Former UFC dual-weight champion Conor McGregor believes he’s the GOAT ahead of his return.<\/p>\n
‘The Notorious’ has been out of action since his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier<\/a> at UFC 264 last July. The series between the two was sitting at 1-1 heading into last summer’s massive clash. In the end, it was ‘The Diamond’ who got the last laugh.<\/p>\n At UFC 264, the Irishman lost by first-round TKO after suffering a broken leg in the final seconds of the round. Due to the brutal injury, the former dual-weight champion has been on the shelf for over a year.<\/p>\n Currently, the Dublin native doesn’t have a set date for his return. However, that hasn’t stopped him from still being the talk of the MMA world. Names such as Nate Diaz, Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, Michael Chandler<\/a>, and more, have all been linked to a bout with McGregor.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the former champion’s longtime coach, John Kavanagh, has stated that he looks incredible in his recent return to training. It appears that success in the training room has led the Irishman to feel confident ahead of his return.<\/p>\n That confidence has led Conor McGregor to proclaim himself the greatest fighter of all time. During a Twitter<\/a> Q&A with fans, the former dual-weight champion stated he was the ‘GOAT’. The question came from a fan who asked if Jon Jones or Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter ever.<\/p>\n McGregor. https:\/\/t.co\/KxAPYYzR5l<\/a><\/p>\n — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 4, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
