Most intimidating looking fighters by weight class?

Khabib and the guy below doesn't looks intimidating at all.
You would wet your pants if either one of them walked up on you

No I wouldn't lol. They would definitely beat the shit out of me because they are professionals fighters but they aren't intimidating at all. If you don't know them you have no reason to be afraid to engage a fight with them (altough you would fastly regret it lol).
On the others hand, no average dude would dare to start a fight against someone like Ngannou or Poatan even without knowing that they are MMA fighters.

And no need to mentions cauliflowers ears. I know white belts who got these ears after only 2 years in my BJJ classes lol.

Bro, I've openly said that they would definitely beat me in a fight so no, I'm not acting "badass". At the end of the day, finding someone intimidating is subjective. They may afraid you but it's not the case for everyone. That's all.

Khabib? He looks like the guy that bags my groceries. Pretty normal looking guy. Do we take into account their fighting personalities?

I'm not sure if there are that many naturally intimidating guys at that size. Perhaps Tibau for me.
 
This dude was kind of a joke, in some ways, but he was actually super-tough and a fierce competitor, given his limited training in life.

Had Kimbo Slice been formally-trained, since youth, he would have been even more dangerous than he already was ... and that was pretty effin dangerous already, as basically just a street thug.

He basically started training in his 30s ... and could have been a threat to ANYONE, if he had a lifetime of elite training behind him.

.
Hell in the stand up he theoretically could KO almost anyone. Roy Nelson wanted no part in the striking and prompty James Toney'd his ass down.

I remember when him and Houstin Alexander fought and he hit a pretty badass throw on Houston.


This was textbook and it showed how strong he was.

All true.

Big, muscled-up guys are explosive — but 99% of the time they are also short-winded.

Even in running, it's the same thing.

Big, muscled-up guys are always the sprinters, whereas lanky guys, no-muscle guys are the long-distance runners.

Thiago Silva is 6'2" probably 230+ covered in favela tats + scars all over his face, not to mention he does not look like a nice individual... I imagine you'd be suddenly interested in your shoes and put a little hop on your step if you bumped into him while in a mood.
