KEY POINTS

  • Jake Paul may have attacked Dillon Danis on purpose
  • Paul warned to be careful about Danis by Joe Rogan
  • Conor McGregor hasn't responded to Paul

With Conor McGregor hardly responding to his taunts, Jake Paul may have diverted his attention to someone else.

McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis is another name on the list of the YouTuber, and a recent water balloon attack on the 27-year-old may be a sign of things to come.

Danis was doing an interview for the sports talk show “Below the Belt with Brendan Schaub” when the 23-year-old came out of nowhere to spoil it.

"Look, it's Conor McGregor's b---- right there," Paul could be heard saying as he and his entourage passed by the spot where Danis was doing the interview.

Danis and McGregor are friends, and the sneak attack of Paul can be viewed in two different ways.

One is that with McGregor not responding to his $50 million offer, Paul may be trying to get the attention of "The Notorious" by attacking Danis.

The second is that he may have settled to face the three-time World Jiu-Jitsu champion instead as his next opponent.

Regardless, one cannot help but think that the whole thing was staged. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan was left thinking how Paul knew that Danis would be doing his interview there.

Rogan watched the clip where Paul and his entourage drive-by Danis as he was being interviewed for the sports talk show.

"How did he know he was gonna be there?" Rogan said when he watched the clip. "But then he sped away. Dillon Danis ran up to him and he sped away. Why didn't he get out and fight him?"

Danis did chase the internet sensation, but Paul never stepped down to face him. Rogan believes it was the right choice. The 53-year-old knows what things the Brazilian jiu-jitsu prodigy could do against Paul.

"Let me tell you something. If Dillon Danis gets a hold of you, you're gonna get your arms broken, you're getting your neck strangled off, your head's gonna get popped like a zit, he's gonna rip your knees apart," he said. "Not a f---ing chance in the world. Dillon Danis is a world-class grappler. Top of the food chain."
