KSI shreds Conor McGregor in aggressive social media rant ahead of Dillon Danis fight

KSI took aim at Conor McGregor as his latest jibe towards Dillon Danis caught the UFC star in its crossfires.

The YouTube star will take on his long-time rival on March 29 in a Misfits Boxing fight that has surprisingly flown under the radar with minimal promotion from both men. KSI did slap Danis at their press conference last week, but the bout has otherwise failed to gain traction like previous events.

Now, the social media sensation has slammed one of Danis’ closest friends and cast doubt on whether or not they still have a relationship years after last training together.

For years, Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis have been known as close friends, even though they haven’t officially trained together for years. The pair worked as a team for some of the Irishman’s biggest fights including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz.

However, with Danis living in New York with a young child and McGregor travelling the world from a base in Dublin, they rarely see one another these days. KSI used this to mock his rival, tweeting at him: “Conor McGregor, your best friend, doesn’t give a s— about you.

“When was the last time he supported you in the public eye lol? I bet you can’t even get him to tweet that he’s backing you for your fight hahaha. He’d much rather be racist and suck off his cigar than tweet about you.”

In a later tweet, KSI wrote that Danis is “defo underestimating me. Thinks because I’m smaller than Logan Paul, I wont bang as hard and he’ll be able to easily walk me down. He’ll get his money, but idk if it will be worth the beating he’s gonna receive.”

KSI and Dillon Danis have a years-long feud

The fight between KSI and Danis has been brewing for years, and was even booked with tickets on sale two years ago. In January of 2023, the pair were due to compete at Wembley Arena but Danis pulled out due to personal issues and citing contractual problems.

However, he returned to Misfits Boxing that October, taking on Logan Paul in a card that was joint-headlined alongside KSI vs Tommy Fury. The YouTuber is close friends with Paul and business partners in their beverage company Prime.

As a result, he has kept up his problems with Danis as the MMA star mercilessly went after Paul’s family from his brother Jake to his fiancee Nina Agdal. This has kept the feud ongoing between the two, and they finally get to settle it on Saturday March 29.
