Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time. However, this consensus has been challenged by the rise of LeBron James.

What made Jordan a standout was his ability to create new moves never seen before in the basketball world. One memorable example came during a 1988 game against the Cavaliers, where Jordan introduced the ‘behind-the-back dribble,’ a move that revolutionized the game.

Conor McGregor, known for his own boldness, posted a video of this iconic moment, comparing Jordan’s ingenuity to his own, with the move going viral in recent days.

McGregor paid tribute to Michael Jordan’s legacy

In his typical fashion, McGregor praised Jordan while drawing a parallel to his own impact on the sport of mixed martial arts.

“Unless you’ve hit moves they’ve never seen before, you are in no talks. I’ve done it multiple times! Respect to Jordan. BIG GOAT TALK. #FreetheMac,” McGregor wrote on Twitter.

McGregor is undeniably the biggest star in UFC history. However, when it comes to being the greatest of all time (GOAT), McGregor doesn’t have the same dominance as Jordan. What he does have, though, is a reputation for innovation, particularly in using trash-talking and showmanship to elevate himself and the sport as a whole.

Despite his earlier success, McGregor’s career has faced significant challenges in recent years. He has lost three of his last four fights and is recovering from a leg injury that could have ended his career had it not been treated properly.

McGregor remains eager to return to the octagon, but his plans have been repeatedly delayed, much to the chagrin of UFC chief, Dana White.

Dana White confirms McGregor won’t fight in 2024


Conor McGregor had hoped to return to the UFC this year, with plans to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in July. Unfortunately, a broken toe forced him to pull out.

UFC CEO Dana White recently confirmed that McGregor will not fight in 2024, despite the fighter’s intentions to do so.

However, this statement was challenged by Michael Chandler, who suggested that White’s announcement could be a strategy to mislead fans and create a bigger spectacle when McGregor’s return is finally confirmed.
