Debate over UFC's greatest fighters: should Khabib and McGregor make top 10?

A detailed debate has emerged over ranking the greatest UFC fighters of all time. The discussion responds to Vlad Matveev's top-10 list, which notably excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The author argues that greatness should include not only titles and defenses but also impact on the sport, including popularization of MMA, peak performance, dominance in fights, commercial draw, and records. The author proposes additional criteria beyond just opposition quality and title defenses, emphasizing that fighters like McGregor and Khabib expanded MMA's reach globally and in the Arab world respectively. A revised top-10 list is presented with Jon Jones first, Georges St-Pierre second, Khabib third, and McGregor fourth, followed by Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes.
