"What’s he gonna say now?" - Dillon Danis claims his appearance on Ariel Helwani's podcast is now the most viewed interview of the year
Dillon Danis recently appeared on Ariel Helwani's show The MMA Hour. The interaction between the pair went viral on social media as Helwani asked Danis some tough questions and the former UFC fighter had trouble answering them honestly. The talk show host and pundit even went on to trash-talk Conor McGregor's former training partner on Twitter.
In response to all the hate he has been receiving, Danis tweeted out saying:
"The most viewed interview of the year in 6 days! What’s Ariel gonna say now?"
With 854k views, Ariel Helwani's interview with Dillon Danis became the most-viewed MMA Hour interview on the page this year. The previous record was 853k, which was the Israel Adesanya interview following his loss to Alex Pereira. Danis is using this as leverage against Helwani, reminding him that despite the trolls and the hate, he still delivered the most-watched interview on his channel.

Following the controversial victory, Dillon Danis called out 'The Baddy' and had this to say about a potential fight between them:
"If I don’t finish Paddy Pimblett in under 2 mins, I’ll retire and delete all social media forever, plus give everyone who likes this 1k each."

Although Danis claims he does pay everyone that wins, Helwani had a hard time believing him because he keeps promising thousands of dollars in every tweet.
