How can you say its the best fight when it hasn't happened yet?

Gomi in his prime would probably iced most of those dudesThe game has evolved let's look previous LW champions
Jean Pulver - No comments
Sean Shrek - Good fighter but nowhere the level of Khabib or Fergusson
Bj Penn - Great fighter in his prime, but he was never up to this standard
Edgar - Great Fighter but same than BJ Penn also too small, Khabib and Fergusson are gigantic LW
Ben Henderson - Good fighter but not at Khabib and Fergie level
Rafael dos Anjos - Beaten by both already
Eddie Alvarez - Good fighter but not elite
Connor - Well we know what will happen if he fights a elite grappler.
Jesus christ, calm down. He's fought like 2 top 15 guys in his whole career.Nurmagomedov is the greatest LW of all time. So yeah, this is the real belt they're fighting for.
Sean Sherk was 34-2-1 when he fought BJ, with his only losses coming to the 2 best WW's ever (Hughes and St. Pierre), and he held the LW Title. You're right, he's no where even near Khabib or Tony.
Marcus Aurelio has never been finished though, that makes him a god. Plus half his decision losses are split decisions!Prime Gomi was chocked out by definition of mma mediocrity in one round and then won a split decision vs him in return fight.
I don't know about the best, but it's a good fight for this generation of LWs. Definitely excited, but I predict it going similiar to a Maia vs Brown fight in a sense that Khabib will likely control Ferguson on the ground. Anything can happen though. If Ferguson can prevent the TD or at the very least prevent being held down, then the fight may lean towards his favor.
