Kalugin debates greatest UFC fighters, includes Khabib and McGregor in top 10

Analyst Kalugin responded to a top 10 greatest UFC fighters list by Vlad Matveev, expressing surprise at the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not just titles and opposition quality, but also impact on the sport, popularity, peak performance, dominance in fights, commercial success, and records. He proposes his own top 10 that includes Jones first, followed by GSP, Khabib third, and McGregor fourth. Kalugin emphasizes that fighters like McGregor and Khabib massively expanded MMA's global reach and inspired countless followers, which should factor into greatness discussions. His list also includes Aldo, Pereira, Silva, Mighty Mouse, Makhachev, and Nunes in the top ten.
