Conor McGregor: Coach issues savage response to Michael Bisping’s dig
DILLON DANIS has hit back at Michael Bisping after the former UFC middleweight champion accused him of trying to emulate Conor McGregor.

Bisping took aim at the Brazilian jiu-jitsu phenom during a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, branding him an ‘overwashed, hand-me-down version’ of ‘The Notorious’.
"Not only is he Conor McGregor's jiu-jitsu coach, he's seeming to try to morph and copy McGregor's antics,” Bisping said of Danis. “Certainly his clothing.
“Conor does wear some f*****g really nice, cool shit and Dillon Danis is like the poor, second-hand, overwashed, hand-me-down version because his clothes are f*****g terrible.
“But, he's trying to be Conor so hard, it's laughable. He even said, 'After this weekend, I will own Bellator.' That sounds vaguely like a line where Conor said, 'I will own boxing.'"
Danis didn’t take too kindly to Bisping’s comments and took aim at Britain’s first UFC belt holder yesterday morning.

Danis, 24, made his long-awaited mixed martial arts debut last weekend at Bellator 198, which took place at Chicago’s Allstate Arena.

The Marcelo Garcia black belt's pro debut was a successful one as he defeated Kyle Walker via first-round submission.
Not long after bagging his first professional win, Danis made a beeline for the recently-retired Ben Askren.
Danis explained his eagerness to fight the Olympian earlier this week during an appearance on The MMA Hour, saying: “I feel like I am the one to beat his undefeated record.

“It would, I think, be a ground fight and it would be an easy submission for me. He does not like leg attacks.
“I know his game very well. I feel like he would be scared to go to the ground with me.
“So, yeah. I believe it would be an easy fight.”
