The UFC’s 30th anniversary date has come and gone, and in the build-up to the milestone date, MMA Junkie counted down its 30 greatest fighters of all time to compete for the promotion.
There was plenty of debate about the entire list from top to bottom, and one of the major discussion points was about our top 10: Who doesn’t belong there?
The final list was tabulated through a points system after voting from MMA Junkie’s 12-person staff. Two names brought up as being too high were Alexander Volkanovski at No. 9 and Stipe Miocic at No. 10, a major point of conversation on MMA Junkie’s special edition of “Spinning Back Clique,” where the majority of our staff came together to discuss and debate the finer points of the list, including which top-10 fighter is ranked too high.
