CONOR McGREGOR briefly broke his silence after Khabib Nurmagomedov's GOAT snub – then quickly deleted his comment.
The Irishman was brutally left out of bitter rival Khabib's list of the top 15 MMA fighters of all time.
He had Fedor Emelianenko and Jon Jones in joint first with Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva completing the podium.
The likes of Daniel Cormier, Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya also feature with Dominic Cruz and Frankie Edgar sharing 15th place.
However, there was a notable omission with no sign of McGregoror.
And unsurprisingly the Notorious was less than pleased with the public swipe.

McGregor, 34, tweeted: "In the end, it's who's left.
"Don't forget.
"God bless Tidl Sports Science."
However, the post was not up for long before the two-weight UFC world champion removed it.

Nurmagomedov, 34, and McGregor locked horns with one another nearly five years ago in the main event of UFC 229 – the biggest pay-per-view event in the history of the promotion.
The Dagestani destroyer won the grudge match via fourth-round submission before jumping the cage to attack McGregor's team-mate Dillon Danis.
And The Eagle criticised McGregor for giving up so easily after nearly two years of heated trash talk.
Khabib, though, retired in 2020 after defending his UFC lightweight world championship against Justin Gaethje, extending his perfect MMA record to 29-0.
McGregor, meanwhile, beat Donald Cerrone in January 2020 but lost both fights to Dustin Poirier the following year and has not stepped in the octagon since.
