MMA analyst Kalugin responded to Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, expressing surprise at the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor despite the inclusion of Daniel Cormier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Randy Couture. Kalugin argues that greatness should include impact on sport popularization, peak performance, fight dominance, commercial success, and records, not just titles and opposition quality. He presents his own top 10 list with Jon Jones first, Georges St-Pierre second, Khabib third, McGregor fourth, and Jose Aldo fifth. Kalugin acknowledges the subjectivity of such rankings while emphasizing that fighters like Khabib and McGregor expanded MMA's global reach and inspired countless followers in ways that pure championship statistics cannot capture.
