Jorge Masvidal Embarrasses Conor McGregor’s 8-Year UFC Run With Mike Tyson’s 37-Year-Old Record

UFC star Conor McGregor might arguably be one of the most prolific fighters in the promotion. However, the Irishman’s exploits inside the Octagon have become sporadic in recent times. The situation becomes more worrisome for the fans if they assess the extended data. On the other hand, legendary boxer Mike Tyson hands down humbles the former UFC champion.

Notably, welterweight fighter Jorge Masvidal on his popular Facebook handle shared the career stats of both fighters.

What did Masvidal post about McGregor and Mike Tyson?

The fan-favorite fighter keeps the audience entertained with his combat sports-related content. Not only did the 38-year-old fighter shy away from expressing hot takes, but also posts hilarious content. Similarly, he took a dig at the Dublin-born fighter as he shared the career stats of the two.

Therefore, the former title challenger wrote, “Tyson was a savage!”

Remarkably, the stats revealed the ‘Notorious’ had fought only 14 fights while his UFC career stretched over 8 years. ‘Iron Mike’, by comparison, graced the boxing ring 15 times in one calendar year, 1985.

Mike Tyson’s eventful 1985 year

One of the most feared knockout artists of all time, Tyson, won his first 19 fights with knockouts. And significantly, the first 15 of those came in 1985 when he had just started his pro career.

‘Kid Dynamite’ made his debut as an 18-year-old on March 6, 1985. Evidently, the explosive fighter had a knack for fighting as he finished the year with 15 fights and 15 knockout victories.

As expected, the media picked up on the young fighter’s undefeated streak, and hence his journey to ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ started. Rightly billed as the next heavyweight champion, Tyson claimed the WBC title the next year itself, i.e., 1986 after defeating Trevor Berbick in a TKO victory.

McGregor’s UFC record

Conor McGregor started his UFC career on April 6, 2013, with a TKO via punches win over Marcus Brimage. Afterward, the fighter built a reputation for earning KOs with similarly quick and combination punches.

The 34-year-old fighter then went undefeated in UFC for further 6 fights and claimed the featherweight title during the same splendid run. However, Nate Diaz halted his undefeated juggernaut in UFC at 196.

However, after earning the lightweight title at UFC 205 against Eddie Alvarez in 2016, he has only fought 4 times inside the Octagon. Currently, McGregor is on a two-loss streak, and markedly, Dustin Poirier handed both losses over to him.
