Analyst ranks McGregor and Nurmagomedov in top 10 greatest UFC fighters ever

Russian MMA analyst Kalugin published his subjective ranking of the top 10 greatest UFC fighters of all time, responding to another analyst's list that excluded Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not just titles and opposition quality, but also impact on the sport's popularization, peak performance dominance, commercial success, and records set. His top 10 includes: 1) Jon Jones, 2) GSP, 3) Khabib Nurmagomedov, 4) Conor McGregor, 5) Jose Aldo, 6) Alex Pereira, 7) Anderson Silva, 8) Demetrious Johnson, 9) Islam Makhachev, and 10) Amanda Nunes. The analyst emphasizes that McGregor and Khabib's contributions to global MMA expansion and their ability to dominate opponents justify their inclusion despite having fewer title defenses than some other legends.
