Who is the hardest hitter we´ve ever seen in the lightweight division?

[Kung Fu bb]

There are many heavy handed guys at LW division.

But I used to like Melvin Guillard a lot. The guys has 53 fights, 33 wins, 23 by TKO/KO.




And for you sherbro, who´s the hardest hitter we´ve seen at LW?

 

[welcometohavoc]

Jeremy Stephens probably. IIRC he's up there with Anderson Silva in # of knockdowns ever landed and he's a LW/FW

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

In B4 Conor.

Melvin could crack man, I was at his fight when he KO’d Mac Danzig, that was brutality personified.

I gotta give a shoutout to Jeremy Stephens, the uppercut he landed on Dos Anjos was one of the most powerful KO’s I’ve seen.

 

[Mr T_712]

Could be Cerrone or maybe Pettis.

 

[BoD 2.0]

BJ Penn. I can type out a nice argument and facts backing this up, but I don't really think it's necessary.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

 

[McGeezle]

Could be Cerrone or maybe Pettis.

Think he means hands

 

[BoD 2.0]

Could be Cerrone or maybe Pettis.

 

[BobTheCockroach]

Conor Mcgregor

Sherdoggers treat Conor's skills & accomplishments just like Ronda does her Holm loss
Keep pretending you bums

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Jeremy Stephens probably. IIRC he's up there with Anderson Silva in # of knockdowns ever landed and he's a LW/FW

Nope. Guillard has the record for KO at LW division in the UFC. With 7.

Edit: You said knockdowns, I understood knockouts. Sorry.

 

[Fatback96]

Could be Cerrone or maybe Pettis.

If we're doing not just hands, then Barboza by a mile.

 

[KingBeef]

I'd probably have to agree with Melvin and Jeremy. If we're talking kicks, its Edson.

A lot of new fans don't know how much of a killer Gomi was 13 or 14 years ago. They only see the old washed up version but in his prime the Fireball Kid was a devastating puncher.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

i came to say Pride Gomi, but Melvin is actually a damn good choice.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

as a conor nuthugger, it's not conor.


dudes power gets overrated so much, he's a decent hitter but it's his timing, accuracy, technique, counters, etc etc.


probably guillard or prime gomi.

 

[Rehydrated Dos Anjos]

Nate Diaz has powerful hands according to Rogan lol

 

[Der Eisbär]

No one hits like Conor at LW.

 

[quantiqus]

Probably Stephens. You can all "who the fuck is that guy", but Conor had mostly TKOs, not KOs (except Aldo). Stephens really put some guys to sleep. KO!

A lot new fans don't know how much of a killer Gomi was 13 or 14 years ago. They only see the old washed up version but in his prime the Fireball Kid was a devastating puncher.

his 2 or 3 year run from BJ to Nick Diaz was simply unreal. like Shogun's 4 top 10 wins in 3 months, it will probably never be duplicated.

and a lot of it was on $20 Bushido PPV's, which made it even better.
