Conor McGregor’s teammate, Dillon Danis, took a jab at former UFC lightweight kingpin Khabib Nurmagomedov, who served as a corner for Ikram Aliskerov during his fight against Park Jun-yong on the UFC 321 prelims.
Aliskerov entered the bout riding high off a first-round win against Andre Muniz earlier this year. In the fight, he actively initiated wrestling exchanges and landed several effective strikes on the feet. Nurmagomedov, cornering Aliskerov for the first time, provided guidance throughout the contest and helped his compatriot secure a unanimous decision victory.
However, shortly after the fight, Danis took to social media to criticize “The Eagle’s” coaching efforts. He wrote:
“Khabib’s coaching = complete trash #UFC321.”

Nurmagomedov and Danis share a notably heated history. The tension dates back to the UFC 229 main event, where Nurmagomedov famously leapt out of the cage to confront Danis after submitting McGregor. Since then, the two have occasionally traded barbs on social media over the years.

### Eddie Hall Issues Warning to Dillon Danis Ahead of Misfits Bout
British strongman turned fighter Eddie Hall is potentially set to face Dillon Danis in an MMA matchup under the Misfits banner. Hall secured a first-round stoppage victory against Mariusz Pudzianowski in his last outing and now has his sights set on Danis, who fights at a significantly lighter weight.
Hall recently revealed that a deal is in place and that he will be cutting a considerable amount of weight for the fight. In a recent Instagram post, Hall downplayed Danis’ Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills and issued a warning about his own punching power:
“Coming soon. Some say Dillon’s world-class jiu-jitsu will be too much for me. Others say he’s never felt a real punch and I’ve got the hardest recorded punch on the planet. FACT.”
This upcoming clash promises an intriguing contrast of styles and physical attributes, making it a bout to watch for combat sports fans.
