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.

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 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.
