JAKARTA - UFC legend Tony Ferguson praised himself as the best of all time. He also mocked Conor McGregor by calling him "logging the sauce".
Saturday, at UFC 279, former UFC interim champion Ferguson will face China's Li Jingliang at the T-Mobile Arena.
The California fighter returned to the UFC in the welterweight division after missing since winning the Tuf in 2011.
In an interview with the media in Las Vegas, 'El Cucuy' answered a prospective fight against Irish superstar McGregor.
Although there are always rumors of a fight between the two, it never happened.
And due to a broken leg injury he suffered in a trilogy match against Dustin Poirier last year, The Notorious is currently out of commission.
The man from Dublin, who insisted he was the greatest fighter ever to compete in the UFC, was then ridiculed by Ferguson.
