YouTube star KSI has blasted back at UFC legend Conor McGregor after he called the Brit a "friendly little nerd" ahead of his fight with Dillon Danis.
McGregor and Bellator MMA fighter Danis have been close friends for years since beginning to train together in 2016, but due to injuries and other issues outside of the cage, they haven't seen each other in a long time. The New York native still has his friend's support, but is not working with McGregor or his gym for his boxing debut against KSI.
And despite claiming to have no interest in YouTube boxing, McGregor waded into the KSI vs Danis feud ahead of their January 14 fight at the OVO Arena Wembley, slamming the social media star as a "friendly little nerd". He also claimed that his pal should return to MMA, where he is 2-0, as opposed to boxing the Brit next month for a massive payout.
