‘Conor McGregor Doesn’t Give a Sh*t About You’: KSI Rubs Salt on Dillon Danis’ Wounds With a Challenge Ahead of Their Fight

The bad blood between KSI and Dillon Danis is getting worse by the day, and the trash talk has been nothing short of brutal as their highly anticipated fight on March 29th at the AO Arena in Manchester approaches. After their press conference last week, things have only escalated, with KSI coming after Danis where it hurts the most—his relationship with Conor McGregor.

Danis and McGregor used to be training partners, most notably ahead of the Irishman’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in 2018. Funnily enough, when Khabib jumped the cage after beating Conor, Danis was the one he jumped at.

But since then, Conor seems to have sidelined Danis. And that is something KSI is not willing to let the former Bellator fighter forget.

“Conor McGregor, your best friend, doesn’t give a shit about you.”, he said. 

Poking further at Danis, KSI joked that Conor wouldn’t even acknowledge him anymore since he had better things to do, like “be a racist and smoke cigars“.

“When was the last time he supported you in the public eye lol? I bet you can’t even get him to tweet that he’s backing you for your fight hahaha.” KSI tweeted.

It’s a low blow but also a calculated one. KSI is clearly trying to rattle Danis’ confidence by attacking his loyalty to McGregor, who’s often been his biggest inspiration and, according to Danis, a close friend.

The problem? KSI’s words aren’t completely baseless. McGregor hasn’t made any public statements about Danis’ upcoming fight or any of the other times he has been in trouble in the last few years.

And ‘The Nightmare‘ isn’t the only one claiming the relationship between Danis and Conor is a one-sided affair. In fact, the American himself spoke about feeling upset when he saw the Irishman hanging out with the Paul brothers.

Danis feels betrayed by Conor

Earlier this year, ‘The Notorious’ was on the same bus as the Paul brothers as they made their way to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. McGregor was sitting with Pam Stepnick, mother to the Paul brothers, and was cracking jokes with all three of them.

And all this took place while his former teammate Danis was locked in a huge lawsuit battle with Logan. The older Paul brother had sued Danis after the latter had tried to shoot for takedowns against him in a boxing match. This had come after Logan’s fiance, Nina Agdal, had sued him for ‘revenge p*rn’.

On an episode of the Ariel Helwani Show, Danis finally spoke about his situation with the Pauls and how Conor getting chummy with them made him feel.

“[Logan Paul] is trying to ruin my life and trying to take money from my kid’s mouth,” Danis said. “And [Conor McGregor] has been through lawsuits, so he knows what it’s like to be sued. It sucks. That’s why it kind of hurt.”, he added. 

In McGregor’s defense, he has aspirations of his own. He was trying to secure a boxing match against ‘The Maverick’ in India this year which would have made him more than a few million dollars.
