This isn't a power contest but instead who is the biggest/stockiest of each divison of all time. Someone could be more powerful but not look it.
HW. Brock Lesnar
I'd say Uberreem is second place. Kevin Randleman had a good argument here, as did Ngannou. But I don't think you can top Brock Lesnar. The guy is just absolutely huge and looks like what people think the baddest man in the planet would look like.
LHW. Anthony Johnson
Falls another category of "Baddest Man", Johnson carried with him one of the most powerful punches in the UFC, and was a pretty huge dude. I'd give second place to Roided up Jones due to his Length+Size.
MW: Yoel Romero
This is not the guy you want looking back at you when you are about to enter the cage. At 40 years old Yoel surpasses all expectations of what is possible for an MMA fighter. Costa/Lombard are a close second.
WW: Tyron Woodley
:
Current WW champion Tyron Woodley has a freakish build, and he uses his power to intimidate the majority of his opponents. Woodley is arguably one of the natural hardest hitters in the WW division, I'd put Prime GSP Up here too.
LW: Gleison Tibau
Tibau is a WW, in a LW's body. His huge size presented a serious problem against current LW champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. It's unfortunate his career has mostly been a mix of journyman accomplishments.
FW: Chad Mendes
Although Conor is probably the bigger fighter by height, Conor has a pretty cut build. Mendes in his prime looks like a class above.
BW: Marlon Moraes
Surging Contender Marlon Moraes has a pretty good build, and the power to go with it after his round 1 knockout of top contender Jimmie Rivera.
Flyweight: Jon Dodson
Although no longer a Flyweight, Dodson was probably the biggest flyweight out there for a while.
