Conor McGregor pens a thoughtful tweet to Dillon Danis' loss after deleting his initial reaction
UFC star Conor McGregor, like many other combat sports enthusiasts, was heavily invested in the recently concluded MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card. McGregor's teammate and training partner, Dillon Danis, made his boxing debut on the card, taking on Logan Paul.
While Danis' pre-fight shenanigans, especially his attention-grabbing and character-assassinating tactics aimed at Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal became the event's talking point, his performance in the actual fight failed to live up to the hype.
Danis faced disqualification in his bout against Logan Paul, following a chaotic scene in the last round as several security personnel swarmed the ring leading to a post-fight scuffle.
Logan Paul dominated the fight, earning the nod from the judges in the first five rounds. Despite showcasing some decent combinations, they lacked significant impact. The pre-fight hype and the animosity between the two fighters had raised expectations, leaving fans disappointed.
Nevertheless, Conor McGregor expressed his admiration for Danis, even going so far as to claim that 'El Jefe' performed better than Nate Diaz did against Jake Paul. McGregor had previously enlisted Danis' services during his preparation for the UFC 202 rematch against Diaz. Although he deleted his initial tweet from yesterday, he has now taken to X to pen a heartfelt message for Danis, stating:
"What a show, brother! Well done! The world is excited for what’s next! #Legend"
