It just reminds you, it shows you. That\u2019s why that motherf****r is so big. Just his character at the beginning was so fun and entertaining. He\u2019s the GOAT. Maybe not the GOAT, when it comes to skillset, it\u2019s hard to say who\u2019s the GOAT,&#8221; O&#8217;Malley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VqQMAwxFx0Y&amp;ab_channel=Suga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said on his YouTube channel<\/a>. &#8220;Like, who\u2019s the best, it\u2019s hard to say. When it comes to who\u2019s the GOAT, who really blew up the sport, who really took it to the next level, who is the most entertaining, who captivated the most people, Conor is the GOAT, and not even anyone really that close. I&#8217;m coming for it, I&#8217;m trying, I think Paddy is doing a good job at it. I still got years to do it and Conor&#8217;s probably getting closer to being done than anything. It&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s a fun little game to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is no question Conor McGregor has played a massive role in making the UFC as big as it is. And, when he was atop the sport, he was also one of the best fighters as he became the first fighter to hold two titles simultaneously and beat some of the best to ever do it, so you can see where O&#8217;Malley is coming from.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Sean O&#8217;Malley that Conor McGregor is the GOAT?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean O&#8217;Malley has declared Conor McGregor the MMA GOAT.
