Kalugin presents top 10 greatest UFC fighters including Nurmagomedov, McGregor

Kalugin published his subjective top 10 greatest UFC fighters list, disagreeing with Vlad Matveev's rankings which excluded Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Kalugin argues that greatness should include not just titles and opposition quality, but also broader impact criteria like contribution to MMA popularization, peak form, fight dominance, commercial success, and records. His top 10 includes: 1) Jon Jones, 2) Georges St-Pierre, 3) Khabib Nurmagomedov, 4) Conor McGregor, 5) Jose Aldo, 6) Alex Pereira, 7) Anderson Silva, 8) Demetrious Johnson, 9) Islam Makhachev, and 10) Amanda Nunes. He emphasizes that fighters like McGregor and Nurmagomedov made massive contributions to expanding MMA's global reach despite potentially having fewer title defenses than other legends.
