Your jig is up... Why are you acting like a female on Sherdog???

What you mean?

Clementine not allowed to act female?

Randleman is and was one of my favorite fighters growing up. He was an absolute specimen. I would also say Mark Kerr geared up was incredibly fast twitched.

Randleman was just so explosive.

It's clearly a dude posing as a female online.

Some retired fighters who were very explosive:

Fedor (for a HW)
Randleman
GSP
Penn
Aldo

 

[chinarice]

i don't know how i spaced on that 4.7 at 290 lbs is fucking crazy

Lesnar is a true A level athlete unlike these bozo NFL players that sherdoggers have been bringing up over the past decade.

Hell, Lesnar almost made it to the NFL while he never even played college football. He was athletic enough to be, just didn't have the football knowledge

 

[VAfan]

put melvin guillard on the list. goldie used to love talking about how 'explosive' he was.

 

[Mind Mine]

Pereira by a country mile

 

[AmonTobin]

Paul “Semtex” Daley. 35 KO’s in MMA. Maybe overrated. Probably a dick. His nickname is explosive though.

Chandler is pretty damn explosive. Wrestlers in general seem to be incredibly explosive athletes. Which isn’t too much of a surprise given their sport.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Aldo, Marlon Moraes, Sage Northcutt, Adlan Amagov; Chad Mendes, Edson Barboza, GSP and a bunch of others.

Northcutt doesn't get mentioned enough but he could dunk a basketball, run a sub 5 minute mile and run a 4.5 40 yard dash. He can bench well over 400lbs and squat & deadlift around 600lbs from what Ive seen. Dudes a Lightweight/Welterweight too. I don't know what his vertical is but he can jump up and kick 8ft ceilings and dunk at only 6ft so it's probably significant.

If I can choose, I gotta go with Randleman.

KID, Lombard and Fiziev are some unmentioned ones that come to mind. Benson has some impressive explosive feats in fights, even though that wasn't usually his style.

Masvidal impressed me with how his kicks could stay so explosive through a whole fight (like in the 1st Usman fight).

Kid and Lombard are good mentions. Fiziev isn't an awful one either, I thought about mentioning Mustafaev. Honestly there's just loads. Losene Keita might currently take the cake for me even though he isn't in the UFC yet, absolutely a monster. A little soon to tell but Rinya Nakamura seems explosive too.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

The right answer is Kevin Randleman

 

[whocares]

Nate diaz
Forrest Griffin
Sean Strickland
Irene Aldana
Parker Porker

 

[Logan M]

Cro Cop is probably the most underrated athlete in all of MMA. He hardly ever gets mentioned in discussions like this and dude was a fucking FREAK.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

MMA attracts a lot of great athletes but not necessarily explosive ones. The ones with explosive athleticism usually fight in the lower weight classes since bigger ones for obvious reasons are playing stick and ball sports professionally. Ciryl Gane is a great example of someone who is a superb athlete but not an explosive one.

Michael Chandler
Kleydson Rodrigues
Johnny Walker

I am definitely missing some but those were the first three that came to mind.

 

[Rationality]

Lesnar.
