Conor McGregor recently took to Twitter to compare his legacy to that of Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The Irishman replied to a tweet from Will Harris, a content producer who was often seen documenting Khabib Nurmagomedov's career on YouTube channel Anatomy of a Fighter, when the latter was active.

Harris asserted that McGregor used to cut too much weight during his reign in the featherweight division. Conor McGregor furiously responded by saying that Khabib Nurmagomedov's legacy is 'toast' whereas the Irishman is still competing in the UFC. He said:

"Deaths door? That’s your side. I never missed weight or pulled out once! And I ran through the division in the process. Finishing with the fastest KO ever in a UFC world title fight. My weight rise was done flawlessly. We will disagree on legacy yes. As his one is already toast."

McGregor also slammed 'The Eagle' for his low knockout rate and claimed that the Russian was just a 'good' fighter.

"Yes. Good, not great. Low KO rate. Can’t kick whatsoever. Never moved up in weight class despite almost dying trying to make weight. Pulled out of fights multiple times. Retired early. All of which lead him to a good fighter, not great. He’d a good few months, that’s it."

McGregor and Harris were seen going back-and-forth on Twitter. However, 'The Notorious' commended Harris for his YouTube channel and content and exited the conversation on a lighter note.

@WillHarrisAOAF For sure, Will! Like your content, it’s solid. Have a good day, God bless.
