Controversial BJJ champion Dillon Danis recently made himself relevant once again when he started up his relationship with Conor McGregor and posted images of their training session.
Danis also had a training session with the former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira, who is a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu.
He shared an MMA sparring video, where he successfully takes ‘Poatan’ down and maintains control on the ground before the Brazilian stands back up.
We can see Pereira’s anti-grappling style who doesn’t engage on the ground and always tries to get back up.
Danis’ fighting career is still unsure as he recently recovered from a serious leg injury. Danis has a pro MMA record of 2-0 in Bellator but has not competed since 2019.
Bellator president Scott Coker expressed is unsure as to when we will see Danis back in the cage:
“Dillon is a promising individual we had high expectations for,” stated Scott Coker in September when discussing Dillon Danis. “He possesses exceptional talent in jiu-jitsu, but he needs to remain active and display a genuine desire to come back. Sometimes he contacts me expressing his desire to return, but then I don’t hear from him for months. If he truly intends to make a comeback, we will certainly provide him with an opportunity.
Alex Pereira is moving upto the light heavyweight division where he will face former champion Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291 on July 29.
