Dillon Danis sees his training partner Conor McGregor running through Floyd Mayweather.
Fans of combat sports are waiting to see if a boxing match between Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title holder Conor McGregor and future boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather will materialize. While “Notorious” hasn’t competed in a professional boxing bout, he’s still willing to fight one of the greatest boxers of all time.
During an appearance on MMAFighting.com‘s “The MMA Hour,” Danis said he believes McGregor will defeat Mayweather quickly:
“I just want to say, everyone is running [McGregor] down, but I think that he knocks [Mayweather] out. That’s a hard one, I’ll say before the fifth. I think before the fifth. I think he knocks him out.”
Danis also responded to the comparison people make between himself and McGregor in terms of trash talking. Danis takes it as a compliment and rips those who say he’s just a wannabe.
“I’m on my own path and I do it my own way. At the end of the day, people are just looking to hate on me for anything, so that’s just how it is. Everybody kind of wants to put me down. They’re trying to find something to use against me. … I don’t really give a s**t about who’s hating on me, or Conor this, Conor that. At the end of the day they just hate me and Conor.”
