Dana White Reveals Her Top 5 Fighters, But No Khabib Nurmagomedov
JAKARTA - UFC President Dana White revealed the five best UFC fighters of all time. Who are they?
"Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, GSP (Georges St-Pierre)," White told GQ, quoted on Friday.
"There were so many other people who had to be there, Usman had to be there. Regardless of what you think of Jon, it's hard not to call him GOAT," continued White.
The names above, really, are not surprising. Because Jones is the youngest ever champion in UFC history and his fighting style has made him an MMA icon.
Meanwhile, Anderson Silva is probably the deadliest fighter ever. He defended the bantamweight belt 10 times and still holds the longest-running record in the league.
The GSP dominated the welterweight division for many years and won two divisions.

Then, Ronda Rousey was the first woman to be inducted into the hall of fame in 2018, and in 2013, she was considered the best female pound-for-pound mixed martial arts fighter in the world.
Whereas Conor McGregor needs no introduction, he has been and remains a UFC icon, even if he isn't currently fighting. Then, where is the name Khabib Nurmagomedov?
“Believe me when I tell you I have tried to convince Khabib to come out of retirement. We'll see what happens over the next few years," White said.
"I feel like he's gone in his prime, look what he did to Justin Gaethje before he retired."
