Conor McGregor and his teammates have been training with rising jiu-jitsu player, Dillon Danis, in advance of the featherweight champ’s rematch with Nate Diaz.

Recently Danis posted a photo of himself and McGregor at the Straight Blast Gym in Dublin, Ireland. The team’s head coach, John Kavanagh, has also done the same. Danis is a black belt under vaunted grappler Marcelo Garcia, and has won multiple grappling titles, despite being just 22 year’s old.

Diaz – McGregor II has been booked for UFC 202 on August 20th, after the latter submitted the Irish star at UFC 196 earlier this year.

what you gonna do.

An honor to have @dillondanis join us on the mat for a couple weeks training. Phenomenal grappler.
