MMA commentator KALUGIN published a detailed response to another analyst's top 10 UFC fighters list, arguing that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor should be included. He suggested additional criteria beyond titles and defenses, including impact on popularizing MMA globally, peak performance dominance, commercial value, and records. KALUGIN's proposed top 10 places Jon Jones first, followed by Georges St-Pierre, Khabib, McGregor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. He emphasized that greatest fighters should be measured by their overall scale and influence on the sport, not just championship statistics.
