8. Conor McGregor
Some might expect Conor McGregor to be higher up this list based on the fact that he’s a former two-weight champion. Well, he’s only fought twice at 155lbs in the UFC. The first was an incredibly dominant dissection of Eddie Alvarez, which was probably the best performance of his MMA career.
The second was a calamitous clash with Khabib Nurmagamedov that ended with him getting submitted in the third round. McGregor also held onto the belt for way too long without defending it, which is why he ended up in 8th. His overall UFC legacy sees him creep ahead of the two guys above him.
