Conor McGregor‘s teammate, Dillon Danis, is someone who invites trouble with his brash attitude. He often pokes fun at top UFC fighters on social media. One of Danis’ recent targets was UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. A few days back, Volkanovski won a glorious victory against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290. The two tough fighters came face-to-face for a title unification bout. It was ‘The Great’ who clearly dominated the fight. When the bout reached the third round, Volkanovski defeated Rodriguez via TKO.
‘El Jefe’ has no argument over the greatness of Volkanovski as a fighter. However, he was not at all impressed with what the Australian fighter wore at the ESPYs 2023. Danis, who finds some way or another to make fun of fighters, felt that the UFC featherweight champion looked like the character Penguin from ‘The Batman’.

He decided to use the chance to make fun of Volkanovski.

He tweeted, “Alex Volkanovski is undoubtedly a talented featherweight, but Conor McGregor is the best featherweight of all time.“

Danis has always been a tremendous supporter of McGregor. While the Irishman was in the featherweight division, he achieved a 7-0 winning streak. Even though McGregor ruled the featherweight division as the champion, he never defended his title. On the other hand, the Australian fighter has defended his featherweight belt a whopping five times. Nonetheless, according to Danis, it is McGregor who is the greatest featherweight of all time. What do you think about Dillon Danis’ controversial comment about the UFC featherweight division? Let us know in the comments below.
