Prime Overeem bullies the beast Brock Lesnar.
 
Close to it Ubereem was 6"4, (maybe 6"3 & 3/4), 263lbs to 273lbs, with a small skull but 80 inch reach)

Ngannou is close to it (big hands, huge skull, assumingly good chin, 83.5 inch reach, wide shoulders, long thick legs, explosive, 275lbs, he could be taller though he is only 6"4)

Someone built similar in physique but who has a larger skull (can better absorb blows) and has a strong chin and is 6"6 with 86 inch reach would be a better option


Basically JJ Watt (6"5 &1/2, 290lbs 86 inch reach, or Rob Gronkowski (6"6 & 1/2, 270lbs, 86 inch each) large skulls, fast, explosive are ideal.

You would want to be taller than the average HW who is 6"2 to 6"4 so being 6"6 would do that. You also would want a longer reach than the HW average of (78 inches to 81 inches)

Don't know if this counts as a showing of physicality, but Whittaker fighting Romero for 24 minutes with a smashed fist, getting hit and rocked badly more than once and still being able to push through...a lot of it is mental toughness, but you gotta be a beast for your body not to give up. If we're talking superhero physique, Overeem is probably number one, but I doubt his magnificent body would survive something similar.

Nonsensical fetish for physical stats.
 
Kind of yeah. Sad that we never got to see Ubereem fight the best of the best. How did Strikeforce fail to make that Fedor fight happen?

Strikeforce didn't fail. Fedor's courage did.

Ducked him multiple times.
