Conor McGregor has been involved in a conversation about the worst-ever UFC title reign following Carla Esparza's loss to Zhang Weili.
Esparza lost her UFC strawweight title at the hands of Weili this past weekend at UFC 281, as 'The Cookie Monster' tapped out to a rear-naked choke in the second round. It meant Esparza was unable to defend the belt in her first defence having won it against Rose Namajunas in May, something she also failed to do when winning the same title back in 2014 as she lost it Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her next fight.
Fans have since debated who has had the worst title reign in UFC history after Esparza's loss, with McGregor's name being thrown in the hat; the former two-weight champion never defended either of his titles. "Esparza had as many title defences as Conor," a social media user pointed out. Another user said of Esparza's title reign, "At least she stepped in the octagon to defend her belt."
