Is Rumble Johnson the hardest hitter in UFC history?

[Emjay]

that's fucking stupid. no one's arguing whether or not Rumble hits hard, the question raised was whether he's the hardest hitter in UFC history. Do you even comprehension bro?

What does Arlovski have to do with whether Rumble is the hardest hitter in UFC history?

 

[jblood7]

1. Carwin
2. Rumble
3. Everyone else

 

[Filthymaggot]

dude you have issues.. lol

Seems like he is projecting his own personal issues.

 

[BigNuggetIce]

Part of me wants to put arlovski over him. He's cracked so many iron chins but he also let schaub & Mir survive. Rumble is def top 5 tho.

Prime arlovski was a fucking monster. One of my favorite fighters.

Carwin would be too slow to throw massive punches like that. AJ is explosive and more athletic.

It's cute that you think he hits harder than a 300 pound man feared for his ko power.

This thread again... Didn't we just have this exact thread like a week ago?

 

[BBMN]

Carwin and maybe Hunt are higher up.

In terms of LHW.... probably.

 

[Bacco]

At LHW sure, maybe with prime Page and Randleman as contenders

All class?
No, in his only HW fight he did'nt KTFOed Arlovski

Carwin, JDS, Hunt and probably some other had different power imho

AJ is very explosive (not only in the sherdog way) in his striking, but imho does'nt put the same weight on his punches

 

[STARSCREAM]

Hes up there. Hard to say for sure though

 

[Davemeddlehed]

That was a depleted Johnson who had a horrible weight cut, and not to mention the ridiculous stand up by mirgliotta... He would destroy vitor now

From a thread about a year ago:

With 1:48 left in the round, Rogan goes: "wow really quick stand-ups by Miragliotta"

Stand-up #1: 34 seconds of no action.

Stand-up #2: 41 seconds of no action

Great job by the Mirg

Doing nothing other than sitting in Vitor's guard and breathing like Sandra Bullock in Gravity for long periods of time deserve to be stood up.

Tank Abbott

No. Plenty of guys hit harder.

Carwin
Hunt
Miocic
Lesnar
Nelson
Dos Santos
Reem
Etc.

But out of the lhw's I would say yes

Lesnar? Has that been verified. I never thought Lesnar was considered a hard hitter. I'm pretty sure Rumble could punch harder at HW than Brock Lesnar. But if I'm wrong, someone please disabuse me.

 

[Username Bob]

He isnt as fast cuz he is 50 pounds heavier!! lol, anthony would move like he does 50 pounds heavier.. YOU must not understand athletics in general.

I said he isnt that much more athletic than the previous #2 HEAVYWEIGHT in the world. And not more than many many other mma fighters, even in his division. So shut up with the bullshit...

Carwin was a two-time NCAA Division II Wrestling National Runner-Up as a Heavyweight, and the NCAA II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. He was also a two-time All-American linebacker at Western State and was chosen to participate in the Senior Bowl. He was also considered a late round NFL prospect.

But yeah, Anthony Johnson is more athletic...

 

[Garnett Silk]

He may be hardest hitting LHW...just by the nature of Physics a HW is going to hit harder than Rumble. Tank Abbott used to cause seizures with his punching power.....

 

[Kalmyk Fighter]

Hunt
JDS
Vitor
Roy
Carwin


I think all hit harder.

Rumble dicktucked from the standup vs Vitor and spammed takedowns.

Vitor's not a 1-hit KO kind of guy though (unless it's with a kick).

He usually stuns his opponent and follows up with a 12 punch combo

 

[Filthymaggot]

Lesnar? Has that been verified. I never thought Lesnar was considered a hard hitter. I'm pretty sure Rumble could punch harder at HW than Brock Lesnar. But if I'm wrong, someone please disabuse me.

I think Lesnar actually does hit VERY hard. His technique sucked though and he was never comfortable exchanging

 

[Koro_11]

Vitor's not a 1-hit KO kind of guy though (unless it's with a kick).

He usually stuns his opponent and follows up with a 12 punch combo

He can do both, see the Matt Lindland or Terry Martin fights.

Also, Rumble was scared to stand with Vitor and did nothing but spam takedowns in their fight... you cant be considered the scariest striker, if there's a striker you're not willing to stand with.
