Conor McGregor has been snubbed by Dana White in the UFC President's 'best ever' fighters list.
White incredibly ranked four fighters ahead of Khabib Nurmagomedov in the 'best ever' debate - despite many seeing the Russian as MMA's GOAT.
Nurmagomedov was undefeated during his time in the UFC's lightweight division and retired with a record of 29-0.
He dismantled McGregor in their 2018 bout which lead to all hell breaking loose inside and outside the octagon in Las Vegas.
But White put Jon Jones, Kamaru Usman, Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva ahead of the former lightweight champion.
He told Yahoo Sports: "I picked Jon Jones, Kamaru Usman, Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva.
"Anderson just did more and he was there longer. The dominance of Khabib is unbelievable and like you say it is a different day and era with different levels and skills."
Nurmagomedov had an illustrious career at lightweight and was responsible for the highest selling pay-per-view event in the history of the UFC alongside bitter rival McGregor.
However he has been placed below a number of fighters including Jones who is planning on making a return to the sport in the heavyweight division.
'Bones' reigned as two-time light-heavyweight champion during his UFC career and has fought some of the biggest names including Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, Chael Sonnen, Alexander Gustafsson and Daniel Cormier.
Jones has also been placed in the UFC's hall of fame after his famous fight with Gustafsson and is looking to eclipse his legacy further at the top weight.
Silva reigned as middleweight champion in addition to making 10 successful defences of his crown while also competing at light-heavyweight.
St Pierre was a tremendous two-division champion winning titles at both middleweight and three times at welterweight with many considering him the best fighter in UFC history.
Current welterweight Usman has reigned as an undefeated champion since 2019 defeating the likes of Jorge Masvidal, Gilbert Burns and Colby Covington as he continues to be unchallenged at the top table.
The Nigerian is also currently ranked as the sport's leading pound-for-pound fighter and is well on his way to cementing his name as one of the sport's most dominant fighters ever.
White has previously spoken of Usman's sensational record and is confident that he could go down as one of the best welterweights ever.
“He just broke his record tonight,” White told reporters after UFC 258.
"“If you look at what he just did, he broke his record tonight for consecutive wins (in the welterweight division), and if this guy keeps rolling, if Usman can keep doing what he’s doing, he’s going to go down as the greatest welterweight ever. Fact.
“Just look at who he’s fought and who he has to fight here in the future, it’s undeniable that this guy will go down as the best welterweight, the question is, where will he go down in the history of the sport?”
