List of surprisingly physically strong fighters

[Straightcross]

Yoel Romero

Good mention! I've heard that he's stronger than you'd think.

Strong heart... Yes the reason he's so strong is cuz he's the best wrestler in the 145 division! War damage!

Brock Lesnar.

He looks strong as fuck.

But he's even stronger than he looks.

fedor, ronaldo "jacaré" sousa, hunt, GSP, vovchanchyn

Crocop was super jacked and failed the very first and only random PEDS test he ever took. He had a cartoonishly bad career spiral in the states, almost immediately after winning the Grand Prix. He's back to looking super jacked and winning fights overseas.

How is it confusing or surprising that a guy on PEDS with huge muscles is physically strong?

FFS Latifi? He's a power lifter built like a can of soup.

I was surprised to see Edgar lift and takedown Stephens multiples times in their fight I thought Stephens would out muscle him for sure

Absolute failure of a thread.

It's literally just 'list strong fighters'

TS has to bear responsibility for this for listing guys like rampage and rumble. Who the fuck is surprised to learn that they're strong?

It's the long range of motion lanklets have on weight lifting exercises.

Like James Vick or Tony Ferguson.

Ts how the hell is Rumble and Cro Cop surprising to you?? Look at them

 

[Melas Chasma]

So many saying Jones and no-one saying Gus tells that Gus is the obvious right answer in this thread.

Tito

There is nothing surprising about Cro Cop being strong. Look at the size of his legs. He is/was an absolute monster. 6'2 235

Meh, the average sherdogger

I remember a story Emmanuel Newton told about Rampage in the gym i forget the facts but went along the lines of he was sparring and someone took a cheapshot or something along those lines and rampage got pissed and pretty much threw the guy out the cage, Newton said Rampage coasts in training but at any moment he could use insane strength

Brazillian Cowboy was quoted to be much stronger than Tibau in training

DC throwing HWs is impressive but him picking a dead weight Rockhold off the ground to standing was insane

Mark Coleman said Big Nog had the strongest grip strength of any fighter or wrestler he ever encountered.
You generally don't think of Big Nog as strong.

Alexey Oleynik - Heard that he has extreme grip strength and all that general crackle pop submission strength.

Extreme strength is the only explanation for some of the stuff he does. NoGi ezekiel chokes while being mounted by a pro MMA fighter of the same weight? Seriously, it should only work on much lighter beginners.
