Derrick Lewis' power is overrated

[kalabula]

This just really highlights Roy’s God tier chin. Seriously, WTF!

 

[chillyoo]

Couldn't finish Latifi with a flying knee

Couldn't finish old JDS with a direct cheap shot

Direct shot on the chin couldn't finish Roy Nelson

If that was Ngannou he would be out.

He's more of a volume striker than anything. When people say his power gets better throughout the fight the real reason why is because his strikes build up.

Francis couldn’t even KO Stipe over 5 rounds LOL sissy

 

[alex21cms]

That's fat Latifi, not Ivanov.

so volkan>lewis lol

 

[xn7]

TS is right. When I met Derrick and I shook his hand I was surprised that I wasn't KO'd. Dude has pillow fists.

Arlovski



and Kharitonov

AA fight was fixed. Horrible stand up but yeah it counts I guess. Kharitonov was more recent right? Like in the last 2 years?

Everyone talks about how they wanted Fedor in the UFC but never seeing Kharitonov in the UFC was a disservice to the fans. Best HW boxer in mma history in my opinion. But just one hit power but just technically sound in the boxing department.

The Arlovski stand up was definitely bullshit. Roy had him in a crucifix that he couldn’t get out of and they stood them up. That being said, the question was about Roy’s chin and he has been KOd a few times.
The Kharitonov fight was from Bellator more recently. Kharitonov was a beast back in the day but for some reason he never made his way to the UFC. He’s older and much heavier these days. He’s had a few losses and I think that hurt his momentum.

 

[rakeleaves]

He has power, but Francis clearly has more.

Arlovski

He also knocked out another GOAT chin candidate in his prime, Ben Rothwell. Something Mark Hunt couldn't do. This is why Arlovski was my pick for hardest hitter in MMA until Shane Carwin (which made me undecided between them) and then Ngannou who is the clear #1.

 

[LikeItIs]

Every shot lands clean in top-level MMA. I'm going to base my opinion on the fact that he doesn't knock people out with every strike he throws.

Overrated!

Love that fight. One of Arlovskis best performances.

Nelson really fell off when Sergei fought him tho. He was just a punching bag

Arlovski was my favorite HW when I first got into MMA, I think him KO'ing both Roy and Rothwell was more of accuracy than straight up power.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

...

Literally his whole tactic is to look for the KO. Lol

That's what made Arlovski so special, he had both speed and massive power and precision. Sadly he is nothing but a shell now

Pathetic thread

Derrick Lewis sucks and would have a hard time holding a top 10 ranking in 2005.

Hes the perfect example of how bad the HW division is today.
