MMA analyst debates top 10 UFC fighters, argues for Khabib and Conor inclusion

An MMA analyst responded to Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, expressing surprise that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were excluded while fighters like Daniel Cormier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Randy Couture made the cut. The analyst argued that criteria for greatness should extend beyond titles and defenses to include impact on sport popularization, peak form dominance, commercial drawing power, and records. He proposed an alternative ranking considering these additional factors: 1) Jon Jones, 2) GSP, 3) Khabib Nurmagomedov, 4) Conor McGregor, 5) Jose Aldo, 6) Alex Pereira, 7) Anderson Silva, 8) Demetrious Johnson, 9) Islam Makhachev, 10) Amanda Nunes. The analyst emphasized that both Khabib and Conor significantly expanded MMA's global reach and inspired countless followers in ways other champions did not.
