Currently who are the 2 best strikers in the ufc

[Simple Southerner]

you don't know grandmaster Gizmo j? He's the best striker & grappler

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

Cause he has been KTFO’d a few times in MMA?

OK, so you can't be an elite striker if you're knocked out? Guess I didn't get that memo. His striking is slick, powerful, and multi-faceted. Look what he did to Gaetche, Hooker, Alvarez, Pettis, and Holloway recently. . . but sure, no business being mentioned here.

 

[Naught2Sixty]

My left hand and my right hand.

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

Excuse me, but why the fuck isn't Dustin the mother fucking Diamond Poirier being mentioned up in here!?

Because Poirier is more well rounded than a specialist

 

[Frankie Baby!]

LHW - the champ
BW - Yan
FW - Zabit
LW - Poirier
WW - Wboy or Geoff Neal
MW - Adesanya
LHW - Reyes (inb4 but the polish guy KTFO him)
HW - Stipe

Poirier over Conor??? Wtf??

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Ngannou, obviously.
Second is Izzy.

 

[MoreKane]

LHW - the champ
BW - Yan
FW - Zabit
LW - Poirier
WW - Wboy or Geoff Neal
MW - Adesanya
LHW - Reyes (inb4 but the polish guy KTFO him)
HW - Stipe

Stipe is great but is he really the best striker at HW

Rozenstruik is probably a superior striker than Stipe to be honest

Why don't we compare jones and Khabib all 13 fights ...

In Jones first 13 UFC fights the only adversity he faced was getting caught in a sub by Vitor and he went on to dominate that fight.

 

[Willek]

Jonathon Goulet and Sam Stout.

 

[Nytron]

Despite them being past prime, Overeem and Anderson Silva.

 

[OmegaRugal]

1. Conor
2. Izzy
3. Ngannou just on pure speed and power for his weight class.

 

[BangBang]

Schevchenko
Wonderboy

 

[BangBang]

Max and Nunes

Like it.

I went for Valentina and Wonderboy but I wanted to put Max. Figured, Wonderboy takes way less damage for shots landed so went with him.

Why don't we compare jones and Khabib all 13 fights ...

Jon has more wins in Title fights than Khabib has total UFC fights.

 

[stacrafty]

some many causal fn shertards up in this thread mentioning Khabib.

His striking is fn average. The only reason, ONLY REASON, he has success with it, is his opponents are hugely fearful of the takedown. That sets an opening for the average striking. Thats how he hit Connor.

You think in purely striking how Khabib would go with
Connor
Diaz
Gaethje
Porier
Hooker

any top 10 pretty much lol, he'd get destroyed.

This forum is so fn dumb sometimes.

 

[NDiaz209]

Ngannou. Even Stipe (Golden Gloves winner) is afraid to strike with him.

 

[JKS]

Israel Adesenya and Conor McGregor

 

[Ufcmaster]

In Jones first 13 UFC fights the only adversity he faced was getting caught in a sub by Vitor and he went on to dominate that fight.

And that sub did more damage to his arm than any damage Khabib has received.

 

[Ufcmaster]

Jon has more wins in Title fights than Khabib has total UFC fights.

Khabib unfortunately had never the luck to fight the Anthony Smith's or Chael sonnen's of the World for title fights.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Conor, Izzy and Wonderboy in no patricular order. When you watch them on their best day, it looks like different sport to others. Fluidity and ease of movement is on full display when they fight and when they finish someone, it is so clinical most of the time.

That, and Ngannou
