Ex-Conor McGregor Teammate, Part of Post-fight UFC 229 Brawl With Islam Makhachev, Reacts to His Title Fight Against Charles Oliveira

Conor McGregor is arguably one of the most well-known fighters in UFC history. He is unmatched in terms of entertainment value and has drawn a lot of attention to the promotion. Recently his teammate Dillon Danis reacted to the newly announced lightweight title bout between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.

Following UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. Rodriguez, the UFC announced that Islam Makhachev would face off against Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title, which is currently not possessed by either of them. This bout will take place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi and will be the main event at UFC 280.

Conor McGregor‘s former teammate and training partner Dillon Danis reacted to this fight on Instagram. He replied to the post in the comments with a clown emoji. This hostility towards the fight is expected from Danis, considering that Makhachev is part of Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s camp.

It is no fresh news that McGregor’s camp and Nurmagomedov’s camp have been beefing for quite some time now. The two have disrespected each other publicly on multiple occasions and don’t hesitate to take shots at each other.

This historic bout is one that the fans will never forget. This fight was arguably the most hyped event in UFC history, considering the bad blood between the two fighters. The entire beef started after Nurmagomedov allegedly slapped McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov. This led to McGregor flying to Brooklyn and throwing a dolly at Nurmagomedov’s bus to prompt him to come out.

Because of this incident, McGregor went through a lot of trouble. But a few months later, the two finally fought in the main event of UFC 229. The fighters gave it their all in the octagon, trading blow for blow. McGregor landed a few good shots on Nurmagomedov but didn’t do much damage.

‘The Eagle’ dominated the ground exchanges and took control of the fight. Finally, in the fourth round, Nurmagomedov sunk in a tight neck crank to finish McGregor. But unfortunately, the tale didn’t end here. What followed was a brawl outside the octagon after Nurmagomedov decided to jump into the crowd and attack Danis. Luckily, there were no casualties in the crowd after this situation.
