Best HW striker of all time?

[Aluminati]

Fedor. It's almost like people forgot how he fought Mirko in his prime.

Or how he defeated multiple other K1 champs in MMA in Hunt and Schilt by effectively mixing his striking and grappling.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Cro Cop

 

[650lb Sumo]

Ubereem wasn’t even human in his ultimate form.
He was the modern day Hercules and could slay man or beast with his bare hands.

After LHReem 2007, but before UberClean 2013, Peak Juiced to the Gills Reem.

Prime K1 Ubereem. Literally unstoppable at that particular time

Even Fedor’s management turned him down

Sergei kharitonov?

 

[Violent Violin]

Bas Rutten

Honestly, I used to really love his striking but watching it again, he had one hell of a long chamber to his kicks and I think he'd get countered easily by modern fighters.

Would have beaten the shit out of Rickson though

 

[Pequeño Corey]

So much disrespect for Stipe.

He owns the HW UFC record. 5 wins via strikes and one via decision in his legendary, yet to be surpassed HW UFC run, and ya’ll still hate on him.

 

[Violent Violin]

Gotta say that Fedor's striking standing was ridiculous and I have never seen anyone with the nuclear power in his ground strikes. No one has ever hit that hard on the ground.

"Sounds like a baseball bat hitting a buffalo." IYKYK

 

[Pierce 34]

Who the fook is that guy

 

[prime_lobov]

Has to be Thomas Aspinall wearing safety goggles

 

[Natural Order]

Fedor and Rizzo should definitely be on the list.

 

[Chama]

(tho some had his number like Rob & shemmy. Who has a better highlight reel package tho?)

+ Bob Sapp

 

[volcom5]

Alistair Overeem
Junior Dos Santos
Mirko Filipovic

Francis Ngannou imo only has power, his striking was very sloppy and wild for most of his career, only until the end of his career did he clean up his striking.

Aleks Emelianenko shouldn’t be in the conversation or in the top 10, fighters like Pat Barry, Stefan Struve, Cheick Kongo are a whole lot better.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

toss up between brett rodgers and gan mcgee

 

[cburm]

HW is always shallow but there was 2 periods that was very decent. Most of the time it nothing but heavy hitters with low skill and ironically the stacked periods at the most technical skilled strikers whonwere heavy hitters.

Whats your top 10?

JDS
Crocop
Aleks
Stipe
Sergei K
 Reem
Ngannou
Arlovski
Hunt
Gane

Francis literally nobody could stand with him

 

[djason1988]

I know he lost to Ngannou and been ko'd a few times, but if we're looking at overall striking skills, it's got to be Ubereem. If he ever had any semblance of a chin, I have 0 doubt he would have been the GOAT HW. Dude was an absolute terror for years.

 

[BowserJr]

Francis literally nobody could stand with him

He beat a lot of shopworn guys. Maybe still beats most in his prime but he'd likely get some losses. Look at what AJ did to him

 

[Ibm]

JDS.

 

[2009lurker]

Cro Cop or Hunt for me.

 

[djacobox372]

Francis literally nobody could stand with him

Gane turned him into a panic wrestler.

 

[cheesus]

Either Cro Cop or Overeem, I'll probably go Cro Cop as Overeem had a lot of help from steroids, JDS or Hunt close behind.

Both had pretty complete games, Cro Cop had the better footwork, boxing & was more agile, Overeem was better in the clinch and had more finishing abilities in his arsenal.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

He beat a lot of shopworn guys. Maybe still beats most in his prime but he'd likely get some losses. Look at what AJ did to him

as in Anthony Joshua, the second best heavyweight in the world in boxing? What do you think AJ would do to any other MMA fighter there?
