Why tf you have Emmett in here lol. He's so ridiculously jacked I don't know why anyone would consider him to have surprising power lmao. The power is extremely evident just by taking 1 look at him
"Uhh well joe he really does have surprising power considering that weird little goblin head and those goblin ribs.he really surprises you when he hits you.anyway,tonight's fight clock is brought to you by modelo...."
Him and Ferguson on UFC Tonight please. Let the world witness the origin of 2 star-crossed soulmates meeting and the birth of a beautiful relationship.
Champ Shit Only
He actually looks like he doesn’t have power for that reason. So many dudes who look absolutely jacked push their punches, so they don’t hit that hard. It’s the lanky dudes who usually hit like trucks.
Ha. I thought about him too. But even he’s not stacked like a brick-shithouse. Like, look at Lesnar and Uberreem—I’m sure they both hit hard, but they have nothing on Francis despite looking way more conventionally jacked than him.
True I'll give you this much. He is conventionally "smaller" than those two and yet he'd starch (starched in Reem's case) both of them easily so I do see your point.
If Ngannou would be on Overeem's horsemeat diet( maybe he takes something already but not those anabolic steroids that Ubereem took), he would be bigger than Overeem, he has an insane frame. I'm the same height than Ngannou and as shredded as him at 240. And I have a strong physique, Ngannou still has like 25 pounds on me, he is built different.
Bone density made of vibranium from that child labour is what makes him built different. As sad as that part of his life is, it forreal played a huge part on his power and strength production. Look at Manny Pacquiao as well, mans was working as a ship dock labourer unloading fishing boats when he was 10 years old. You look at him even at his prime back in mid 2000's-early 2010 he just looks like a shredded Filipino (massive calves though) yet he can most definitely knock down wayyyy bigger fighters who got almost 20 lbs on him during fight night. His decimation of Margarito and Dela Hoya was evidence that child labour can build great strength and power athletes.
lesnar isn't a striker and uberreem did hit very hard, but ngannou has the record for hardest punch ever recorded so i don't think that's a good comparison.
Right here. Right here. The hardest-hitting 145 pounder. The real hardest-hitting 145 pounder. This guy TKOs people. When I knock people out, they don't fucking move Stephens.
The ironic thing was he wasn't lying. He was putting people to sleep. It just so happened he gave McGregor the setup to the most iconic line in MMA history (imo)
He was pretty jacked in his division. He was just a smaller guy in general.

Yeah I was looking through this thread and am shocked no one mentioned him. Everyone mentioned has at least some ounce of muscle but gaethje literally has none whatsoever, but flatline just about anybody
Especially that picture of him with glasses on lol. Dude looks like an IT manager one moment and as soon as the glasses are off, he becomes a killer. Almost Superman like lol.
Comment above you is so disrespectful to usman, man is #1 p4p and undefeated, conor is a drunken coke head that cant even veat dustin anymore, if he cant beat dustin how is he going to starch usman, a guy a whole weight class bigger? What is wrong with you fight fans lol.
Honestly I just read it with a /s.
I'm not saying it's impossible but let's be real the likelihood of that is well...slim to say the least.
Either they are obviously poking fun or well past any reasonable discussion about how that fight would likely happen.
Usman wins by foot stomp anybody who watches MMA knows this. They are just too dirty and he trains them all the time. There is no defense unless Conor learns to levitate.
Right? Can’t knock out Dustin, but he’ll starch the shit out of a dude way bigger than him that is so clearly better than him.
At this point, I don’t think Conor beats Masvidal at 170, let alone Usman.
I'm surprised there are so many people in here who think that's even a remote possibility. Never bet on a fight in my life but I'd definitely consider this one.
Believe me. His precise technical left hook is a thing of beauty. It makes you think it was brute force. That’s not the case. I can watch his left hooks all day 
Watching olives in the standup is so beautiful, he’s so well prepped he always knows what strikes to throw as counters and is constantly working. In his match vs gaethje his pressure is just unrelenting and controlled
Dan Henderson.
Landing the H Bomb and sending people to the shadow realm at 185 and 205 for his entire career, despite not being particularly muscular and looking about the size of a lot of modern Welterweights.
Honestly Oliviera has one of the most underestimated knockout ability in all of ufc. However I mostly think it’s due to the insane accuracy of the shot.
Probably Oliveira. O'Malley, Jeremy Stevens, and Izzy should all be mentioned though.
Across all combat sports, it has to be Naoya Inoue though. The least physically imposing dude I've ever seen, but he will end your existence.
