MMA analyst discusses Vlad Matveev's top-10 greatest UFC fighters list, expressing surprise at the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The analyst argues that while Matveev's criteria focused on title defenses, quality opposition, finishes, and longevity, the list should also consider fighters' broader impact on the sport. Additional criteria proposed include contributions to MMA popularization, peak performance levels, fight dominance, commercial value, and record-breaking achievements. The analyst presents an alternative top-10 ranking that places Jon Jones first, Georges St-Pierre second, Khabib third, and Conor fourth. The post emphasizes that greatness should encompass not just titles but also a fighter's overall influence and scale of impact on MMA globally.
