Instagram Dillon Danis and Conor McGregor.
Dillon Danis is a teammate of Conor McGregor’s, and is reportedly responsible for inciting Khabib Nurmagomedov during the main event at UFC 229. According to TMZ, Danis repeatedly goaded Nurmagomedov during the fighting, and even called him a “f*cking muslim rat.”
That final insult was reportedly what set Nurmagomedov over the edge, as he then threw his mouthpiece at Dillon and jumped over the cage to fight him in the stands.

In the Wake of His Fight With Nurmagomedov, Danis Lashed Out on Social Media

When Rafael dos Anjos called Danis a “nobody” after the fight took place, Danis immediately lashed out at him, inviting him to fight before calling him a slew of insults, including the one he leveled at Nurmagomedov: a rat.
It seems that Danis uses that insult often. On September 20, he tweeted, “Rats everywhere.”