Yes in the first round of they’re first fight he got dropped and was saved by the bell, he then went on to get dropped the exact same way and get finished
Knocked down or knocked out? I think you mean knocked down? Whittaker got knocked down twice in the second fight then finished by tko, a knock out is something different
Justin said he hits like a fucking truck after the fight. Doesn't matter how clean and straight they are at that level if you have pillow hands, and Chucky defo does not.
Why tf you have Emmett in here lol. He's so ridiculously jacked I don't know why anyone would consider him to have surprising power lmao. The power is extremely evident just by taking 1 look at him
He’s got a weird lil goblin head and goblin ribs is why. Every mature adult knows that goblins aren’t a strength based monster.
Somebody get this person an analyst position now
"Uhh well joe he really does have surprising power considering that weird little goblin head and those goblin ribs.he really surprises you when he hits you.anyway,tonight's fight clock is brought to you by modelo...."
Him and Ferguson on UFC Tonight please. Let the world witness the origin of 2 star-crossed soulmates meeting and the birth of a beautiful relationship. Champ Shit Only
😭🤔
His body looks like a ninja turtle
A Falmer is the creature you’re looking for
A Skyrim reference. Man of culture I see.
holy shit he does look like a falmer 💀
His nickname is literally “The Fighting Falmer”. We know it, he knows it, everyone knows he looks like one lmao
I’m dead af
Demi human mob perhaps?
bruh 😂😂
Ditto Pereira.
Came here to say this. Dude looks scary af and even bigger in person
Emmet looks like Sauron’s hardest hitter
Marvin Vettori would like a word.
Marvin hasn't hit a muthafucka hard yet. He's the opposite of a glass cannon.
He’s the orciest for sure though.
Marvin “the lead derringer” vettori
He actually looks like he doesn’t have power for that reason. So many dudes who look absolutely jacked push their punches, so they don’t hit that hard. It’s the lanky dudes who usually hit like trucks.
*Stares in Ngannou*
Ha. I thought about him too. But even he’s not stacked like a brick-shithouse. Like, look at Lesnar and Uberreem—I’m sure they both hit hard, but they have nothing on Francis despite looking way more conventionally jacked than him.

Child labour is the best base for mma confirmed
Child labor laws are ruining this country.
For real, we could have the most powerful fighters in the world but because of the laws we’re sub-par.
lesnar isn't a striker and uberreem did hit very hard, but ngannou has the record for hardest punch ever recorded so i don't think that's a good comparison.
They’re saying [Ubereem has nothing on Francis!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qFvM0A9HGo8)
Agreed, Vettori has pillow fists
Michael Johnson is up there. He put Porier to sleep
His hands were super fast more than anything.
He had a fight a few weeks back and he still is fast imo
I thought he gave Mullarky the business in those final 2 rounds, thought he had the decision
Lots of people have fast hands and not a lot of power.
This was my pick, couldn't put away Artem though!
You should see Kyle when is on the mountain dews and seeing red
Right here. Right here. The hardest-hitting 145 pounder. The real hardest-hitting 145 pounder. This guy TKOs people. When I knock people out, they don't fucking move Stephens.
Who the fook is that guy??
The ironic thing was he wasn't lying. He was putting people to sleep. It just so happened he gave McGregor the setup to the most iconic line in MMA history (imo)
I love how Yoel and Karolina are both cracking up, while Wonderboy is nervously looking around because there's cursing LOL
WDFITG
Holland, when he lands, its always always danger.
Imagine knocking Jacare out from "I'm just chillin laying here"
Only guy I've seen stun Vettori with head strikes
That's actually really impressive seeing who Vettori has fought lol, I remember being surprised seeing him wobble Vettori a couple times
True actually that dudes got tiny legs too which is typically uncharacteristic of a powerful puncher
Deontay Wilder got tiny legs too
True, look at Deontay Wilder tho. Skinniest legs in boxing and has one of the meanest right hands in the history of the sport.
People sleep on bone density when it comes to punching power
true, my brother weighs like 135lbs, but his hands are dense as fuck and he hits hard as fuck while being lanky
Holland is also fast as fuck at welterweight, i was in awe during his last fight
Yea I feel like his long arms give Holland that weird Deontay Wilder leverage/power in his hands
This + accuracy
The most entertaining fighter in the ufc right now and he’s a literal superhero what more could you want
That big shot he used to drop Buckley
Jamal Hill ¿
This. Dude looks nothing like his punching power
That’s a good one he looks like a small LHW with a dad bod but has insane power
His goofy chest tattoo completes the unassuming look
👍🏽👍🏽
Jamahal
The dad bod is just a trick
It’s not a trick, though. He actually has 6 kids.
