Conor McGregor is reacting after Tony Ferguson dubbed himself the ‘BOAT’ of MMA.<\/p>\n

Ahead of UFC 279 which takes place this Saturday, September 10th at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, Ferguson has labelled himself the ‘BOAT’ – Best Of All Time.<\/p>\n

It will be Tony Ferguson (26-7 MMA) vs Li Jingliang<\/a> (19-7 MMA) in the co-main welterweight bout this coming Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, 38, spoke with media in Las Vegas ahead of UFC 279 and when asked a potential match-up with Conor McGregor in the future, ‘El Cucuy’ had this to say:<\/p>\n

“McNuggets (McGregor) – he lost his sauce.”<\/p>\n

Continuing Ferguson said:<\/p>\n

“GOATS (Greatest of all time) come and go but BOATS staying floating – I’m a BOAT – I’m the best of all time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding the fighter stressed that he is the champ saying:<\/p>\n

“That’s a title that’s not gonna go anywhere, I’m always gonna be the f*****g champ. No ones going to do what I’ve done for this sport.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

It didn’t take long for Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA), a self-proclaimed GOAT, to take notice of Fergusons’s comments and he responded via ‘Twitter<\/a>‘:<\/p>\n

“The worst quote in fighting.” – <\/em>McGregor tweeted and later deleted.<\/p>\n

McGregor and Ferguson have previously been linked to fight one another but it has never come to fruition.<\/p>\n

The Irishman is currently sidelined after a broken leg he sustained during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier (28-7 MMA) in July of 2021 at UFC 264. McGregor is scheduled to make his way back to the Octagon in the 1st quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Ferguson that he’s the BOAT? Would you like to see a Ferguson vs McGregor headliner?<\/p>\n
