Alexander Volkanovski’s top five UFC fighters of all time doesn’t include some popular fighters usually included.
The greatest of all time debate in the UFC is one that is always argued amongst fans, with most people crediting Jon Jones as the greatest.
Despite that, in many people’s eyes, Alex Pereira is potentially on his way to cementing himself as the greatest of all time, despite having only joined the UFC in 2021.
UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, though, has given his top five UFC fighters of all time list, which doesn’t include the likes of ‘Bones’ and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Volkanovski includes Islam Makhachev in top 5 fighters of all time list
Usually people’s reasons for leaving Jones out of any GOAT debates is because of his several failed drug tests throughout his career.
Despite that, ‘The Great’ Volkanovski didn’t even mention the former UFC heavyweight champion when he revealed his top five.
“Top five UFC GOATs, I’m gonna be completely honest, Demetrious Johnson, I don’t know how many title fights he won, the competition and level at flyweight, I don’t think people understand, it is so competitive,” Volkanovski said in a video on his YouTube channel.
“Georges St-Pierre. Who else have we got? Man, you know what, I think Islam (Makhachev) has done enough to put himself in that conversation, I think I would put him there.
“This might be bias but I’m gonna throw in Israel Adesanya. You’ve got to remember who he’s beat, beating Robert Whittaker in his prime twice.
“You’ve got Anderson Silva obviously, who has done incredible things as well and again, we have got to look at the timing as well. People might say it’s bias but alright, I’m bias anyway but I’m throwing Izzy in there.”
