MMA analyst Kalugin Boy responded to Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, expressing surprise that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were excluded while fighters like Daniel Cormier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Randy Couture made the cut. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not just titles and opposition quality, but also impact on the sport's popularity, peak performance levels, fight dominance, commercial value, and records. He suggests additional criteria like contribution to MMA popularization, geographical expansion, and inspiration to future fighters. Based on his expanded criteria, Kalugin's personal top 10 would include Jon Jones at number one, followed by GSP, Khabib, Conor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. He acknowledges this ranking is subjective and invites debate on what truly defines greatness in MMA.
