Quick read
A discussion has emerged regarding a top-10 greatest UFC fighters list by Vlad Matveev that excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The author argues that while the list used solid criteria like title defenses and quality opposition, it failed to account for broader measures of greatness. He proposes additional criteria including contribution to MMA popularization, peak form, fight dominance, commercial impact, and records. The author suggests these fighters deserve inclusion based on their geographic expansion of the sport, ability to inspire followers, and overall influence. An alternative top-10 list is proposed that includes both Khabib and McGregor in higher positions.
