Makhachev Names the Greatest Fighter in UFC History

The current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has highlighted the best fighters in the organization's history across various categories, naming who he believes to be the greatest of all time.

"The best UFC fighter right now is Islam Makhachev. The most popular UFC fighter is Max Holloway. The best trash talker in UFC history is Conor McGregor. The best welterweight in UFC history is Georges St-Pierre. And the greatest fighter of all time, as always, is Khabib Nurmagomedov," Makhachev stated in an interview with TNT Sports.

It is worth noting that Makhachev, besides being the champion of the lightweight division, also tops the organization’s pound-for-pound (P4P) rankings, regardless of weight class.
