Kalugin debates top 10 greatest UFC fighters, includes Khabib and Conor

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. Kalugin argues that greatness should include additional criteria beyond titles and opposition, such as impact on MMA popularization, peak form, fight dominance, commercial success, and records. He proposes his own top 10: Jon Jones, GSP, Khabib, Conor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. Kalugin emphasizes that fighters like Khabib and Conor made massive contributions to expanding MMA globally and inspiring new generations of fighters. His ranking sparked debate about how to properly evaluate all-time greatness in the sport.
