Islam Makhachev, the UFC lightweight champion, listed the top five MMA fighters to date.
“We have a pound-for-pound list, I think Volkanovski is on the first place in the case, followed by Adesanya... I think these lists are made by professionals. Kamaru Usman would definitely be in the top 3. Then I always put Demetrius Johnson in the top even though he left the UFC. He is generally the first in terms of skills, he could be in first place. Well, they put me in third place now.”
Recall that Makhachev will fight his next fight against Alexa Volkanovski. The confrontation will take place on February 11 in Perth.
