Former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor has offered unconventional advice to his former teammate Dillon Danis ahead of Danis' upcoming boxing debut. Danis is gearing up for a showdown against Logan Paul, the former YouTuber turned boxer, scheduled for October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester.
McGregor, known for his fiery personality in the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), recently left a comment on a video posted by Danis on his official X account in anticipation of this highly awaited match.
In his comment, McGregor stated, "Let's go, brother! Logan's broken. Broken wrist. Broken heart. Pull guard and break his leg. Depending. Enjoy! Cash in time. Well done! Respect. Make the walk and you a winner."
Dillon Danis, aged 30, is a former MMA talent with a Black Belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He has been honing his stand-up skills in preparation for his transition to the world of boxing.
McGregor, unable to directly assist Danis in his training, seems to believe that the best path to victory for his friend might involve disregarding the strict rules of boxing, a tactic similar to what Nate Diaz once hinted at during his clash with Jake Paul.
Notably, McGregor's advice to "pull guard and break his leg" is a suggestion that goes against the established rules of boxing. Such a move would be permissible in the realms of MMA and jiu-jitsu, where submission techniques are employed on the ground. However, it's a clear departure from the standard boxing regulations.
