WW: Stephen Thompson
LW: Alves/Barboza/RDA/Makdessi (although he isn't as powerful as the others)
FW: Pettis
BW: Almeida? Dillashaw? I can't recall BW having a strong kicker
FLW: Horiguchi? same situation a BW

WSW: Probably JJ, although she prefers to punch a lot more
WBW: Shevchenko, although she hasn't proven it against higher leveled fighter

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Reem
Jones, then Rumble
Rockhold
Thompson
Barboza
Pettis, then Holloway
TJ, he has one of the best kicks right now.

Wonderboy would take the cake if we're talking about UFC in a whole. He's been highlight KO'ing people with spinning shit lately.

I think you should spend some time on youtube. There was this guy "anderson silva" he knew how to throw a kick, you should watch and then rethink that comment. Oh, and hes not even dead yet, still on the roster

 

[yookfarb]

Rockhold has the most powerful kicks @ 185, 205, and most of HW.

 

[yookfarb]

hes not even dead yet

he might as well be

Silva finished a couple guys with kicks sure. But Rock finished more. Any stooge can knock someone out with a front kick, ask Travis Browne. Compare 2 highlight reels side by side and you will see the superiority and fluidity of Rockholds kicking game.

im just saying it like it is man. we can cry about kicks all day but we have something truly special with this new left hook larry bisping. he'd be putting people int a coma if he was on TRT like vitor and dan were back in the days.

Everything on point except Magomedov over Overeem and McGregor over Aldo

 

[OUCHi Gari]

Everything on point except Magomedov over Overeem and McGregor over Aldo

i had both in mind i swear! i was thinking more along the lines of versatility and we know overeem loves those knees and ruslan goes high to low to mid very well. Same with connar, upkicks oblique side kicks hook kicks etc very versatile
