Dillon Danis told he "fell apart" when he started training with Conor McGregor

Dillon Danis Conor McGregor Gordon Ryan Nate Diaz Bellator UFC

Dillon Danis has been told by his jiu-jitsu rival Gordon Ryan that his career fell apart after partnering up with UFC star Conor McGregor.

Danis, 29, is mostly known for his relationship with former two-weight UFC champion McGregor despite winning gold in several jiu-jitsu tournaments. The American, who earned his jiu-jitsu black belt in 2015, was brought in by McGregor to help improve his ground game after being choked out by Nate Diaz in the first UFC defeat of his career.

He remained one of McGregor's main training partners after the Irishman beat Diaz in their rematch and Danis even brawled with Khabib Nurmagomedov following his 2018 grudge fight against McGregor. Ryan, who is widely considered to be the greatest no–gi grappler of all time, thinks Danis' career has only gone downhill since working with McGregor.
