List of “GOAT”
Conor McGregor
Few can compare to McGregor‘s influence in popularizing mixed martial arts (MMA) and bringing it to a broader audience—the Irishman being the greatest draw in the promotion’s history—as the first simultaneous two-division champion in UFC history.
Jon Jones
Before he won the heavyweight championship last year, Jones solidified his reputation as the most dominant light-heavyweight champion in UFC history.
Despite having a stunning record of 27 victories—his only loss came from being disqualified against Matt Hamill in 2009—the American boxer is a contentious character outside the octagon.
Amanda Nunes
Brazil’s Nathalie Nunes, the UFC’s only two-time double champion, ruled the featherweight and bantamweight classes for nearly five years.
Ronda Rousey
Rousey, the first female fighter recruited by the UFC, cleared the path for other women to compete with males at the top level.
The American, who won six title defenses as a bantamweight champion, gained notoriety for the UFC outside of the cage due to her intimidating demeanor outside of it.
Khabib Nurmagomedov
The 29-fight career of Russian fighter Nurmagomedov ended in retirement in 2020, having never lost. This accomplishment has never been matched in the UFC.
Anderson Silva
After dominating the middleweight division for seven years starting in 2006 during his reign as champion, Brazil’s Silva now has the longest victory streak (16 wins) in UFC history.
Georges St-Pierre
Though he won the middleweight title in his last fight of 2017, St-Pierre, a Canadian, is considered the greatest UFC welterweight of all time. He held the title for a record nine times.
