What caught the attention of most people is that he placed himself on the second spot. Moreover, he believes that he will end his career as the number one G.O.A.T.

In addition to comparing himself to Anderson Silva, another thing that just did not sit well with the MMA community is that McGregor placed Georges St-Pierre at the 3rd position and Jon “Bones” Jones at the fourth.

Many lashed out at McGregor, including arch-rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. The latest addition in the club of McGregor’s responders was Paulo Costa. The Middleweight contender took to Twitter to name Mcgregor the G.O.A.T. of a completely different stream.

Costa wrote, “The GOAT. The world social média champ champ !”

Subsequent to McGregor’s tweet, many have taken to criticize The Notorious One on the same nerve as Costa.

Even though the Irishman holds a ton of sway in the world of fighting, his move of crowning himself as the inevitable GOAT has not gone down well with other fighters. For example, The Eagle took to Twitter in response to McGregor’s claims. What he wrote was similar to the claims of “The Eraser”.
