When Conor McGregor shared his current MMA GOAT rankings many fans and pundits questioned why the name Demetrious Johnson was not on the list.<\/p>\n
McGregor had ranked former UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva in the top spot<\/a> for current MMA GOAT, this while listing himself as a very close second.<\/p>\n The Irishman then pegged Octagon<\/a> legends Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones for the third and fourth positions respectively.<\/p>\n Although Conor McGregor picked some relatively obvious choices in ‘The Spider’, ‘GSP’ and ‘Bones’, names such as undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and longtime flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson were nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n When one fan commented that his MMA GOAT list made no sense without the inclusion of ‘DJ’, McGregor shared the following explanation for not including ‘Mighty Mouse’ in his rankings.<\/p>\n Love Mighty Mouse. Always give him credit. One of the most skilled! But in a limited competition division, he eventually left the top tier organisation after losing a match that was then 1-1. Plus he lost his up weight world title attempt against Dominic Cruz.<\/p>\n — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 23, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
