Debate emerges over Khabib and McGregor's absence from all-time UFC top 10 list

A discussion has emerged regarding the top 10 greatest UFC fighters of all time, sparked by Vlad Matveev's ranking that excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The debate centers on whether traditional criteria like title defenses and opponent quality are sufficient, or if broader impact metrics should be considered. Additional proposed criteria include contribution to MMA popularization, peak performance, dominance in fights, commercial draw, and records. The alternative top 10 includes Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes.
