I decided to try and decipher the best MMA heavyweights of all time using the long and rich 31-year history of Fight Matrix rankings.

For my points system, if a fighter was ranked in the top 10 in a quarterly ranking published by Fight Matrix, they would receive at least 1 point. The full points scheme is listed below...

1st place - 15 points

2nd place - 12 points

3rd place - 9 points

4th place - 7 points

5th place - 6 points

6th place - 5 points

7th place - 4 points

8th place - 3 points

9th place - 2 points

10th place - 1 point

The final results can be seen below...

1. Fedor Emelianenko - 514

The undefeated Khabib defends once more against his toughest challenge so far on the next Fight Island on UFC 254.

Who do you think will win the fight?

My money is on Khabib  but Gaethje might have the highest chance anyone ever has against Khabib.
