The most one-handed fighters

[Spath]

So last weekend we saw Cirkunov fight Jotko (which ended up being… not a good fight) I started thinking ”why is he only punching with his lead hand?”. I certainly won’t be rewatching that one, but he pretty much only threw lead (right) hooks and jabs.

The other one that came to mind was Arlovski schooling Browne in their fight back in 2015.

Arlovski threw like 10 right hands in a row, then a pawing jab, then 10 more right hands. Browne was thrashing all around the cage rocked to hell. Damn was that funny! Why is Arlovski only throwing right hands, though? He used to have some variety in his strikes, but there he goes slinging right hands, even back hands instead of throwing a fucking left hook



So what examples do you have on fighters who are notoriously one-handed? Post some gifs, too! We like those moving pictures.

This gif is also great because you see the difference in pop between both hands

How about Luke Rockhold and his punching? He has some tools in his bag when it comes to stand up but his punch category seems to have only one punch to choose from: Check right hook.

Stanislav Nedkov against Luis Cane. Nedkov spammed the same overhand right the entire fight over and over and actually ended up getting the KO.

That’s a weird fight to remember. Was that the one where the guy getting hit got rocked and started to run away into the cage?

That’s the one!

I thought of Nick Newell about a second after I read the question, but I would not stoop so low as to make a joke about it, he lied.

Philipou showing everyone to catch Luke with the left hook

Jimi Manuwa only seemed to be good with his left hand

Ken Shamrock

I think around UFC 4 or 5, was interviewed before the fight and joked about some nick name he got because he only threw right hand punches.

Then he had his fight. Then he broke his hand... the one he punches with.
