Conor McGregor lashes out at KSI ahead of Dillon Danis fight: \u201cLittle nerd\u201d YouTube: TheMacLife, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI sent out a warning to \u2018The Notorious\u2019 Conor McGregor as his fight against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis looms on the horizon. KSI is one of YouTube\u2019s most prominent influencer-boxers. After spending two years out of the ring following his viral bouts against Logan Paul, he finally made his comeback in 2022, taking on two fights in one night \u2014 both of which he won. Now, the British creator is set to kick off 2023 with a bang with a fight against MMA star Dillon Danis. The two have been exchanging verbal blows back and forth on social media for the last month, and things are only continuing to heat up as the date draws near. Most recently, fans in the space wondered if Danis\u2019 friendship with combat sports GOAT Conor McGregor was in trouble \u2014 something \u2018The Notorious One\u2019 addressed in a recent Tweet. KSI hits out at Conor McGregor as Dillon Danis fight approaches The questions came about after host Ariel Helwani prodded Danis on the subject during a recent interview on the MMA Hour, where he also discussed his upcoming bout against KSI. According to McGregor, he and Danis are still on good terms. \u201cI am not too sure,\u201d McGregor said of the matter in response to a fan. \u201cMaybe because of the rartem situation? I\u2019m still rockin\u2019 with Dillon. All the way!\u201d KSI took notice of this exchange \u2014 particularly McGregor\u2019s comments about still \u201crockin’\u201d with Danis \u2014 and couldn\u2019t help but send out a little barb toward the Irish fighter. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I\u2019m about do some serious damage to your boy,\u201d he said in a quote reply. It looks like McGregor didn\u2019t take KSI\u2019s comments sitting down. In a Tweet response, he notably called the influencer a \u201cfriendly little nerd.\u201d \u201cBrother, you\u2019re a friendly little nerd I don\u2019t care,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHe should be back doing MMA if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you. I couldn\u2019t care less about this genre of boxing, I am sorry. Have a good one.\u201d KSI was quick to hit back with a biting reply: \u201cWhen you see what I do to Danis January 14th, then you will care\u2026\u201d Logan Paul lashes out at Conor McGregor over KSI spat Now, it looks like Logan Paul has entered the fray, sending a shot toward McGregor\u2019s comment about \u201cgenres\u201d of boxing and making sure to reference his 2021 fight against Floyd Mayweather. \u201cBoxing is boxing,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019m a YouTuber and I still did more damage to Floyd than you.\u201d Even Bryce Hall got in on the action, poking fun at Logan and McGregor by pointing out that, out of both of them, YouTuber Deji was the only one to give Mayweather a black eye in their match this year. This is far from the first time influencer-boxers have interacted with McGregor; most notably, American YouTuber Jake Paul has been publicly fiending for a fight with the mixed martial artist for some time, although McGregor doesn\u2019t seem too interested in the idea. For now, KSI is focused on his upcoming bout with Danis\u2026 but there\u2019s no telling if we\u2019ll see \u2018The Notorious\u2019 step into the ring with an influencer in the coming months or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
