Favorite "hard hitting gatekeeper" type

[BigMuffler]

Who is your favorite fighter who is known for hitting very hard but isn't usually perceived as a truly elite guy and usually loses to them? For example Hunt, Black Beast, OSP, Manuwa, Brunson, Ellenburger, Michael Johnson (list feeling a bit racist here lol), Stephens, Lineker.

The girl on the left looks confused. The girl in the middle looks shocked. And the girl on the right looks happy as fuck for some reason.

Manhoef, Daley, and Manuwa come to mind.

I would have said Guillard, but he gets his ass kicked by everyone now.

Thiago Alvarez for a stretch. I don't know if GSP broke him, but he was a vicious monster. Thiago Silva too.

What? Do you know what gatekeeper means?
The guy has earned two Shots at the title, both very close fights, and will prob get a 3rd.
Dudes a contender not a gatekeeper

Matt Brown?

I've always like watching OSP. dude gets overmatched with anyone in the top 5 pretty much but as a gatekeeper destroys anyone trying to crack the top 10. great athlete with power- his KO versus corey anderson was one of the worst I've ever seen live
