Dana White's top 5 UFC fighters of all-time

#4. Conor McGregor - former UFC featherweight & lightweight champion

Conor McGregor has a record of 22-6

No fighter in history has made the UFC more money than Conor McGregor, so it's not surprising that Dana White named him in his top five. While his results may not have been stellar lately, McGregor does have an incredible resume inside the octagon, so it's easy to understand his inclusion here.

McGregor burst onto the scene in 2013 when he made his promotional debut and went 9-1 in his first 10 fights in the promotion. During this stretch, McGregor won both the featherweight and lightweight titles, becoming the first fighter ever to hold two belts at the same time.

McGregor is a global superstar, and despite his recent struggles, he will be welcomed back to the octagon with open arms should he return next year as expected. With that being said, if he was judged exclusively on his performances inside the octagon, there may be some who would question his spot in the top five of all-time.

#3. Ronda Rousey - former UFC bantamweight champion

Ronda Rousey has a record of 12-2

Ronda Rousey is another name who may not be universally agreed upon as a top five fighter all-time. With that being said, her impact on the sport was monumental, and at her best, she was one of the most dominant champions we have ever seen.

Rousey's popularity forced the UFC to allow women to compete in the promotion, and she happily put the division on her back. She racked up six successful defenses of her bantamweight title and finished all but one of those opponents inside the first round.

Her time in the UFC did come to a disappointing end after she lost consecutive bouts to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, but her legend status in the sport is secure. While some may argue if she deserves to be in the sport's top five, her achievements inside the octagon are undeniable.
