Conor McGregor believes he is second only behind Anderson Silva in terms of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
Calling it the 'Goat Thread', McGregor broke down who he thinks are the octagon's greatest ever champions.
Silva tops his list, although the Dubliner thinks he will eventually surpass the achievements of the 45-year-old Brazilian.
McGregor wrote: "The array of finishes, across 2 divisions, with champion status in 1, Anderson Silva is No.1 MMA GOAT.
"My array of finishes, across 3 divisions, with champion status in 2, I’m No.2. If not tied 1.
"However still active, No.1 is fully secured by career end. And easily."
McGregor has Georges St-Pierre at number three with current light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones in at number four.
"GSP [Georges St-Pierre] is in at 3. Much less array of finishes but champion status in 2. He is far behind though. Reasons = Left 170 after much damage taken+questionable decision.
"Never re-engaged 170lb successors. Bottled Anderson fight. Only moved when one eyed fighter presented. Played safe.
"Jon [Jones] is 4. Maybe tied 3. More array of finishes than 3 and still active, but champion status in just 1. Reasons = Multiple lacklustre decision performances + questionable decision win.
"Attempting to safe play HW entry/avoiding its champion."
McGregor later added of Jones along with a video of the pair: "I said 4, maybe 3. This here is No.2 in Rolex’s, and with only 2 in play.
"I like Jon. Still active, can climb higher. Must shake repetitive iddybiddy knee kick habit he has, learn to box backwards, take divisional jump fearlessly, then most important of all, win it in full style."
McGregor went on to say that if he took into account failed drugs tests, he could be considered the best ever by a clear margin.
Both Silva and Jones have tested positive for banned substances during their careers.
And McGregor added: "I didn’t mentions PED results on multiple entrants, even though that makes me the clear current No.1 MMA GOAT, along with still being active.
"Although it shames, as well as puts all runs+finishes in complete doubt, I’ve snored multiple juice heads. A true GOAT must do it all."
