Connor McGregor’s grappling coach, Dillon Danis, always finds a way to get his name on the headlines. Previously, ‘El Jefe’ had a lengthy beef with the celebrity boxer Jake Paul – and it wasn’t one sided either Paul famously enlisted the help of Brendan Schaub to ambush Danis and pummel water balloons at him. Recently, Danis slammed MMA journalist, Ariel Helwani in a continuation of their beef.
The instigator of the Nurmagomedov crowd jumping took to his Twitter account to post a series of tweets aimed at Helwani after Helwani dropped some hard truths about Dillon Danis.
Guys if you think life sucks right now just think you could have begged for 3 years to fight an 0-0 YouTuber and 3 years later still not be popular enough or good enough to even be considered a worthy opponent for him. Imagine that.
In other words, you could be @dillondanis.

In the next one, Danis started to slam Helwani’s writing skills and even slammed Helwani’s physical appearance.
“Took me a while to read your insipid, bland, lifeless, Junior High “Journalism”. You’re a terrible writer What did you do with the money your Mommy gave you for writing lessons? God knows you didn’t buy a gym membership with it Your arms look like car antennas”

“You’re lucky you weren’t born before cars had power steering or your wife would have to park the car. Your autobiography is going to be called: NOBODY LEFT TO GET FIRED BY”

The Twitter rants continued and become more intense. On the last one, Dillon Danis also called Helwani a “boring dweeb”.
“And DON’T text me from your 7-Eleven Burner Phone and say it’s “all good” You’re a TWO FACED BUM Go play w/your WWE action figures, You BORING DWEEB.”

Ariel Helwani clearly hurt Danis with his assertions previously. This in turn resulted with the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace rantingonline. Dillon Danis got the taste of his own medicine of annoying a lot of people for the past years.
It’s also worth noting that Danis is finally back to training after going through two knee reconstructions.

Meanwhile Helwani answered by releasing their DMs
I mean, insipid? Really? If you’re gonna ask for a ghost writer at least make sure they use words that you know the definition to. That’s like rule 1.
Anyway, it’s OK. It’s all love bro, right? Happy new year, fellas! Xo pic.twitter.com/0JXKBh1w4c

Also, why would you recycle bapa’s lazy material? I mean, I was just gonna ignore this because we’re all bored of it but now I have to reply just based on the fact that you plagiarized someone else’s work. At least come up with your own lame-o insults guys!
