Promising His Return Despite USADA Complications, Conor McGregor’s Training Update With Controversial Friend Doesn’t Sit Well With Fans -“Might as Well Grapple Tik Tokers”

Conor McGregor is back training with Dillon Danis on his birthday. He turned thirty-five today and shared a post on Instagram after wrapping up a training session with his long-time teammate. However, the fans didn’t seem too thrilled about the fact that he’s still with Danis.

It has been a long time since we’ve seen Dillon Danis compete in a professional MMA fight. However, he’s kept himself busy training with several fighters. Danis set social media on fire after he was seen training with former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira. Now, he is back training with his long-time teammate, Conor McGregor.

McGregor’s recent sparring session caused a stir among his fans and followers. The former UFC double champion is anticipated to make his comeback this year amidst the USADA fiasco. However, before his eventual return to the Octagon, he stopped by New York at the New York Athletic Club.

This fitness club only allows people to be a member only through a formal invitation. Meanwhile, McGregor and Danis apparently had a session that the Irishman called “Great Work.” Furthermore, he even praised Dillon Danis in the post. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say on Instagram.

Fans react after witnessing Conor McGregor with Dillon Danis

The fans were happy to see Conor McGregor back in training. However, they were not very sure about how to react to Dillon Danis. They claim that the Bellator fighter is “delusional.” Moreover, some fans suggest that McGregor should consider training with TikTokers since he still trains with the Bellator fighter. Here are some of the reactions from fans.

• I’ll always be a fan Conor, but Dillon just ain’t it. Dude is delusional…
• Might as well grapple tik tokers for better work
• I love how Conor is embracing the fact that he is a striker and nothing else. What a better way to prove that than by training BJJ with Dillon Danis.
• Awwww Conor spending time with his cleaner. So humble
• Bro is 0-7
• CONOR PLEASE STOP TRAINING WITH THIS GUYYYY
• Putting in the work being this accomplished is Goated.

The fans claim that training with Dillon Danis won’t help Conor McGregor enhance his grappling skills. One user on Instagram called the Bellator fighter the Irishman’s “cleaner.” They also reminded McGregor about his team’s winless stats on this season’s TUF. However, they all praised the former double champion for actively training when he’s achieved almost everything he can in the sport of MMA.

Even though McGregor has continued to train for his return, his return is still in doubt. Dana White mentioned earlier that he will fight this year. However, he didn’t provide any timeline as to when ‘Notorious’ will fight. We will have to wait and see how this situation unfolds.
