Who would you say are the strongest guys all-time in the original 5 weightclasses?

[Njmma209]

Original 5 meaning before the introduction of the WEC weightclasses into the UFC. Here’s my choices for LW 155lbs through HW 265lbs.







What’s your guys list?

 

[DLX]

LW - BJ Penn
WW - GSP
MW - Anderson Silva
LHW - Jon Jones
HW - Fedor

Those. Those are the strongest guys.

 

[Deleted member 549255]

Remember how Anderson ragdolled poor Ace in the clinch?

I agree with TS.

 

[NoSmilez]

Jim miller

 

[ThinkBig500]

Costa is not stronger than Paul Harris or Lombard

 

[Sweater of AV]

Those guys are pretty strong.

 

[Mike K.O]

I'd say Hunto is the strongest HW.
You should see him in Tug of War if you haven't already.

 

[chitoortiz]

LW:

(All natty bruh)

 

[funksoulbrother]

Lw sherk
Ww hughes
Mw romero
Lhw ortiz
Hw brock

 

[Luke Rockhold's Chin]

Costa is not stronger than Paul Harris or Lombard

He definitely is, his sticks are much more powerful. Maybe in a towing competition Lombard et al would tow a truck better than him but in MMA his explosiveness is much more valuable

We don’t need a list.

Phi Baroni is the strongest man to ever compete in any weight class.

Mariusz Pudzianowski is 2nd.

Nobody is 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

 

[Goon Dog]

Randy Couture had the strongest clinch strength I've ever felt in my life. I mean like fucking comic book strength. I had him by at least 20 lbs and he absolutely owned me.

 

[Hypetrainofthemonth]

HW: Brock/Shane carwin
LHW: Rumble or rampage
MW: yoel
WW: Hendricks
LW: didn't Sherk fight at LW?

 

[dildos]

HW - hunt
LHW - rumble
MW - romero
WW - hughes
LW - bj

 

[gono btw]

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

HW - Carwin
LHW - Rampage
MW - Romero
WW - Hughes
LW - Sherk

 

[Sapp]

UFC only I assume (otherwise Pudz is there).
These would be my guesses as being some of the strongest.

 

[wilKO]

HW: Mariusz Pudzianowski
LHW: Cormier
MW: Romero
WW: Hughes
LW: Khabib

 

[Gamer2k4]

Muscles and strength are not the same thing. Jones and Anderson are supposedly some of the strongest guys in their divisions, and neither are jacked like the guys in your pictures. And I imagine Carwin was stronger than Lesnar.

Okay, you're going by appearances and not by actually who has shown themselves to be strong.
