UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten would include Conor McGregor on his own MMA Mount Rushmore. UFC president Dana White was recently asked about his own Mount Rushmore and went with the likes of Royce Gracie, Amanda Nunes, Jon Jones and Chuck Liddell.
Rutten appeared on MMAJunkie Radio and revealed his own MMA Mount Rushmore. And when the question was posed to former UFC heavyweight champion Rutten, the Dutchman had some interesting picks.
He too, included Gracie along White himself. It then came down between Liddell and Fedor Emelianenko for Rutten’s third pick. As for the fourth pick? Rutten seems to think McGregor warrants a place.

One choice that could draw the ire of some is Conor McGregor. Rutten realizes that McGregor may not have the title defenses on his resume but he feels the “Notorious” one’s impact as a draw can’t be ignored.
McGregor, for one, believes he is already a contender to be the GOAT of MMA as he sparked that separate discussion last month. If he wants it to become a more unanimous opinion, he will have to eventually come out of his current retirement.
He also isn’t happy that the lightweight title unification bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje has been pushed back to September.

The “Notorious” one was last seen in action back in Jan. 2020. He took on Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The welterweight clash headlined UFC 246. It only took McGregor 40 seconds to finish Cerrone via TKO.
