I think it's high time we redefined the term "pillow-fisted". Looking forward to a KO artist saying something cool like: "My fist is like a pillow - one touch to the head and you go to sleep."I go to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
So my answer is Mark Hunt or Dan Henderson.
Most WMMA fighters?
Bisping, GSP, Diaz bros, Cruz, Chael
GSP and Chael first to come to mind.
Cruz, Rivera, Frankie, Cub, Lee, Chiesa, GSP, Werdum..
Paulie MalinaggiI mean is it really a thing?
Someone already mentioned him, his fight with Henderson was just sad, he mounted him for 20+ minutes with no power to hurt him.No love for Jake Shields?
dropped sergio pettis, but pettis seems a little chinny.Maybe Alex Caceres. I don't recall him ever hurting any of his opponents with punches.
Most fighters that are perceived as having pillow fists are reallyjust fighting in a way which allows them to win through pressure/volume rather than loading up for a big KO (and gassing when they fail)
jon jonesI mean is it really a thing?
Lmao I forgot about this gem
He doesn't have pillow fists. He has strong fists, just a pillow mentality.
yup. nate is as close as it comes, and even he will TKO guys eventually. like in the maynard fight, he never actually goes down but the ref will step in and stop it.Nate Diaz springs to mind.
