Who's the physically strongest MW in UFC?

[Human Bass]

Right now DDP easily.

 

[Ibm]

Homero in terms of pure physical strength.

 

[pankrat]

Yushin Okami

There have been MWs weighting 10-15lbs heavier than him that were obviously stronger

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Paul Harris....for sure

 

[GiganticMeat]

What are you talking about? Okami was a huge MW

 

[TheGreatA]

DDPs grappling is basically just him using raw power to wrestle people down. Not a whole lot of technique there.

Strength-wise he made Whittaker look like a kid fighting his dad.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I wonder which MW would be best at scrabble?

Rich Franklin, probably.

 

[IIIIIIII]

anderson silva

he was very deceptively strong

espcecially in the clinch

nah, if romero was smart, he would have just taken him to the ground, "easily", and if romero's cardio was on point, that would have become very interesting. shit, chael sonnen took him down, and landed hundreds of punches on him. imagine if those were strikes from romero? anderson would have been ko'd for sure.

 

[GolovKing]

Costa, DDP, and that jacked Brazilian guy who competed in BJJ. I forgot what his name is. He gassed out a lot and is really stiff with his striking

 

[krelianx]

Cannonier. Khamzat.

 

[Copper Burner]

If you mean who can bench/lift the most it has to be something in between Costa or Vettori, Romero maybe, jacked guys with not the longest arms.

I do not think that is what he means.

The answer is easy. Khamzat. His grip strength alone is enough to crush people's spirit.

 

[Throwin Bombs]

No one is going to mention Tim Boetsch?

 

[pankrat]

What are you talking about? Okami was a huge MW

I guess you heard it from Joe Rogan or maybe some shertard but a guy who fights at WW almost half of his career, in his 20s, 30s and 40s never missing weight....is not a "huge MW". If he was a huge MW, he would not be able to do so

Okami fought the way bigger Rich Franklin in '07 as a lanky 6'2" who barely cut weight for 185:

Thats not a big MW by any means. He is slender but noticeably thin and narrow compared to truly big MWs as Costa or Rockhold, let alone Poatan.

- Okami weighted-in at soft 200lbs with clothes on for a week-notice bout vs OSP at LHW. Thats very light for a MW who isnt even preparing for a fight.


Here in his late 30s vs Dhiego Lima at 170 in UFC

A below average sized MW by today standards.
A tiny MW by Poatan's standards.

@Serge421 educate yourself and stop parroting sherbro myths

I don't remember anyone at middleweight who consistently stopped Chael's takedowns. Also, Romero didn't have the cardio to land hundreds of punches.

 

[Streeter]

Costa or DDP

 

[pankrat]

Yushin Okami

Another shertard parroting shertard memes.

Get another hobby Sergio.

@Royce's Gi

 

[1BadMF]

I have no idea.

 

[Copper Burner]

Costa or DDP

Costa is mostly Beach fluff. DDP strength is overrated.

 

[StonedLemur]

That dude will scramble your knee that's for sure sir lol.
