Anthony Pettis, a former UFC lightweight champion, ranked the best lightweights in MMA history, including himself in the top five.
"Greatest? I canāt help but mention BJ Penn. This is the main pioneer. Without him, none of this would have happened at all. I would also include Ben Herderson in the top 5. Plus, the list should include Khabib Nurmagomedov, a dominant undefeated fighter. I would add Dustin Poirier to the list. Well, and yourself,ā said the fighter.
