Dilllon Danis Talks Never Backing Down, Money And What’s Next For Him

Dilllon Danis Talks Never Backing Down, Money And What’s Next For Him

 

 

Dillon Danis has been the center of plenty of controversy lately. Young grappler might’ve gotten some more of his attitude being around MMA superstar Conor McGregor but he won’t shy away from any challenge.

That’s what I always do, I go out there and I fight and I get in your face and I go to take your head off.

That’s what he told flograppling just now when they caught up with him after Marcelo Garcia and John Danaher burying the hatchet.

Danaher & Garcia Agree on Ceasefire Between Rival New York Teams

When urged to elaborate Danis said:

I train with the best team in the World, gi or no-gi. I have the best gi champions in the world, Marcelo Garcia and Bernardo Faria. I’m always prepared for any tournament. I have the best team in the world, and I train with a lot of the best teams in the world. I have that luxury, I have a lot of good friends in the sport and good training partners. Whenever I compete I’m always ready and I always have an army behind me.

As for competing for money, Danis is always looking to improve the score:

“Professional jiu-jitsu – you make money generally, so it’s more my thing. Money is a good thing. I just like to fight. It doesn’t matter. I’m not the guy who’s going to do something because of the money, I usually do it because I love it. “

Many speculated it would be Danis facing up against Ryan recently but it was two of the younger members of their respective teams. As for what’s next for Danis- he’s excited to be a part of the Five Grappling Super League:

” I really like those tournaments where eight men go in and one guy wins. There’s something special about tournaments to me. It feels good, I like that kind of format. I’m really looking forward to going in and testing myself.

The Five Super League is a gi tournament. People might think I’m a no-gi guy. I said this since the beginning, gi or no-gi – it makes no difference to me. I’ve been training both since I was 15. I won the Worlds in both gi and no-gi at brown belt. I’m at the same level in each one.”
