Conor McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis punched by Jake Paul sparring partner after attacking KSI at weigh-in

Dillon Danis was on the receiving end of a right hand from Jake Paul's sparring martner Anthony Taylor after attacking KSI at Friday's Misfits Boxing weigh-in.

The Bellator welterweight and friend of Conor McGregor was in Austin, Texas amid reports that he may be the YouTube star's next opponent, with an announcement due on Saturday. And he brought his trolling to the real world when during the weigh-ins for the weekend's event he threw a punch at KSI during a staredown between the pair, leading to carnage at the fighter hotel.

Danis was quickly escorted out of the conference room where the weigh-ins were taking place, but was followed by fellow loudmouth fighter Anthony Taylor. The ex-Bellator lightweight, who recently dominated Love Island's Jack Fincham in a boxing exhibition, goaded Danis and ultimately threw a right hand which wobbled the Bellator star, reports The Mirror.
