Debate erupts over top 10 greatest UFC fighters excluding Khabib and McGregor

A discussion has emerged following Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, which notably excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The original ranking included fighters like Daniel Cormier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Randy Couture. The post argues that greatness should include additional criteria beyond titles and opposition quality, such as contribution to MMA popularization, peak form, fight dominance, commercial impact, and records. An alternative top 10 is proposed: 1) Jon Jones, 2) Georges St-Pierre, 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 post emphasizes that both Khabib and McGregor significantly expanded MMA's global reach and inspired countless followers.
