Conor McGregor’s coach Dillon Danis left concussed and bruised after Khabib Nurmagomedov attack, according to UFC star Brian Ortega
Conor McGregor's training partner was pounced on by the lightweight champion but a video shows he may have been provoked first
DILLON DANIS was left bruised and concussed by his Khabib Nurmagomedov attack but still made it to a Las Vegas nightclub.
UFC title contender Brian Ortega claims to have bumped into Conor McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach late on Saturday night after he was set upon by the lightweight champion.
Danis verbally abused Nurmagomedov after his dominant fourth-round win before the 27-0 grappler dived over the cage and leapt at him feet first.
But Bellator fighter Danis was well enough to hit the dancefloor after the melee but told Ortega he had suffered a concussion.
Ortega told TMZ: “He was cool about the whole situation.
“He wouldn’t really tell me much. He was just like, ‘Yeah, man, s*** got crazy'.

“'These guys started throwing (punches), I started throwing’.
“One of his eyes was swollen. He was just like, ‘Yeah, man, I think they gave me a concussion’”.
Ortega, 27 – who challenges UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway in December – was in the T-Mobile arena for the headline bout and the shocking scenes that followed.
Danis, 25, was the target of Nurmagomedov’s attack after he appeared to be caught up in a row with Rizvan Magomedov, another member of the Russian’s team.
