MMA analyst debates UFC GOAT rankings, argues Khabib and McGregor deserve spots

Russian MMA analyst challenges another pundit's top-10 greatest UFC fighters list for excluding Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The analyst argues that greatness should include not only titles and opposition quality but also impact on the sport's growth, peak performance dominance, commercial success, and records. He proposes additional criteria such as geographical expansion of MMA popularity and the number of fighters inspired to join the sport. The analyst presents his own revised rankings with Jon Jones at number one, followed by Georges St-Pierre, Khabib Nurmagomedov in third, and Conor McGregor in fourth. He emphasizes that both Khabib and Conor significantly expanded MMA's global reach in ways that traditional metrics fail to capture.
