Dillon Danis is hoping to gain the edge for Copa Podio by training with the notorious Conor McGregor. McGregor has been frequently criticized as a bjj player even though he managed to acquire a brown belt.
Dillon Danis is 22 year old black belt from New Jersey. He was given his black belt by Marcelo Garcia who he trains under in Manhattan, New York. He has earned his reputation to a series of incredible wins at brown belt level through some of the hardest competitions around. Here’s what he had to say about Conor’s jiu-jitsu:
“These guys who say these things they don’t know who they’re talking about. It’s all people wanting to start stuff up, y’know… Conor can do whatever he wants. ” – 22 year old Danis said
He continued:
“Conor is amazing on the ground man, One submission loss doesn’t mean anything”, Danis then went on to add “I’m having a blast here learning from him and he’s learning from me.”
