The pound-for-pound debate is never ending. Experts, fans, and fighters themselves will all have their opinion on who the best pound-for-pound fighter is or was. That one “best” individual all comes down to one’s point of view and there will always be an argument coming in hot for the debate. In the recent UFC 194 post-fight press conference, Conor McGregor was asked by a media member if he feels that he is the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and he said that he is. McGregor said that he as a whole package, no one can do it better than him. The UFC currently has McGregor as number three.
