Conor McGregor is going the extra mile before rematching with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 scheduled for August 20th. Dilon Danis is not the first grappler Conor has wrestled lately but he certainly has much credibility.
Just last week Mjölnir MMA posted a snippet of Conor McGregor training wrestling with another UFC star – Gunnar Nelson.
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. He stands out because of his constant dedication to forward motion as well as crowd friendly playstyle.
The answer to the Stockton born and raised Diaz might just be in East Coast Grappling which some consider more harsh. While this is a matter of opinions McGregor is certainly looking for an answer to Diaz’s skillset.

Diaz has been in some form or another in the UFC since the Ultimate Fighter 5 in 2007. Many of his fights have ended in submissions, namely those versus Alvin Robinson, Kurt Pellegrino, Melvin Gullard, Takanon Gomi and Conor McGregor.
