Quick-witter ESPN journalist Ariel Helwani showed that that he wouldn’t be taking the shots fired by Bellator’s Dillon Danis.

There’s a delicate interplay between MMA fighters and reporters. Keeping the balance between professionalism, fan and friend can be tough at times. On other occasions, it’s about embracing the moment completely, something recently seen online.

Dillon Danis, well known for playing the heel in feuds with fighters, fired shots at ESPN’s Ariel Helwani – Who was not having it.

Danis posted a video on Twitter of a street fight, writing that he would do something similar when he encounters Helwani.

“Next time I see Ariel Helwani,” Danis Wrote.

Danis’ striking has been heavily criticised, though, as has the level of competition that he has received in Bellator. Considering that He is an experienced BJJ-artist who has competed at a high level for many years, and also trained alongside Conor McGregor for quite some time, many fans and pundits feel that Danis has been given all too favourable match ups.

Helwani then gave the perfect response, echoing the sentiment of many fans online.

“You connecting with a punch let alone dropping someone? Well, I guess there really could be a first time for everything.” Helwani responded.
