Powerful thick legs I think are the reason they were actually exploding through guys and not holding them against the cage.
 
I used to spend half my gym time doing the leg press.

I really should've trained UFC too.
 
Upper body strength is more important though. It's the reason guys can get away with fighting below their true weight class by not putting any muscle on their legs. You could not afford to keep your weight down by losing muscle in your upper body, you would just get ragdolled.

Very true. More so when applied to boxing, since they aren't required to get up off the canvas with a wrestler hanging all their weight on them strategic places for leverage.
 
Also, skinny legs usually equals high cardio. Kamaru, Jones, Nate/Nick Diaz, holloway etc.
