UFC News: Team Conor McGregor Takes a Shot at Khabib After ‘Road House’ Debut Success

The much-anticipated wait is finally over, as Conor McGregor made his Hollywood debut with ‘Road House’ on March 21. ‘Mystic Mac’ played the role of ‘Knox’ in the movie alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. Despite facing issues with his return date, McGregor impressed everyone with his performance in the movie. It will now be interesting to see whether he features in any more projects or not.

However, things have taken a completely new turn after the movie’s release. In a recent Instagram post by ESPN MMA, Dillon Danis mocked a long-time rival of Conor McGregor with his comments. But whom did he mock? Let us find out.

Dillon Danis mocks Khabib Nurmagomedov with his comment

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor have featured in one of the most fierce rivalries of the UFC ever. The pair met at UFC 229 to settle the score for once and for all. ‘The Eagle’ dominated the fight and won it by submitting the former two-division champion in the fourth round. However, what followed was utter chaos as the Dagestani fighter jumped out of the Octagon and attacked Dillon Danis (a friend of McGregor at that time). It now seems that the former welterweight fighter is yet to recover from the attack. In a recent Instagram post by ESPN MMA, he took the time to mock the former lightweight king.

The post pointed out all previous UFC fighters who featured in a Hollywood movie. However, Danis took this opportunity to start a beef with ‘The Eagle’. He commented, ‘Khabib was in ratatouille’ and shocked the fans. The comment has yet to receive any response from the Dagestani fighter. However, it will be interesting to see whether he catches the attention of the former champion or not. ‘Double D El Jefe’, always finds a way of staying in the news because of all the wrong reasons. However, in a recent development, he is making headlines for all the right reasons. In his recent interview, he revealed about his return to MMA and also about his next opponent.

30-year-old Dillon Danis is all ready to make a return to the Octagon after having retired from the sport. Danis, to date, has featured in two fights and won both of them.

The UFC head honcho Dana White never approached the fighter for a contract which forced the former welterweight to retire from the sport. It now seems that he is ready for his next fight against a former UFC Hall Of Famer.
