Strikes are usually graded based on power and ability to knock someone out. For this thread, I just want to show some appreciation for those strikes that are simply amazing to look at regardless of how strong they are. Take a look at this example of GSP's superman punch: I don't think anyone can do a more graceful and technically sound superman punch than GSP. There's also Edson Barboza's amazing roundhouse kick (which actually knocked out his opponent): Any other examples of picture-perfect strikes?
I quit kickboxing the day I saw this strike. I knew I could never come close to such perfect technique and fell into a deep depression:
Did that actually hit the guy? For it to be a beautiful strike, it actually has to hit something. It looks insane.
wow too many to mention, some that come to mind: machida ko'ing t silva while machida was standing and silva was on the ground, wow rich ko'ing quarry w a straight bj penn beating the sht out of then timing a perfect flying knee on sherk silva one punch counter ko of the sandman rampage one punch counter hook ko on wanderlei rashad ko of chuck (though horrible to see at first) sandman flying ko when the round started on stalkier guy who smothered him for round one, forgetting name kicks by pettis, cerrone and lauzon - out of nowhere w full strength
Came here to post this. I've watched that countless times, it's an incredible feat of violence and amazing to watch.
Loads of sweet strikes already mentioned, but I would like to add this one. It's actually two punches but it's just picture perfect.
