Hardest Puncher at every weight class in UFC History?

[Elvis.]

Honourable mention to Igor Vovchanchyn
That fire hydrant looking guy threw bungalow’s

 

[Aluminati]

MW is easily Manhoef. The guy slept Hunt moving backwards.

 

[RemyR]

You do know that is Melvin, right?


89kg Manhoef ko'd 130kg Hunto with one shot to the dome. K1 Dynamite 2008 Japan.
I watched it live on TV here in Japan. He (Hunt) was supposed to fight Le Banner, but he withdrew and in stepped Manhoef, the rest is history.

Huh?

First one is vs Hunt, second one is vs Ruslan Karaev in K1. The Ruslan fight especially shows how crisp he was in addition to his freakish power.

Ok fair enough. That is a Melvin (Manhoef) but the gifs were quoting Melvin Guillard, who that definitely isn't.

If it was quoting Guillard, then my bad.
I was thinking how can someone not know that wasn't Manhoef?
With those iconic fight shorts, he wears.

CM punk deserves a mention.

askren.

This would be my list as well.

Maia.

Kron.

 

[brody_in_ga]

HW: Chase Sherman

LHW: Forrest Griffin

MW: Elias Thourodou

WW: Ben Asskrin

LW: Diego

FW: Kron

BW: Tim Sylvia

FW: Bob Sapp

 

[Sano]

Ok fair enough. That is a Melvin (Manhoef) but the gifs were quoting Melvin Guillard, who that definitely isn't.

Ah you're right. They were talking about LW.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Being from California, I’m not surprised.

Which means what exactly?

…and your from where? Come on own it starman, what city are you from tell me with your worldly wisdom and baseless blanket reasoning.

 

[Dorkman]

HW: Carwin
LHW: Rumble
MW: Hendo
WW: Hendricks

This is the correct list to me. Carwin didn't have to throw huge haymakers like Ngannou does to devastate peoples lives.

 

[Starman]

This is the correct list to me. Carwin didn't have to throw huge haymakers like Ngannou does to devastate peoples lives.

Agreed. Carwin was knocking dudes dead with jabs and short, straight punches.

Which means what exactly?

That you’re braindead.

 

[zr1vette]

Good list, I think AJ hit harder than Rampage at LHW/

No kidding. Rumble easily. Not even close.

 

[zr1vette]

CM punk deserves a mention.

askren.

Maia.

Kron.

I trained at a boxing gym for about 5 years. I sparred once in a while but has no fights. I would not be the least bit scared to get in the ring with Askren.

 

[OldBoy91]

MW is easily Manhoef. The guy slept Hunt moving backwards.

True. I'm just struggling to remember when he fought in the UFC.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Agreed. Carwin was knocking dudes dead with jabs and short, straight punches.



That you’re braindead.

Lol your such a child. Heaven forbid anyone has a different opinion than you, I see why you won’t respond in full as adult dialogue isn’t your strong suit.

[Poatan Power]

Surprised Paul Daley came up so infrequently in this topic. 43 wins in MMA, 35 by knockout lol

 

[Starman]

Lol your such a child. Heaven forbid anyone has a different opinion than you, I see why you won’t respond in full as adult dialogue isn’t your strong suit.

 

[JustOnce]

Gomi is a great pick at lw that I didn't even think of... his resume doesn't show it with knockouts but when he hit... dudes went down

Hadoukening one fool at a time.

 

[jjoaogbs]

Who do you think is the hardest puncher in each weight class in UFC History.

My list would be
125: Figuereido
135: Garbrandt
145 McGregor
155 Gaethje
170 Hendricks/Woodley
185 Romero
205 Rampage
265 Ngannou

Heavyweight

Francis Ngannou: He's the hardest-hitting man in the UFC.

Light Heavyweight

Jon Jones: He's a complete fighter with both power and speed.

Middleweight

Israel Adesanya: He's a striker who combines power and precision.

Welterweight

Tyron Woodley: He's a powerful striker with a knockout punch.

Lightweight

Justin Gaethje: He's a striker who combines power and aggression.

Featherweight

Max Holloway: He's a striker who combines power and volume.

Bantamweight

TJ Dillashaw: He's a striker who combines power and speed.

i wonder if george foreman was the hardest hitter of all time, in any sport. read an interview the other day where foreman said that sonny liston was the only guy he ever fought in his entire career who made him back up. gave me some new respect for liston, for sure.

Anybody here old enough to know Readers Digest ( I believe, or maybe Time) published an article comparing Liston's physical measurements to a gorilla. Excepting Ali everyone was afraid of Liston way back then.
