit too personal as expected from the fighters. He called out McGregor as well as Danis’ ex Savannah who separated from the fighter. Marcelo Garcia is Danis’ former BJJ coach and Scott Coker is the well-known CEO of Bellator where Danis is a fighter.

However, the BJJ fighter has not truly been abandoned by McGregor.  ‘The Notorious’ soon took to the internet to express just that after the fight. The fighter didn’t hold it back in his voice note over X, making sure Paul got his reply.
