Russian MMA commentator Kalugin published a lengthy analysis challenging another analyst's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, which omitted Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Kalugin argues that greatness should include impact on the sport's popularization, peak performance, fight dominance, commercial success, and records set, not just titles and defenses. He proposes his own top 10 list that includes Jon Jones at number one, Georges St-Pierre second, Khabib third, and McGregor fourth. The post sparked debate about whether fighters like Pereira and McGregor deserve placement above traditional legends like Anderson Silva. Kalugin emphasizes that his rankings incorporate broader criteria beyond just competitive achievements.
