But it looks like “The Notorious” Conor McGregor isn’t impressed by him, Holloway snapped at the commentary team during the fifth round he shouted, “I’m the best boxer in the UFC” and posted the video of the same on the tweet.

McGregor replied to his tweet and wrote “Lol.” That’s a pretty disrespectful statement from McGregor, they both faced each other during the early stage of their career and Max lost that fight, given McGregor’s statement fans are now hoping for a rematch.
