Counting down to the best MMA fighter of all time

#14 Conor McGregor (2008 to present)

Conor McGregor launches himself at Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229

Conor McGregor has lost some of his aura following his one sided loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. But to write him off based upon that is a disservice to Khabib and McGregor.

McGregor is primarily a striker. His aggressive southpaw based fighting style has brought him impressive, dominating victories over a who's who of MMA; namely:

McGregor has a background in Judo, Karate and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu though evidence of these skills has been sparse in his MMA bouts given his superb success as a stand up fighter.

Where McGregor is unmatched, is his incredible drawing power. "Notorious" has been one half of four of the five highest drawing UFC cards of all time. That is impressive.

McGregor has tasted his fair share of success too. He won the Cage Warriors Lightweight Championship while recognised as the Featherweight Champion; a feat he repeated in UFC when he became the first man to hold two titles's simultaneously when he added the Lightweight title to the Featherweight strap he already owned.

McGregor has notched up wins over top names such as Eddie Alvarez, Jose Aldo and Nate Diaz to name but three.

His credentials should never be overlooked. McGregor is one of the sport's greatest.
