Conor McGregor is arguably the biggest superstar in the UFC. He has been in the sport for a while now and naturally had some great rivalries during his career. He has been away from the cage since his fight against Dustin Poirier, where he suffered a horrific injury and had to take time off from the fighting game. McGregor probably met his biggest rival in Dagestani champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. It, however, came as a surprise that the Irishman didn’t name the 29-0 record holder as his biggest rival when Barstool sports journalist Robbie Fox asked him about his rivals.
