Dillon
\nDanis<\/a> is making some bold predictions about Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McGregor (22-6) is set to return to action in a welterweight
\nmatchup against Max
\nHolloway<\/a> (27-9) in the main event at UFC 329<\/a>
\non July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor has opened as a
\n+300 underdog, with fans and pundits expecting Holloway to dominate
\nthe former double champ.<\/p>\n

However, McGregor\u2019s training partner, Danis, believes otherwise.
\nDanis believes McGregor\u2019s dedication is getting underestimated
\nbefore his return. McGregor\u2019s fight against Holloway marks his
\nreturn to action after five years. However, Danis believes ring
\nrust is a mindset that McGregor can definitely beat. Danis predicts
\nthat \u201cNotorious\u201d will knock Holloway out within three rounds. \u201cEl
\nJefe\u201d even predicts that McGregor will fight Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> after beating Holloway.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s always been a dedicated guy\u2026 Him not going to the White House
\ncard\u2026 He is living in the gym,\u201d Danis told MMA Fighting. \u201cHe is
\nbringing in tough training partners. He is beyond focused right
\nnow\u2026 It\u2019s a different kind of dedication that he has right now. And
\nI think that he\u2019s going to clean Max. At that weight, the way he\u2019s
\nbody is looking, the way he is training, the way that he is putting
\nin the hours\u2026 I don\u2019t believe in ring rust. I have been out for a
\nlong time and I come back. I believe ring rust is a mindset. And if
\nanybody is gonna beat a mindset, it\u2019s Conor. I think people are
\nreally, really underestimating him. I don\u2019t want to give too much
\naway\u2026 But he is gonna hurt Max really badly. I think he\u2019s gonna
\nknock out Max and then it\u2019s gonna be him and Islam. I don\u2019t think
\nit makes it past three rounds, maybe two. I think [Conor] cleans
\nhis jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danis was one of McGregor\u2019s primary training partners leading up to
\nthe Irishman\u2019s legendary fight against Khabib
\nNurmagomedov<\/a> in 2018. Danis was also involved in the infamous
\nbrawl at
\nUFC 229<\/a>. While Danis was out of competition for a long time, he
\nhas recently returned to wrestling competitions, mostly under RAF.
\nDanis is scheduled to headline RAF 10 against Khamzat
\nChimaev<\/a> in St. Louis.<\/p>\n
