Dillon Danis is known for being quite the Firestarter on social media. When it comes to giving his due to his rivals and fellow UFC stars, he has a free hand of it on most occasions.
UFC fans might know him from his altercation with Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team after the McGregor fight brawl.
Since then, Danis and other McGregor team members have been at Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team.
Now that Islam Makhachev is the new Lightweight champ at UFC and McGregor is planning a return, it’s not surprising that Danis has him in his sights.
But in a hilarious backfire, Danis had his dig at Makhachev inverted.
Dillon Danis took to posting a pic of Islam Makhachev. In it, we can see Makhachev with a long-haired person in the pool. Makhachev is holding the person from behind and the implication is obvious. Naturally, the comment thread for the tweet was flooded with comments like “Not halal at all”, “Is he not married?” and “Haram asf lmao.”

Islam Makhachev is growing increasingly frustrated with the UFC as the newly-crowned lightweight champion prepares to make his first title defense following his dominant submission victory over Charles Oliveira last month in Abu Dhabi.
The Dagestani native and Khabib Nurmagomedov protege was thought to be fighting Alexander Volkanovski in Perth, Australia, next year.
However, that matchup appears to be in jeopardy judging by Makhachev’s latest Tweet in which he told the UFC to ‘stop playing games’ and send the contract for his next fight.
“I’m not sure what UFC wants, February Australia or March Vegas, I honestly don’t care about location and opponent, I never choose opponents. Just send a contract and stop playing games,” Makhachev posted yesterday.
Makhachev’s comments come after Volkanovski cast doubt about Islam’s commitment to the matchup by questioning whether the latter actually wants the fight following their face-off at UFC 280.
