Bellator MMA fighter and the former UFC champ champ’s close friend and training partner, the highly controversial BJJ wizard Dillon Danis recently appeared on noted MMA and combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani’s MMA show on ESPN and discussed his social media feud with current UFC welterweight and former Olympian and former Bellator MMA and One FC welterweight champion, Ben Askren. Danis also claimed that he wants to fight Askren and will easily beat him in the fight round in 20-30 seconds y easily tapping him out. This is what he had to say:
I really want to go against Ben Askren. We should do a cross promotion. I’ll put up a million dollars vs. him because it would be the easiest fight ever. I would tap him so easy, Ariel. He’s so unathletic, and he’s so bad on the ground. A grappling match, that wouldn’t even be a match. That would be like 20-30 seconds. A fight, I would still beat him in the first round, but he wouldn’t want to fight me.
As expected, Askren did not take too kindly to such statements and instead took to Twitter and used banter to roast Danis. Askren wrote multiple tweets in a series, he himself stated as, “Boom Roasted”. Read the entire series of hilarious tweets by Askren down below:
The fact that @espnmma and @arielhelwani are giving this guy air time is kind of embarrassing. Couldn’t find anyone better than a 1-0 failed BJJ played to come on the show Ariel? If you are that desperate I will commit to a 20 minute weekly spot to help ratings. https://t.co/wqbAu6NWLu
