Physically strongest fighters in each Weight Class

[Ghost in the Dark]

I don't follow all weight classes closely but what with all the deadlifting chat lately I thought this would be an interesting dicussion. What do you think?

HW: Mark Hunt, unless Lesnar comes back
LHW: Rumble

WFW: Cyborg but Megan Anderson is a powerful lass
WBW: Nunes
WFLW: Alexis Davis

 

[Ragnus]

welterweight: Mike Perry

Can Mark Hunt or Roy Nelson pass a firefighter physical? Is that only 2D flat floor cardio level?

How is Rumble stronger than DC?

Bisping or Weidman is strongest at 185.

Demian at 170.

155:Al Iaquinta olympic presses all those "sold" signs.

145: Stephens Jeremy.

135: TJ Dillashaw hamstrings.

125: TJ Dillashaw.

Stipe manhandled Hunt

D.C. manhandled Rumble

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Michael Perry

 

[bolly32]

Only one man should be mentioned when considering the GOAT deadlift. Majestic form.

 

[Ghost in the Dark]

Stipe manhandled Hunt

D.C. manhandled Rumble

Stipe is a better grappler than Hunt but I don't believe he is stronger.

I think in a deadlift squat bench contest Hunt would take him out by some margin.

 

[Sapp]

HW Pudz for sure.

LHW maybe latifi. This is a very difficult thing to say based only on the fights.

 

[jk7707]

Strongest is very subjective. You've got two distinct classes. Strongest strikers and strongest grapplers. Their strengths are very different.

Well lifting strength and practical strength is different lol all depends I guess

"Physically strongest" is way too vague and subjective to even begin comparing.

How do you define and measure "strongest"? Imagine them doing strongman style events? Powerlifting? Hardest strikes?

Let's say bench deadlift squat.

Because winning in MMA is all about who is stronger, right? Or did you have some other point that I missed?

 

[TheChance]

If we are going all time Coleman takes it, unless you include fighters from smaller orgs because at HW it would be mariusz pudzianowski (duh)

this. there's KO power, there's grappling strength, there's weightlifting strength...in my case, cock strength...

 

[MadDogMahoney]

Andrade for SW.

 

[tasticles]

I think Mark Hunt is just really powerful with the big frame of his, I'm not sure how much actual strength that ends up being.
