CONOR MCGREGOR has revealed his prediction for pal Dillon Danis’ clash with Logan Paul.
The pair collide in an eagerly-anticipated influencer showdown in Manchester a week on Saturday.
Despite having twice competed in MMA, Danis goes into the clash with the YouTuber-turned-boxer as a 5/1 underdog.
But long-time pal and training partner McGregor expects the BJJ ace to defy the odds and batter the elder Paul brother.
The Notorious told All Out Fighting: “Dillon’s gonna win, Dillon will win.”
McGregor, 35, had plans to train with Danis ahead of the lucrative crossover fight.

But they fell through after his pal welcomed his first child into the world.
The UFC’s poster boy said: “You know, he had the baby, we didn’t get to train together.”
Barring a few clips on social media, Danis has kept most of his training under wraps – so much so that even McGregor is in the dark about how his camp is going.
He admitted: “So, I don’t know the ins and outs. I know he’s doing well, he’s still training and he’s gonna go for it.

“He’s had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon’s good.”
The build-up to the fight has been dominated by Danis’ controversial social media trolling of Paul’s finance Nina Agdal.
The New Yorker has repeatedly shared photos of the model with her past flames on Twitter, with each post inviting a pile on from trolls.
Agdal was recently granted a restraining order after claiming Danis’ targeted campaign caused her to suffer ” humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm”.
She’s also accused Danis of sharing hacked content from her Snapchat and a private photograph from a “romantic encounter” with a former lover ten years ago.
Despite the relentless trolling, Agdal WILL be in attendance for her future hubby’s Manchester melee with Danis.
Paul revealed: “Nina is a warrior, dude. Dillon Danis is a puddle.
“Dillon Danis on Twitter, on X, behind a keyboard, is much different than Dillon Danis in person. I saw it, I witnessed it face to face. Just two separate entities.
“And that night, in particular, will be incredibly glorious.
