Not guys like Pudzianowski, Ngannou, Brock etc, we all know they're very strong.
But people who are not necessarily associated with being extraordinarily strong.
From what i've heard:
Cro Cop - apparently very strong, several fighters have talked about this through first hand experience.
Rumble - aside from his monster power, he was told when he was younger that he was very strong, especially extreme grip strength.
Tim Elliot - apparently deceptively strong.
Dan Henderson - according to Rogan "hard as wood", posessing that mystical "old man strength", and i suppose his power has something to do with that somehow, because he's not very explosive. Jon Jones also mentioned that he was surprisingly strong after grappling with him.
Alexey Oleynik - Heard that he has extreme grip strength and all that general crackle pop submission strength.
Ilir Latifi - obviously a very strong guy but according to DC one of the strongest he has ever felt.
Rampage - obviously not a weak guy but dang he could slam people left and right with little effort.
(squeezing in an honorable mention here, pardon the pun)
Demian Maia - surprising squeeze strength, but of course all the skill to go with it.
( and just a little mention)
Arnold Allen - from a family competing in strongman but i haven't heard anything about some extraordinary strength.
(Please do feel free to add the sources of these statements as i don't remember them all.)
Honorable mentions summary:
Demian Maia
Cowboy Oliviera
Ben Askren
