‘Greatest Featherweight Since Bruce Lee’: McGregor’s Bold Claim Before UFC 329

Conor McGregor feels snubbed in the all-time featherweight debate. He faces Max Holloway in a rematch at UFC 329 this Saturday in Las Vegas. McGregor aims to remind fans of his legacy when he returns after five years. He defeated Holloway, Dustin Poirier and Chad Mendes on his way to an interim title. Then he produced a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo to win the undisputed featherweight crown in 2015. Despite those feats, discussions often centre on Aldo, Alexander Volkanovski and Holloway. McGregor admits he never defended the belt because he moved up to chase bigger goals. He believes skill and results matter more than title defences. A victory over Holloway would bolster his case as the division’s true great. The former two-division champion sees Holloway as the perfect opponent to showcase his level once more. McGregor’s comeback fight could reignite the debate over where he stands among featherweight legends.
