“You Are So Irrelevant It’s Not Even Funny”: Fans Up in Arms Against Conor McGregor’s Sparring Partner After Picture of Him With “Beast” Alex Pereira Went Viral

Dillon Danis knows how to grab the attention of MMA fans. Danis is Conor McGregor‘s best buddy and one of the most controversial figures in the combat sports world. He often infuriates fans with his carefree and self-centered attitude. Danis often posts pictures with top UFC fighters. Some of his captions even directly indicate that he is superior to them. This often paves the way for harsh reactions from the fans. Recently, ‘El Jefe’ shared a picture with former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira. Pereira’s last fight paved the way for a huge loss for the fighter. When ‘Poatan’ and Israel Adesanya locked horns for the fourth time for the UFC middleweight belt, it was Adesanya who won the battle. ‘Stylebender’ was able to knock out the Brazilian fighter in the second round.

After losing his middleweight championship, ‘Poatan’ decided to move up to light heavyweight to fight Jan Blachowicz. The bout between Pereira and Blachowicz will take place at UFC 291. It seems that to fight the 40-year-old, Pereira is training hard on his grappling skills, and Danis is helping him with the same. However, the fans believe that posting an image with Pereira is yet another publicity stunt from ‘El Jefe.

Alex Pereira trains with Conor McGregor’s sparring partner

 Danis is famous among MMA fans as the sparring partner of UFC superstar Conor McGregor. He established his presence in the combat sports world, first as a grappler and then as a trainer. He has not fought a single fight in the last four years. However, Danis often captures the attention of the fans by calling out famous fighters. Now, he has attracted a lot of eyeballs by posting a picture with the mighty ‘Poatan’. From the post by ‘El Jefe’, it is clear that the two posed for a photo after their training session. Under the photo, Danis wrote, “The game is in for a rude awakening.” After coming across the post, Conor McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, commented, “Ok now it’s getting interesting.” The fans were highly disappointed to see Pereira with Danis.

Let’s check out how they reacted to the post.

 One of the fans commented on the inactivity of ‘El Jefe.’

“Bro you don’t even fight? You are so irrelevant it’s not even funny. Just give it up. Bruh“

 Another fan felt that the photo was taken after Danis paid for it.