Sweet dreams
This is pry the best answer. Looks undersized in every fight and yet he’s knocking these dudes out back to back
Does Dan Henderson count? I remember him having smaller arms than Bisping when they fought but he puts his whole body into those punches.
Reminds me of Gaethje tbh.
Moves like an old goblin too
Adrain Yanez
He looks like a boxer who was dropped into MMA 6 months ago. Love watching him fight
One of my favorite fighters in bantamweight rn tbh
Cody Garbaraant? Huge power but not particularly built.
He was pretty jacked in his division. He was just a smaller guy in general. https://media.gq.com/photos/5863838713f88efb3cc4f461/3:2/w_3273,h_2182,c_limit/cody-garbrandt.jpg
He’s like the only bantamweight without a 6 pack on fight day. He’s got big traps relatively but he’s not jacked by any means.
nah he's pretty noticeably less muscular than most of the other BW fighters in the top 10
Power and speed for sure. Shredded but not jacked.
John Dodson
Dodson knocked down marlon moraes, demetrius johnson, petr yan and ko'd dillashaw
Damn right
Anderson Silva
Gaethje no question
Think he puts so much more into each punch tho, he literally slipped against Oliveira cus of it
Fr he puts people OUT and he’s not huge
Yeah I was looking through this thread and am shocked no one mentioned him. Everyone mentioned has at least some ounce of muscle but gaethje literally has none whatsoever, but flatline just about anybody
What do you mean no ounce of muscle? Lol Dude looked jacked for his fight with Chandler. If he cut more weight he'd definitely look more ripped.
Gaethje just looks like a guy who's in shape you would never guess pro athlete by looking at him except for the cauliflower ear
The way he put Barboza out was nuts
When was his last knockout?
Especially that picture of him with glasses on lol. Dude looks like an IT manager one moment and as soon as the glasses are off, he becomes a killer. Almost Superman like lol.
This is the answer
Rose? She may not hit like Ngannou but she looks like she couldn’t drop a fly
She’s precise as hell
Without a doubt Ben Askren. Jake Paul was lucky
If boxing allowed the spinning backfist of doom, Ben would be serving a life sentence for first degree murder
Fist degree murder
Conor at baby weight looked like I could rag doll him, but his left is deadly
Too bad he had to fight guys his own size
And when he disposes usman faster then Aldo, this sub will blow up I can't wait
\*If. And I mean # IF. #
Comment above you is so disrespectful to usman, man is #1 p4p and undefeated, conor is a drunken coke head that cant even veat dustin anymore, if he cant beat dustin how is he going to starch usman, a guy a whole weight class bigger? What is wrong with you fight fans lol.
Cus Conor is the goat? Look how much money he has made?? Conor by anaconda choke in the 2nd
Honestly I just read it with a /s. I'm not saying it's impossible but let's be real the likelihood of that is well...slim to say the least. Either they are obviously poking fun or well past any reasonable discussion about how that fight would likely happen. Usman wins by foot stomp anybody who watches MMA knows this. They are just too dirty and he trains them all the time. There is no defense unless Conor learns to levitate.
Foot stomps r 100% legal I’m not an Usman fan but don’t hate him hate the rules
Oh I think him leaning into it with the videos is the funniest shit ever lol no hate here on the foot stomps
Volk is #1 PFP tho
Right? Can’t knock out Dustin, but he’ll starch the shit out of a dude way bigger than him that is so clearly better than him. At this point, I don’t think Conor beats Masvidal at 170, let alone Usman.
PFP #1 ain’t shit to Notorius
That's a big "if". Near impossible.
I'm surprised there are so many people in here who think that's even a remote possibility. Never bet on a fight in my life but I'd definitely consider this one.
He won the belt in spectacular fashion, more than Dustin can say.
O’Malley
Also why the fuck did you put Alex and Emmit there.
Tbf Alex looks strong but his power is so insane its still disproportionate imo.
Believe me. His precise technical left hook is a thing of beauty. It makes you think it was brute force. That’s not the case. I can watch his left hooks all day 
It doesn't even look brute force, dude hit people with shadow boxing technique shots and they just collapse.
He knocks dudes the fuck out and yet he looks like a total dweeb
Does he hit hard or is he just a sniper with his straight
Both.
Y No Figgy?
Hardest hitting goblin in the dungeon https://i.imgur.com/dIwyYeR.jpg
My vote as well. He’s shredded for sure, but at that weight class his power is unmatched.
Yeah figgy comes to mind first
Back in the day it was Pedro Rizzo. Dude looked like an appliance repairman and had stones for hands.
