Bellator has added another interesting addition to its blooming roster, this time in the form of Brazilian jiu-jitsu standout Dillon Danis. In the grappling world Danis (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is known for being one of the best at his craft. To strictly MMA fans, however, he’s become familiar as the outspoken training partner of UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Danis has never competed in a professional MMA bout, but has been in the forefront of McGregor’s recent training camps, aiding the UFC champ in his preparation for a UFC 202 victory over Nate Diaz this past August, as well as a title-winning knockout of Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in November. Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole first reported Danis’ signing. The news was subsequently confirmed to MMAjunkie by a Bellator official.
