Conor McGregor left Khabib Nurmagomedov off his UFC Mount Rushmore

UFC legend Conor McGregor posted several posts on his Twitter back in 2020 about who would make it onto his prestigious Mount Rushmore of the UFC.

His successful career in the Octagon has entitled the Irishman to rank his top four fighters and he also outlined his reasons for doing so.

The Brazilian-American mixed martial artist and boxer holds the record for the longest title reign in UFC history at 2,457 days. From defending his middleweight belt from 2006 to 2013, Silva also went on a remarkable 16-fight win streak.

At number three is Georges St-Pierre. You can argue that third place is harsh for someone like GSP, who has had a stellar career in the UFC. St-Pierre was a two-division champion, having won titles in the welterweight and middleweight divisions in which he also held the record for the longest welterweight winning streak.

Reasons = Left 170 after much damage taken+questionable decision. Never re-engaged 170lb successors. Bottled Anderson fight. Only moved when one eyed fighter presented. Played safe.”
