Greatest Fighter In Ufc History

Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagamedov has sarcastically named the greatest UFC fighter in the history of Twitter - his nemesis, Irishman Conor McGregor.

The apparent jab came as a response to a recent list of greatest fighters compiled by McGregor, who put himself in second place after Brazilian MMA fighter Anderson Silva, while former Canadian fighter Georges St-Pierre came in third.

you tapped out in featherweight , you tapped out in lightweight and you tapped in welterweight , you never defended title in the UFC or Cage Warriors , you gave up more than GSP , Spider and Bones all together.
you greatest @ufc fighter in twitter history.

Two years ago, McGregor lost to Khabib in the fourth round of the UFC 229 event by submission. Since then, the two fighters don't miss a chance to exchange barbs on social media.

Khabib is the current UFC lightweight champion with 28 victories out of 28 fights in his list. McGregor, a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, held the same titles in Cage Warriors.
