Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis scores brilliant submission win at Polaris 4

Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Dillon Danis was in stellar form at the Polaris 4 event on Saturday night.

The black belt under Marcelo Garcia, who MMA fans will recognise as one of the training partners Conor McGregor drafted in for his two bouts against Nate Diaz, defeated Jakson Sousa at the BJJ event in Poole, England. Sousa started the bout aggressively, trying hard to secure the double leg, but Danis almost punished him for his efforts by going for the choke. The beginning of the end for the Brazilian happened when Danis tried his own takedown attempt. On the ground he reached for the leg before shifting his weight backwards and locking in a heel hook to force the tap. https://twitter.com/fredthechef/status/792453073998405632?lang=en Danis, who has remained a part of McGregor's team for the Notorious' historic lightweight title shot against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, has been receiving plaudits on Twitter for his performance against Sousa. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMKN2SNAya2/ https://twitter.com/RosssEdmonds/status/792453592502394880 https://twitter.com/danhardymma/status/792452834822332416 https://twitter.com/kingavocado_/status/792452243337293824 https://twitter.com/MyTimesProse/status/792451849794314240 https://youtu.be/dMKj4O2viQY *Main image via Dillon Danis' Instagram You can catch up on the latest episode of JOE's Football Friday Live right here...
