Who are the scariest, most frightening fighters of each weight class of all time?

[Davidjacksonjones]

Not whose the greatest, but the most scariest, feared, frightening, intimidating etc. For each weight class, of all time, and why?

Here are some of my picks

HW - Francis Ngannou. No doubt the most scary man in UFC history. I think he broke the record the hardest punch ever. Decapitated legends of the sport in record breaking time (although they were aging).

LHW - Jon Jones and Anthony Rumble Johnson. The way Jones destroyed all the LHW legends/former champions back to back was crazy. A lot of people believe he is a psychopath, which makes him scarier. Dropped Machida's lifeless body, looked like he was trying to kill DC etc.
Rumble Johnson, although not as skilled, was quite scary with frightening power. 17 knockouts out of 23 wins.

Yoel Romero - Looks quite scary himself, and has 13 knockouts out of 15 wins. Also a highly decorated Olympic wrestler (although he never used it much in the UFC)

Welterweight - I don't know
LW - maybe Khabib. Undefeated. Face of a stone cold killer. Exceptional wrestler who is deadly on the ground

Featherweight - Not sure. Maybe Aldo during his rise to the top. Devastating kicks and knees and aura of invincibility at the time

Bantamweight - No idea, i have not followed the division much

Flyweight - same as above

Womens MMA - Definitely Cyborg. Looks pretty scary and manly.. 20 knockouts in 26 fights

Francis is scary, but he's no Giant Silva.

None of the fighters you listed are actually scary. I would gladly hang out with any of them IRL. If I see Viacheslav Datsik, Alexander Emelianenko or Travis Fulton on the other hand, I'm getting the fuck out of there.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Ubereem, Mirko, Francis
Wand, Rumble, Jiri
Yoel
Robbie
Tony
WEC Aldo
Lineker
Figueiredo

But would you step into the Octagon with them?
Agreed they probably aren't scary to hang out with, but this is about scary in terms of people wanting to fight them

I'd step in the cage against Ngannou over Datsik any given day. If I immediately tap like chicken, Ngannou would shrug his shoulders and let the ref wave the fight off. Datsik would probably bite my dick off for not putting up a fight.

Gotta throw Rousimar Palhares in there. Yes he's been beaten, but for any fighter going in there knowing that there's a chance you're going to suffer such a grievous injury that your career will never be the same again can be quite terrifying. There's a difference between losing, and being seriously injured, and he caused a lot of injuries.

Scary in that "Of Mice and Men" sort of way.

Glad you included prime Jon Jones. I used to worry for his opponents.

Jon's helbows used to be good but he's too pillowfisted and wins too many decisions to be scary.

I came to post these names too, even though the lighter weight classes don't really have that much intimidating factor mainly because even though the average person would get their shit pushed in, the average person is just bigger than 5'5 125-160lbs, haha!


Also at 185, even though he doesn't have as many fights, I feel Alex Pieria has a pretty good intimidating factor for 185!

Probably more scared for their eyeballs, and knees being hyper extended, hahaha!

Lighting Lee Murray is the goat most frightening. Has some intelligence to go with scary streak. Pulling off that robbery takes stupidity as well as intelligence.

His just plain scary. Not a guy to run into a dark alley (or in Tito's case with dress shoes on in public).

War Machine is pretty scary too.

PRIME Cro Cop, PRIME wanderlei silva instilled fear into the mortals they demolished. and then they got old
