Anthony Pettis, a former UFC lightweight champion, explained why he did not include the current champion of the organization Islam Makhacheva in his ranking of the best lightweights in MMA history.

“Can Makhachev be considered a great lightweight? He still has some work to do. Yes, he beat Volkanovski, and Volkanovski is a great fighter, but he is not a lightweight. He doesn't have a single win over a top 10 lightweight fighter, but I think he can prove himself. He is an amazing fighter, but he still has a lot to improve.”
