Conor McGregor believes he’s the GOAT and Nate Diaz had some fun with him.
On Saturday afternoon, McGregor took to Twitter to break down who he thought was the greatest MMA fighter of alltime.
According to his rankings, he’s the #1 or #2 greatest fighters of all-time.
GOAT THREAD.
The array of finishes, across 2 divisions, with champion status in 1, Anderson Silva is No.1 MMA GOAT.
My array of finishes, across 3 divisions, with champion status in 2, I’m No.2. If not tied 1.
However still active, No.1 is fully secured by career end. And easily.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 23, 2020
Jon is 4. Maybe tied 3. More array of finishes than 3 and still active, but champion status in just 1. Reasons = Multiple lacklustre decision performances + questionable decision win. Attempting to safe play HW entry/avoiding its champion.

Clarity on Silva’s earlier no.1 spot. Most stylistic finishes on resume. Front kicks to face. Up elbow (albeit outside UFC) Thai plum knees leading to broken facial bones. Long list of jaw dropping finishes. Myself/Anderson have the most exciting/important finishes in the sport!

Diaz, who beat McGregor a few years ago, trolled his rival by posting pics of the beatdown he put on him.
