Give an example of a "pillow fist" fighter?

[Koro]

GSP and Chael first to come to mind.

 

[Cpl. Cam]

Jake Shields.

 

[PorkPiePusher]

HOW IN THE SEVEN HELLS IS "CLAY GUIDA" NOT THE FIRST, AND INDEED EVERY ANSWER!?!?!?!

 

[ostlerrage]

Nate Diaz springs to mind.

Yep. he's a punching bag with a chin of concrete.

 

[Caicara]

HOW IN THE SEVEN HELLS IS "CLAY GUIDA" NOT THE FIRST, AND INDEED EVERY ANSWER!?!?!?!

He just ko'd lauzon.


Werdum
Nogueira
Sonnen
Theodorou
Yahya
Jones
Rockhold
Formiga
Borg
Maia
And much more

 

[JayE]

Werdum
Nogueira

Jones
Rockhold
Formiga
Borg

Rockhold has a bit of power in his right hand, and he has some of the most devastating ground and pound in the sport.

Lol at people saying Bisping.
*snipped picture of Cung Lee*

Jakes on you, only pillow fist fighters do that sort of cumulative superficial damage to a fighter. Ever seen a Mark Hunt opponent with messed up face like Cung Lee? Me neither. Big hitters don't get to hit their opponents faces 100's of times.

Yet Conor has as many one punch ko's.. 3 in smaller gloves, as Paulie does in bigger gloves.

 

[agibmxmma]

Cruz, Rivera, Frankie, Cub, Lee, Chiesa, GSP, Werdum..

 

[Alphafail]

Chael Sonnen.

 

[tonni]

mark hunt

 

[Troy Nelson]

Woulda said Bisping but he bombed out Cockhold

Woulda said GSP but he bombed out Bisping

 

[MrCoffee]

LOL

I still do not get why this is being pushed on MMA fans. WMMA is awful.

 

[lenbiasgoat]

Sara mcmann in full mount

 

[ZOD66]

Most WMMA fighters?

WTF is this

[HUGHPHUG]

I mean is it really a thing?

I hate the phrase, and there are some idiotic answers in this thread

So if a guy isn't a Mark Hunt KO machine they basically have pillow fists. Or if a form of striking is not a fighters natural fighting technique they have pillow fists.

 

[100action]

Frank Mir
Michael Bisping
Nick Diaz
Nate Diaz
GSP
Jake Shields
Jon Jones
Chael Sonnen

i watched a different video of a him fighting and it was like he was pulling his punches.
100 punches a minute. each only strong enough to antagonise a butterfly.
