Quick read
A lengthy post discusses a top-10 greatest UFC fighters list by Vlad Matveev that excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, sparking debate. The author argues that greatness should include additional criteria beyond titles and opposition, such as influence on the sport, popularization of MMA, peak performance, dominance in fights, commercial impact, and records. The author proposes an alternative top-10 that includes Jon Jones first, followed by GSP, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. The post emphasizes that while Matveev's work was thorough, measuring greatness requires considering broader impact beyond just competitive achievements.
