Conor McGregor compared himself to NBA icon Michael Jordan.

There’s no denying that Conor McGregor is the most successful athlete in the history of mixed martial arts. Aside from being the promotion’s first-ever simultaneous two-division world champion, he’s also responsible for eight of the 10 highest-grossing pay-per-view events in UFC history.

Apparently, that’s good enough to stand side-by-side with the man who went from being cut by his high school basketball team to becoming the greatest player (sorry LeBron) the game has ever seen.

Recently, the popular X account @HoopsMixOnly posted a clip of ‘Air’ Jordan doing ‘Air’ Jordan things.
