It’s no secret that Danis and Askren have had their share of verbal spats. Danis has said that “Funky” would be an easy fight for him (via MMAFighting)
“I feel like I am the one to beat his undefeated record. It would, I think, be a ground fight and it would be an easy submission for me. He does not like leg attacks. I know his game very well. I feel like he would be scared to go to the ground with me. So, yeah. I believe it would be an easy fight.”
Askren fired back on Twitter by calling Danis the “secret lover” of Conor McGregor. Danis and McGregor train together at SBG Ireland.
“Yo [Conor McGregor] have you stopped the weekly payments to your BJJ coach/secret lover [Dillon Danis]? He is getting pretty desperate for attention.”
