Fighters calling out the Notorious Conor McGregor is pretty common, but a fighter calling out Conor and his teammate Danis is quite unprecedented.

Danis is often seen training alongside McGregor and has cornered him at several UFC fights. He competes at the Welterweight division of Bellator MMA and has a 2-0 pro-MMA record.

Danis is an excellent grappler and both of his wins in Bellator have come via submissions in Round 1. However, he doesn’t possess a strong resume in his standup game compared to his wrestling and groundwork.
