No you can't. Refer here:

You're intentionally misreading my point. Obviously you need to throw a hard punch—the difference is you don't need to be a power puncher to KO someone with a liver shot like you would to knock them unconscious. If Yan Xiaonan threw a perfect shovel hook straight to the liver of Francis Ngannou...

You don't need power to drop someone with a liver shot. You need really good timing and accuracy. And yet Max and Volk, not known for power at all, both have clean KOs. Volk starched current UFC lightweight Jamie Mullarkey. My point is that it's odd that Jose has none. Right. With Aldo being...

Brian Kelleher, Umar Nurmagomedov, Max Holloway, Francisco Rivera, Nate Landwehr, Ricky Simon, John Moraga, Alexandre Pantoja, John Dodson, Manel Kape, Aiemann Zahabi, Raul Rosas Jr, all have at least one clean knockout with their hands. Of course there are many more. This is not even mentioning...

Explain to me how this isn't unequivocally embarrassing bitch behavior https://www.foxnews.com/video/6343633670112

Is that why he also lost to Poirier and Oliveira, because they also used to fight at 145?

Chael Sonnen was a funny troll. I don't think I can come up with any fighter more aggressively unfunny than Colby Covington.

Do you genuinely for one moment believe that Colby isn't a huge bitch in real life?

You're weird for that

It's not his time yet. I'd like to see Garry destroy Colby and kick him out of the top 5 which he's been rank squatting forever in. Then it would be nice to see Ian get humbled badly by Shavkat or Leon or whoever is up there by that point.

Ian Garry is a tool, but he's an impressionable young dude who made some bad decisions and is hopefully still figuring out his life. Colby Covington is 36 years old. How a 36 year old grown man can willingly embarrass himself the way that he does is pathetic. The only thing he had going for him...

Just goes to my point how half the people in this thread are praising Aldo's sharpness and technique and the other half are saying he couldn't knock people out because his technique wasn't all there. Despite being literally one of the most skilled strikers in MMA history, people would rather...

Way to totally miss the point of the thread. I never said anything otherwise. Which is why it's strange that he doesn't have a single clean knockout with his hands, isn't it?

Blasting shots on the ground until someone is out is not the same as Topuria landing a single flush shot and slumping his opponent. Plenty of 145ers/135ers have at least one clean knockout by punches.. Even a notorious pillowfist like Holloway has two. Aldo has none. And yet they have the...

Jose Aldo didn't knock anyone out cold with his fists in his entire career. Not just during his title reign or when he was fighting ranked opponents. That is unusual for any striker, let alone one of the best and most explosive strikers in UFC history.

Dude Cub Swanson is the definition of looping arm punches. At least when Jose Aldo flurried, you can see him putting his hips into each punch:

Don't get me wrong, he's an extremely athletic and explosive guy. That just makes it more of a mystery why he doesn't knock anyone out cold when other less explosive fighters do. I mean the fact that two of the fights you listed are standing TKOs. Stephens is a liver shot which doesn't require...

Far less technical guys than Aldo have been able to spark people out just on virtue of being athletic—think Michael Johnson, Jeremy Stephens, Cub Swanson—and Aldo is one of the most naturally athletic and explosive fighters in MMA history. He should have at least one clean knockout with his...

My entire point is that he should have had that kind of power based on how fast and hard he was launching his punches. The fact that he doesn't makes it feel like his punches are cushioned in some way—not literally, but that's where the term pillowfisted comes in. Seriously, does any other...

Benson Henderson dropped people too but he couldn't put them away. People call Bendo pillowfisted because he was so athletic and yet wasn't KOing anybody. I think Aldo, as you said, had solid power but based on how explosive and technical he was it feels like he should have been a KO machine...
