UFC lightweight Conor McGregor is well-known for his Boxing abilities

Conor McGregor wasn’t particularly impressed with a lesser-known MMA page named Ez Raw Podcast placing him number three in the ‘Best Boxers in the UFC’ list.

The Irishman was behind Petr Yan and Max Holloway who were placed number 1 and 2 respectively.

Behind, McGregor were his well-known rivals – Jose Aldo and Nate Diaz.

McGregor has faced three of the four fighters on the list. He beat Holloway via. unanimous decision back in 2013 (outboxed). Knocked out Aldo in 2015, and has a 1-1 record against Diaz.

Pointing the same out, McGregor claimed that there was no one “even remotely close to” his Boxing.

His Tweet read:

“I outboxed 3 guys on this list! There’s no one even remotely close to my boxing in the ufc. Even Dustin only got shots off post the leg damage. Everyone has been pucked around by me if we are going off boxing. Yan is good tho, i like his style. I’d rip him up in that shell tho.”
