Wonderboy is the best striker in UFC history

[Krixes]

One thing for sure is he's still got it. He's not showing any regression.

 

[Bearknuckle]

Hes got a difficult style to figure out but Neal walking forward doing fuck all would make anyone look like the goat striker.

Its not neal’s fault, wonderboy had the better defense and offense. Sure neal couldve shot for the takedown, but its easier said than done, shooting in exposes you to knees and punches and kicks.

 

[PatrickBatemanVHS]

Motivated Conor KO’s him stiff

 

[jrleclerc88]

top 10 but no

got dropped by Matt Brown
got dropped by Till
got dropped by Woodley twice
got KTFO by Pettis

none of those are examples of his striking?

 

[TheSpider]

Silva is the GOAT MMA striker and it’s not close.

 

[dominion]

Pettis slept him pretty bad.

Even Pettis would admit that was a lucky punch after getting tooled the whole time. He was the epitome of a puncher's chance.

 

[Lychrel]

Top 5 is like

• Silva
• Izzy
• Cro Cop
• WB
• McGregor? (Don't kill me)

 

[updowniri]

izzy, silva, conor

 

[Bos Docken]

His movement is excellent and his arsenal of kicks is impressive... But he has not finished anyone since 2016.

Call me crazy, "best striker in UFC history" should have some actual KOs or TKOs on his record.

 

[CrocopHKtotheballs]

Pettis slept him pretty bad.

uses cage to leverage his punch after being systematically destroyed for 13 minutes for a surprise KO win

Do you honestly believe that?

 

[ImNotMirsadBektic]

Like some other guy said, dropped by Brown, Till and Woodley and KOed by Pettis. Any other answer than Spider or Conor is delusional fanboy'ism imo.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

 

[MMAALLDAYBAYBAY]

Pettis slept him pretty bad.

I like Showtime, but that was the definition of a fluke KO. Wonderboy was absolutely dominating that fight and would likely beat Showtime 99/100 times. Exaggerating a bit obviously, but Wonderboy is clearly the better striker and overall fighter.

 

[VitorReem]

Not even close but he’s definitely the most boring.

 

[MMAALLDAYBAYBAY]

Top 5 is like

• Silva
• Izzy
• Cro Cop
• WB
• McGregor? (Don't kill me)

I’d say that’s a pretty solid overall list.

 

[beroisimo**]

not the best. but hes up there

Who is then?

 

[ImNotMirsadBektic]

none of those are examples of his striking?

When the TS says best striker u have to assume both offensively and defensively. Otherwise he should've said offensive striker.

 

[Jackonfire]

 

[VAfan]

he's a real technician, a lot of fun to watch. definitely top ten, don't know about #1 though.

His movement is excellent and his arsenal of kicks is impressive... But he has not finished anyone since 2016.

Call me crazy, "best striker in UFC history" should have some actual KOs or TKOs on his record.

You mean like when he won via TKO or KO his first 5/8 fights in the ufc? Or when he absolutely put on a striking masterclass against two upcoming beasts in Neal and Luque in his last 2 fights?
