However, fans were left bewildered by a particular fact concerning Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Jon Jones.

Khabib Nurmagomed was arguably one of the most competent fighters in the UFC.  “Eagle” was undefeated in his fights with a record of 29-0 in his career. He started the Dagestani phenomenon in the UFC and to now include him in the top 5 fighters was a shocker for many with one of the fans directly calling out the UFC.

Similarly, another called out the game.

Furthermore, another emphasized that UFC 5 took 3 years to develop and the fact that it doesn’t include much of new characters is an understatement.
