UFC champion resists urge to snub Conor McGregor from his best-ever list

Alexander Volkanovski refused to snub Conor McGregor when naming the four best featherweights in UFC history.

The New Zealander is fast becoming one of the most dominant featherweights in UFC history having a record of 12 victories with no defeats since signing with the promotion. Volkanovski picked up his title back in 2019 and has not looked back, defeating the likes of Max Holloway three times as well as the legendary Jose Aldo.

Volkanovski is also ranked as the UFC's pound-for-pound No.1, and is looking to also make a switch to 155lb in a bid to become the latest double-champion. McGregor was the first to make that move, and Volkanovski believes he would cause a huge stir if he left him out of his all-time featherweight rankings.
