Drama has now become the middle name of combat sports. This time, it’s Dillon Danis stirring the pot. The guy who’s more famous for his social media antics than his fighting career has stepped up his game. He is now targeting the loved legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
So, what did Danis do? He cooked up a fake DM. It’s supposed to be Khabib Nurmagomedov reacting to a model’s picture in Dillon’s story with a fire emoji. This seems scandalous at first, but fans have to remember that Danis is known for these types of attention-grabbing screenshots.
Dillon Danis posted this bombshell with a single word: “Haram.” For those not in the know, that’s Arabic for “forbidden.” He is indirectly taunting Nurmagomedov’s virtuous and modest lifestyle according to Muslim beliefs.
Meanwhile, Khabib’s probably somewhere in Dagestan, blissfully unaware of this whole circus. But the question remains: Why does Dillon do this? Is he desperate for attention? Bored? Or maybe he just really, really doesn’t like Khabib. Well, only he can tell, and he most likely won’t.
Fans Reacted To Dillon Danis’ Attempt To Humiliate Khabib Nurmagomedov
Dillon Danis, the man who never met a controversy he didn’t like, is stirring the pot once more. This time, the undefeated ‘Eagle,’ Khabib Nurmagomedov, is his target. The duo have a heated history. It all started back in the day when Danis was Conor McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach. Remember that infamous post-fight brawl at UFC 229? Danis was right in the thick of it.
Fans took to the comment section and revealed their reactions. Some fans were quick to call this a fake. Some fans played along, pretending to be shocked. Others used it as an opportunity to roast Danis’ less-than-stellar fighting record.
