UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman isn't particularly liked by Conor McGregor's trainer Dillon Danis. In an attempt to troll the champ about his use of an off-beat technique, the latter took to his Twitter to post the following:
Is Kamaru Usman using a technique that is looked down on?
Unorthodox techniques have been a part of combat sports since its inception. UFC champion Kamaru Usman has been under the radar in recent times for his ill-reputed foot stomps.

After being criticized for using the technique during his 170-pound title defence against Jorge Masvidal, many thought that Kamaru Usman would stop using foot stomps. However, despite the bad-mouthing from fans and experts, the 33-year-old retained his title while extending his undefeated record to 12-0 in the UFC.
Dillon Danis has had his own share of controversies in the past. Danis was involved in the post-fight brawl with Khabib Nurmagomedov after the latter faced Conor McGregor at UFC 229. Since then, the New-Jersey native has managed to creep into the bad books of many fighters.
This isn't the first time that Dillon Danis has taken a jibe at Kamaru Usman. Following the champion's most-recent title defense against number-one contender Gilbert Burns, Danis had the following to say:
"I'm gonna finish Usman for everyone so we don’t have to hear him talk again."
What is Dillon Danis' MMA record?
Dillon Danis currently has an undefeated MMA record consisting of 2 wins and 0 losses. Being a highly-decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Danis made his MMA debut in April 2018 at Bellator 198.
The BJJ aficionado appears to want to take things to the next level. Following his street-altercation with YouTube celebrity-turned boxer Jake Paul, Danis is now eyeing a super-fight with the 23-year old pro fighter.
Dillon Danis hasn't held back from talking smack in the past. Sparing no fighters on the UFC roster, it seems as though the world-renowned MMA grappler wants to have a crack at some of the organization's best.
Do you think Dillon Danis will be signed by the UFC? If so, could a mega-showdown against Kamaru Usman potentially be on the cards?
