Conor McGregor insists he's the MMA GOAT despite being snubbed by Khabib

After sparking a Twitter war involving numerous UFC greats last week, Conor McGregor once again labelled himself as the greatest MMA fighter of all time with some updated statistics on social media. ‘The Notorious’ earlier placed himself second in the list of MMA GOATs (Greatest Of All Time), ranking himself above Jon Jones and Georges St-Pierre. However, the Irish superstar faced heavy backlash from the MMA community for his lofty claims. Conor McGregor, however, appears to be unaffected by the criticism as he once again tagged himself as the greatest MMA fighter of all time.
