Debate over greatest UFC fighters of all time excludes Khabib and McGregor

A lengthy opinion piece discusses the criteria for ranking the greatest UFC fighters of all time in response to a top-10 list by Vlad Matveev. The author expresses surprise at the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor from the top-10 despite the inclusion of Daniel Cormier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Randy Couture. The author argues that greatness should include not just titles and opposition quality but also contributions to popularizing MMA, peak performance, fight dominance, commercial impact, and records. Based on expanded criteria, the author's personal top-10 includes Jon Jones, GSP, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. The post emphasizes that all such rankings are inherently subjective.
