What has friend of Conor McGregor Dillon Danis said about Jake Paul fighting Anderson Silva

Dillon Danis and Conor McGregor (left), Jake Paul and Anderson Silva (right) [Images courtesy of @KingMcgregorFC on Twitter] and have been close friends for many years now, and the two fighters have often had each other's backs during various controversies. Danis recently used his large Twitter following to call out social media star , who is scheduled to fight under boxing rules in October. Silva is of course a former UFC middleweight champion, but the Brazilian is now 47-years-old and retired from MMA after losing his last three UFC bouts. Nonetheless, Danis wasn't impressed by the announcement and seemingly believed Silva would be an easy fight for Paul: Anderson Sliva is 47 years old of course Jake is fighting him… Anderson Sliva is 47 years old of course Jake is fighting him…Anderson Sliva is 47 years old of course Jake is fighting him… Dillon Danis has had a strange MMA career, and has never reached the heights of his close friend Conor McGregor in the sport. The 29-year-old has only ever fought twice as a professional MMA fighter, winning both bouts via submission under the Bellator banner. Despite his lack of action inside the cage, 'El Jefe' is a well known name in the MMA world, mainly due to his self-promoting abilities on social media. It was last year that Jake Paul was close to fighting Danis under boxing rules. The fight talks eventually broke down after the MMA fighter suffered an injury while training.

Prime squad card in January? As long as I get to fuck up Logan Paul famously took on in a boxing match, proving that the businessman and social media star isn't afraid of a tough bout. As mentioned, Dillon Danis has limited experience in MMA. He has also struggled in the submission grappling scene, losing to , AJ Agazarm and Max Gimenis - only beating back in 2015. However, given that Danis has previously trained with Conor McGregor, the Irishman could likely help get his close friend ready for a boxing bout against Paul, given McGregor's amazing striking abilities.
