UFC President Dana White explains why he didn't include former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabiba Nurmagomedova in the ranking of the greatest fighters in history.

“Yes, I chose Jon Jones, GSP, Usman and Anderson. The same Anderson added Khabib. He was there longer. Khabib's dominance was incredible, but these are different eras with different skill levels,” White said.

Khabib Nurmagomedov ended his fighting career in October 2020.
