Conor McGregor claims he is the greatest featherweight of all time ahead of UFC return

Conor McGregor, the former UFC featherweight champion, asserts that he belongs in discussions about the greatest featherweight of all time (GOAT), despite not currently being ranked among the top contenders. Ahead of his upcoming UFC 329 matchup against Max Holloway, McGregor highlights his historic victories, including a legendary 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo in 2015. While acknowledging Holloway's accomplishments and current champion Alexander Volkanovski, McGregor argues that his record and achievements justify his inclusion in the GOAT conversation. His last sanctioned fight was in 2021, and he has faced setbacks such as injuries and cancellations, yet he remains confident in his legacy.
