Kalugin proposes alternative UFC GOAT list with Khabib and McGregor in top 10

MMA analyst Kalugin Boy responded to Vlad Matveev's top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, questioning the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not only titles and defenses but also impact on the sport, including popularization of MMA, peak performance, dominance in fights, commercial success, and records. He proposed additional criteria beyond Matveev's original metrics of quality opposition, title defenses, win streaks, career risks, finishes, longevity, and losses. Based on his expanded criteria, Kalugin's top 10 includes Jon Jones at number one, Georges St-Pierre at two, Khabib at three, and Conor McGregor at four. His list also features Alex Pereira at six, ahead of Anderson Silva at seven, which he acknowledges may be controversial.
