Media Hardest hitting LW ever?

[HHJ]

khabib said gaethje hits the hardest
dustin said conor hits harder than gaethje

so either gaethje or conor i guess

Conor never really hit Khabib with his best punches. By the time he landed any strikes,it was already after Khabib besmirched and confusticated him on the ground,and he had very little pop left.

 

[HHJ]

Nope, Penn finished him prime vs. prime. Nick Diaz also finished him, though he was DQ'd for his pot habit. Hellboy and someone else beat him in his early days as well.

What does that have to do with him hitting hard?

 

[smiles mma]

Stephens is a very good choice ….Gomi had quite a few one punch ko’s ….Dropped Nick Diaz with one punch ….I always thought of him as an extremely hard puncher

Gomi was a hard hitter, Didn't mean he wasn't.

 

[JustBleed69]

Justin is probably the correct answer.

Crazy that Tony and Khabib took clean shots from Gaethje like that.

 

[r-harper-1]

Pfft Let Gomi Train with Trevor Whittman for a year and he’ll show you some damn power

 

[TJ Dillashank]

the Stephens that slept RDA

 

[OldBoy91]

Bushido Gomi > everyone.

Guillard is a close second.

 

[OldBoy91]

Gomi has 14 ko/tko's in 52 fights.

Gaethje is 22-3 with 19 knockouts.

What's your point?

Bisping has more KO/TKOs on his record than Chuck Liddell does. I don't think anybody with a brain would use that as an argument for Bisping hitting harder.

Justin has a lot of leg kick finishes from WSOF as well, he only really has 2 one punch KOs. Gomi has plenty.

If there was one human being Justin would have tried to wrestle at LW, that would have been Bushido Gomi.

And then he would've gotten ktfo trying.

based on what Gathje fight makes you believe this? i highly highly doubt it lol. Justin has been in there with killers he's as game as they come when throwing leather and hasn't backed down from a fire fight in the pocket once.

sure gomi hit like a truck but so does Chandler. Gomi was overrated imo. Justin wins a dog fight against him.

Bisping also has more fights than chuck 30 wins 18 (T)KO 60% finish rate, Chuck 21 wins 13 (T)KO 62% finish rate. so bad comparison.

Justin has less fights and more finishes. He's also fought tougher competition so it's not as easy to one shot KO anyone when you're at the top of the division.

Justin is far away from the hardest puncher at LW, its just a narrative the UFC used to sell the Kabeb fight better and now one the religious trolljobs love to jump on to praise their braddas chin.

Yup. They did the same thing when Dan Hardy fought GSP. They said he had one punch KO power and had "Perfect striking" when he was actually known for going to the decision a lot and was actually a worse striker than GSP.

Its good to see who gets pulled in by the marketing though.

 

[SalazarSlytherin]

Came here to post this...

In the interview afterwards Diaz gave credit to Him, said "he hits like a mf"

I remember in one interview, Diaz was wearing sunglasses to hide how destroyed his eye was from that one punch. He mentioned Gomi hit him with a “hoduken or some shit”. Lol.

 

[TheVenom]

Guillard’s power completely carried him. Shame he was so one dimensional, because he hit like a dang MW. He and Gomi had bricks for fists.

 

[Azure]

Jeremy Stephens has to be up there near the top.

 

[sfer1]

I can see Justin being the hardest hitting, although Chandler is another pick.

Conor is the most precise

MJ probably has the fastest hands.

McNuggets is 1-3 at LW.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

McNuggets is 1-3 at LW.

Doesn't change that fact that he is very precise.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Melvin Guillard had some terrifying power back in the day, at the time raw one punch ko power from a lightweight was a rare sight.

This. He was also stupid fast. I honestly thought he would go on a tear and be champ back in the day - I thought he was just too explosive not to. Boy, was I wrong.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Gaethje probably but how does he stack up against Yeremy " when I knock people out they don't move" Stephens?

 

[El Panteron]

Stevens, Guillard, Gomi, I think Poirier has more power than Gaethje too. There´s Chandler as well.
