“2024 has been Alex Pereira’s year, no one can deny that,” McGregor told The Schmo .”If we go by that, forget belts, forget anything of that, it’s in competition. He’s (three) fights this year, (three) KOs, and his most impressive one was most recently. I’d put Alex Pereira as No. 1.”

Conor McGregor believes that if Jon Jones and Alex Pereira ever fought, then "Poatan" would give "Bones" some issues.

In an interview with The Schmo, Conor McGregor weighed in on Pereira’s dominance, asserting that no one could deny his spot at the top after such a stellar year. McGregor went so far as to call Pereira the UFC’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.
