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

MMA analyst Kalugin published his subjective top 10 greatest UFC fighters of all time, disagreeing with another analyst's list that excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not only titles and opposition quality but also impact on the sport, peak form, fight dominance, commercial value, and records. His top 10 includes: Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Islam Makhachev, and Amanda Nunes. He emphasizes that fighters like Khabib and McGregor massively expanded MMA's global reach and inspired countless people to join the sport, which he believes are crucial factors in determining all-time greatness.
