Glossary:
downplay:

Alexander Volkanovski also downplayed the lack of Khabib Nurmagomedov from his opponent’s camp and corner, mainly so it won’t be used as a mitigating factor when “The Great” wins.

spare no expense(不遗余力), tutelage(instruction, supervising):

and how the G.O.A.T. contender would spare no expense on camps preparing everyone for war. That dedication led to those under his tutelage going 19-2 in 2022.

given(considering):

It’s that last achievement on the list that has Volkanovski particularly excited about his next fight, especially given Makhachev’s perceived invincibility and close ties with lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.

as opposed to(in contrast to/rather than), rack up(win totally, completely):

With fresh challengers lining up for a shot, one could question whether it’s wise for Volkanovski to jump up to fight Makhachev as opposed to racking up title defenses at featherweight.


Some interesting sentences:

Volkanovski erased any doubts that he is one of MMA’s greatest champions with a 2022 campaign that saw him dispose of “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung with relative ease, then close out a trilogy over former featherweight champion Max Holloway by pitching a shutout at UFC 276.

The reason m0NESY was unable to rank higher in the list was **due in part to **missing more individual accolades(formal praise and approval given by authority) in comparison with the players above him and most of his higher-ranked peers outperforming him on an individual level. He also sported a 1.11 rating in Big Matches, which while not poor, was simply bested by those who placed higher.
