Athletistic/ MMA. AMC Fight Nights Global promotional organization head Kamil Gadzhiev has explained why UFC President Dana White included Irishman Conor McGregor in the organization’s top 5 best fighters and didn’t not put the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov on the list.

“Khabib’s rise in popularity is linked to Conor, not the other way around. And that’s a fact. Who is the coolest as a fighter? I’m thinking of Khabib. But who was the most famous at the time of their fight? Of course, Conor.” he completely changed the game. Because of him, a lot of people came to MMA as fans. Whether I like the Irishman or not, it’s a legend. I think if they pick the fighter of the century, it could be Conor,” Hajiyev said.

The top 5 fighters in UFC history according to Dana White are Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva and Ronda Rousey.
