Dillon Danis confronted Ariel Helwani for 'betraying' Dana White and leaking information years ago 

Dillon Danis recently questioned Ariel Helwani about the MMA journalist baskstabbing Dana White by leaking sensitive information in 2016.

In a recent interview with Helwani on The MMA Hour, Danis brought up the subject of the MMA journalist's withered relationship with White due to his actions at UFC 199, much to Helwani's chagrin.

'El Jefe' tweeted a video of him confronting Helwani about the same during the interview, where he can be heard asking:

"It's f****d up what you did to Dana. He took you under his wing. He made you popular, he did all the stuff. That's how I knew who you were... He did everything for you... And the Brock Lesnar thing was f****d up, for the company why'd you spoil it?... Why did you f**k him over when he had your back."

Watch the clip below:

Dillon Danis was referring to the incident when Helwani prematurely reported on the news of Brock Lesnar making a comeback at UFC 200. He was at the UFC 199 event, spoiling the UFC's plans to surprise the fans.

The prominent MMA journalist was subsequently physically escorted out of the premises and handed a lifetime ban from all UFC events. While the ban was soon lifted, it seems White and Helwani are still on bad terms.

Conor McGregor claims Dillon Danis should be focusing on MMA instead of "little nothing burger" boxing match

Dillon Danis is set to make his long awaited return to combat sports as he gears up to face British YouTuber KSI in a boxing match on January 14. However, it seems Conor McGregor is least interested in his former training partner's latest endeavor and made his feelings known on Twitter.

KSI replied to one of McGregor's tweets confirming his friendship with Danis, stating:

"I’m sorry but I’m about do some serious damage to your boy."

'The Notorious' quickly replied to the Englishman. McGregor iterated that he wants Dillon Danis to focus on MMA instead of venturing into the genre of internet personality boxing matches. He wrote:

"Brother you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care. He should be back doing mma if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you. I couldn’t care less about this genre of boxing..."

Dillon Danis initially gained notoriety as McGregor's grappling coach and training partner. He was also involved in the infamous altercation between team Khabib Nurmagomedov and team Conor McGregor in the aftermath of UFC 229.

Since then, however, it seems the 29-year-old Bellator fighter no longer trains with the Irishman. Danis has been inactive since 2019, owing to a nasty knee injury and subsequent failed surgery.