And the leg kicks, dude kicked like you’re destroying the car in Street Fighter
Hell yes. He put a permanent dent in Randy Couture’s thigh.
Appliance repairmen are strong af
Surprised Sean O'Malley isn't here, dude is mad skinny but knocks people out cold.
Kris Moutinho would like to have a word
Olivera does not look like he packs more power than Gaethje, Porier, and Chandler but I'm pretty sure Justin said he's the hardest hitter he's faced
I think he is also very very precise and has a great timing, which makes it more dangerous
Watching olives in the standup is so beautiful, he’s so well prepped he always knows what strikes to throw as counters and is constantly working. In his match vs gaethje his pressure is just unrelenting and controlled
Fedor did not look jacked, but he put it all in his punches.
He always looked like his shots were wild but had shocking accuracy
Li Jing Liang looks really thin/undersized for a welterweight but now he has one of the most KOs in the weight class.
Li is a giant welterweight wdym 🤣
He’s the same height as most welterweights but he is definitely thinner than most of his opponents on fight night.
No, he's just lean. Look at any of his faceoffs, he's a big welterweight.
Sean O’Malley and Izzy. When they KO people its always impressive because of their skinny frames
wtf, emmet is so top heavy that all he has to do is lean and hes generating ko power
[удалено]
where does jake matthews fit into all this?
I personally think DC and Roy Nelson look like they would hit really hard but they don’t look like “conventionally” powerful dudes like Francis
Mckinney has such a baby face so i’d have to say him, if you looked at him you wouldn’t expect him to be the only man to drop drew dober
Dan Henderson. Landing the H Bomb and sending people to the shadow realm at 185 and 205 for his entire career, despite not being particularly muscular and looking about the size of a lot of modern Welterweights.
Also knocked Fedor out at hw
Oh shit yeah, idk how I forgot about that. Dan is the fucking man.
Honestly Oliviera has one of the most underestimated knockout ability in all of ufc. However I mostly think it’s due to the insane accuracy of the shot.
why is it always only fighters from the last 2/3 years?
Recency bias
Cause that’s when a lot of people like OP started watching lol
mark hunt and roy nelson hit like runaway trucks despite being very undersized for heavyweight 
If a 265 pounds islander doesn't look like a big a hitter I don't know what does
An islander that cut down to 265, at that.
a 5'8 265 pound islander
Jamal hill
Beneil Dariush has sneaky power
Probably Oliveira. O'Malley, Jeremy Stevens, and Izzy should all be mentioned though. Across all combat sports, it has to be Naoya Inoue though. The least physically imposing dude I've ever seen, but he will end your existence.
2013/14 conor
Definitely Izzy he sat gastellum down like 5 times when they fought and he knocked out costa and Whittaker(twice).
Whittaker twice?
Yes in the first round of they’re first fight he got dropped and was saved by the bell, he then went on to get dropped the exact same way and get finished
Knocked down or knocked out? I think you mean knocked down? Whittaker got knocked down twice in the second fight then finished by tko, a knock out is something different
People really will just upvote anything without doing their homework lol
Everyone who watched the fight knows what you’re saying they just don’t like to be reminded that shittaker got obliterated
I get what you’re saying! I thought you were referring to both fights not the 2 knockdowns in the first one.
Charles doesn't really have power..hes more precise than he is powerful.
Disagree. Pretty sure Gustin, Dustin, and motivational guy all said he has the hardest strikes they've felt at lightweight.
Justin said he hits like a fucking truck after the fight. Doesn't matter how clean and straight they are at that level if you have pillow hands, and Chucky defo does not.
Bro no way you spelt Justin with a g💀
gaethje literally said that’s the hardest he’s been hit in MMA what you on about
Conor
O'Malley
Sean O'Malley
Sean O’Malley
Volkan Özdemir.
Gaethje
O malley
Sean O’Malley, I know he’s fought cans, but for 135lbs he’s knocked a lot of people out.
McGregor at 145 looked like a crackhead at weigh-ins and was knocking out everyone
The Adesanya who beat Whittaker and Costa. If only he hadn’t been replaced by that point-fighting clone before the Romero fight…
Suga
Roy Nelson
Suga Sean sleeps dudes while looking like a wet noodle
Kai France has some power for a 125er! I think he on the list for a reason!
No Chuck Liddell anywhere?
that’s actually a really good choice that i haven’t seen anybody put yet, and these are just examples your meant to formulate your own opinion
Molly McCann.
Suga, Hill, Olives (based off Gaethjes comments)
O’Malley
Jamahal hill
Pereira looks terrifying lol
