      Dillon Danis plans to confront Conor McGregor after UFC legend poses for pictures with rivals Jake and Logan Paul

      by

      DILLON DANIS admits he needs to have words with Conor McGregor for posing with rivals Jake and Logan Paul. Danis – a long-time friend and training partner of McGregor’s – has been feuding with the Paul brothers for years. Dillon Danis with friend and training partner Conor McGregorJake and Logan Paul posed for pictures with Conor McGregorCredit: Instagram @JakepaulHe once had toilet roll chucked on him by Jake and his boxing bout in 2023 against Logan ended up in a legal battle. So when McGregor took pictures with the brothers at Donald Trump’s inauguration in January – Danis was conflicted. He told SunSport: “Yeah, me and him had to talk about that, you know, it is what it is.”I know you guys can decide that, but I think that me and him should talk about that.READ MORE IN BOXING”It shouldn’t be in the media but we haven’t had the chance to talk about it yet.”McGregor, 36, had both Pauls by his side in pictures that sent social media into a frenzy. But footage shared by the brothers later revealed there was heated exchanges with the Irishman. Danis, 31, made his boxing debut against Logan, 29, two years ago but farcically got disqualified after attempting an MMA-style submission. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBut the fight did not end there as a brawl broke out in the ring while legal proceedings are now ongoing in court. Danis was sued by Logan’s fiancee Nina Agdal for “revenge porn” with his posts causing “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm.” KSI sparks carnage on press conference stage after slapping Dillon Danis with a PANCAKE ahead of boxing grudge fightAccording to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in 2023, Danis engaged in a “relentless, ongoing campaign of cyber harassment and bullying” directed towards Agdal.The lawsuit alleges that Danis used his social media to “promote the fight and ramp up his feud with Paul.”Danis also allegedly posted “hundreds of posts containing vulgar and disparaging pictures, memes and comments about her.“All the while, Danis has been rewarded for that same conduct through an increased social media following and publicity that has resulted in his offensive posts being viewed more than two billion times to date.”Agdal received a temporary restraining order directing Danis to stop posting “sexually explicit photographs” of her “on the internet without her consent.” In her complaint, she also alleges that he posted a sexually explicit photograph which was never meant to be shared publicly or was “obtained without consent.”A judge granted Agdal the restraining order against Danis, who was forbidden from posting “sexually explicit photographs” of Agdal without her permission.The lawsuit is ongoing – as is Danis’ fight with Logan’s business partner KSI on March 29 – but the American does not regret his actions. He said: “I would regret it if it wasn’t true but everything was on Insta already. Everything was public.”So I mean, I can’t speak too much on the lawsuit, but I don’t regret saying the truth and letting Logan out.”I was trying to help him out and one day he’s gonna thank me, so it is what it is.”Danis was originally set to fight KSI in January 2023 before pulling out – but three years later they finally settle for score in the ring. And carnage broke out at the press conference when KSI slapped Danis with a PANCAKE to spark a brawl on stage. But Danis said just beforehand “I just feel like he’s not equal to me. “I was saying he’s like a little brother to me, so I don’t know, I don’t really care about the guy.READ MORE SUN STORIES”I’m gonna knock him out and get my money and go and fight Tony.
