Kalugin debates top 10 UFC fighters, argues for Khabib and McGregor inclusion

Russian MMA commentator Kalugin published a detailed response to Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, arguing that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor should be included. Kalugin proposes additional criteria beyond titles and opposition, including impact on MMA popularization, peak form, dominance in fights, commercial value, and records. He credits McGregor with worldwide MMA popularization and Khabib with expanding the sport in the Arab world. Kalugin's revised top 10 includes Jon Jones first, Georges St-Pierre second, Khabib third, McGregor fourth, and Alex Pereira sixth ahead of Anderson Silva.
