Dillon Danis is in Dublin, Ireland training with UFC star Conor McGregor for the upcoming rematch with Nate Diaz.



Danis, a jiu-jitsu black belt under Marcelo Garcia, flew in from New York to join the Irishman's camp for UFC 202. He's an expert in both gi and no-gi grappling, and has been training and sparring with McGregor and his team at SBG Ireland.

• Why people shouldn't doubt his grappling for MMA credentials

• How one submission loss doesn't means McGregor's jiu-jitsu sucks
