McGregor Predicts Danis' Future in the UFC
Conor McGregor is confident that his friend and training partner Dillon Danis will be signed by the UFC, despite his recent loss to Logan Paul. Danis, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert, has been campaigning for a UFC contract for several months. McGregor fully supports Danis' pursuit and believes it's just a matter of time before he steps into the octagon.
Danis' Relentless Pursuit of a UFC Contract
Since his disqualification in the October Misfits melee, Danis has been relentless in his calls to join the UFC. He has continued to campaign for a contract, even after his loss to Logan Paul. McGregor applauds Danis' determination and hopes that he stays the course, expressing his desire to see Danis in the promotion.
Danis' Star Power and Potential
Danis, a former Bellator welterweight, believes that his newfound star power, gained through a social media campaign against Paul's fiancee, would translate to big numbers for the UFC. He is confident in his ability to sell fights and is eager to prove himself against any opponent. Danis is ready to take on the biggest challenges and wants the opportunity to showcase his skills in the UFC.
Dana White's Response to Danis' Potential Signing
UFC President Dana White has been questioned about the promotion's interest in Danis. However, White stated that he hasn't even considered the possibility. While Danis' potential remains up in the air, McGregor and his friend are hopeful that the UFC will recognize the value Danis can bring to the organization.
Both McGregor and Danis have been out of action for some time. Danis hasn't competed in mixed martial arts for over four years due to injury and the pandemic. McGregor, on the other hand, suffered a leg injury in his last fight and is set to make his comeback next year against Michael Chandler.
