Conor McGregor tries to argue that Khabib was just ‘good, not great’ in more deleted tweets

Khabib Nurmagomedov went 29-0 in his MMA career, completely dominating almost every single person he took on. He capped off his impressive career with three straight title defenses of his UFC lightweight belt in one-sided beatings against Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.

While Khabib retired in his prime and will likely be a first ballot hall-of-famer, his former rival again tried to downplay his legacy. In a recent string of deleted tweets, McGregor tried to argue how the man who dominated him in 2018 was simply “good, not great.”

It all started with a simple tweet from Will Harris that prompted McGregor to respond:

In my time around @TeamKhabib and his crew, I never once heard him say he was the greatest or wanted to be.
