It’s funny people love to talk about how Brian Ortega pushed volk and Arnold Allen lowkey had a close fight with Holloway but people love to act like Yair didn’t beat max on the feet and turned him into a wrestler and same with volk and on the flip side people love wonderboy and mvp and can acknowledge the striking even with lack of grappling but act like Yair is terrible because that hole in his game fan base is so bias before ufc 290 he was by far the “most dangerous fighter volk ever faced” but then he lost and people acted like he was never actually a good fighter he also folded Josh emmit on the feet but topuria goes to a decision with emmit and the glaze with hard also a huge topuria fan just people really love to pick and chose who the call trash after a loss or two Yair also was destroying Ortega in that fight till he got caught but he’s actually never loaded a fight on the feet
Hour long video for you guys. Hope you enjoy. I feel like this topic is so non definitive (even tho I put 100% correct in the title) I’m not set on a lot of these placements. I’ll most likely be live sometime in the next day so you guys can debate some of these placements. Anyway it’s 3am. I’m going to bed
Strickland outstruck Adesanya, yet Adesanya is still a miles better striker. Putting Jan and Adesanya behind Strickland is laughable, they're both there somewhere on the top and I'd probably still give a little edge to Adesanya in terms of striking (even when I think in MMA Jan beats him 9 times out of 10).
Carlos prates at 17 while mvp and sean are in top 10😂😂😂😂 Mvp beat holland and bellator cans hes low output asf and has a clash counterstriking style that can creates snoozefest Sean went even with yan and has zero durability, he got ko'd by chito(how is a fluke leg kick any different than a heavy counter) And there are moments where he gets hurt by unranked opps
Its all about effectiveness imo, reason why volk is a better striker than yair even though he doesnt throw a 10% of the fancy things that yair throws, all about how effective you are with it
Also Alex's variety of strikes didn't stop Izzy to knock him the f up. Yan's technical kicks and spinning punches didn't help him to finish Sean. You know what helps? A calf kick and a hook 😂
Good video, but didn't Volk out-stike Illia? What do you mean by 'outstirke'? Because, I know Volk was beating Illia on points. I even saw Holloway having quite a lot of success in his fight with Illia, where I thought he won one of the rounds.
Now go to the mirror and tell yourself that Islam would beat MVP, Wonderboy, Gane, Strickland, Adesanya, Jan and Yair in a pure striking battle without laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Islam outstruck volk olivera and porrier Mvp beat who and looks good against whoo? Low decision crash fighter who is highly rated cause he looks unorthodox Wonderboy has got ko'd multiple times Gane throwing fancy shit and bouncing around doesnt make him better than islam one the strikers at hw suck and gane got outstruck by volkov r1 Strickland............... Adesanya.............. Jan........... Yair throwing fancy shit doesnt make him a top striker Throwing fancy shit and looking cool doesnt equal good striker islam has a good southpaw striking game and has beaten quality opp 😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is no pure striking, you're talking about kickboxing, Islam isnt the best the kickboxer at 155 and he aint the best boxer at 155 but he is easily the best striker at 155 and overall in the ufc
Ilia's low kicks p4p top 5 in my opinion. He kinda dropped Emmett with it. He made Volk take a spin with it. He was f*cking Holloway up worse than Justin with it. Respect Ilia's kicks (or kick)
The double glory champ on 3# LoL... 9.5 power... Bro really ignores all KOs on Glory. So the first guy to KO Max became the most powerful? Such a casual take.
Ddp is a top 10 striker, this is a striker list not a who looks like they’re fighting in a movie, if it works it works , he literally fought 3 middleweight champions and made them look goofy on the feet
ngl not having jon jones atleast in honorable mentions is crazy he has 10 kicks same with knee/elbows good defense and like 7 boxing and decent in everything else aside from power
Casual list 😮 Here’s my list : 1) Petr Yan 2) Alex Preira 3) Illia Topuria 4) Sean O’Malley 5) Islam Makachev 6) Alexander Volkanovski 7) Max Holloway 8) Miachel Venom Page 9) Stephen Thompson 10) Ciryl Gane 11) Robert Whittaker 12) Sean Strickland 13) Jan Blachowich 14) Dustin Poirier 15) Israel Adesanya 16) Carlos Prates 17) Yair Rodriguez 18) Jack Della Madallena 19) Steve Erceg 20) Umar Nurmagomedov
ngl periera and mvp are definitely up there with them for just striking. especially if you wanna base it off a curve because they’re in the heavier weight classes
Holloway lost to volk 3 times and has dozen losses before that. How are you putting him over pereira when he has gotten outs truck that many times, thats just a biased take.
Polish Power is getting pretty old but what if he went up to heavyweight and started destroying the low rank blobs till he got a higher ranked opponent like Almeida
See this list is a weird one for me cause like Yair had amazing flashy striking, but it just never seems as effective as some of the simpler styles. I’d definitely have Whittaker above Yair and maybe JDM as well but that one is very arguable. Whittaker is less flashy than Yair for sure but he’s more effective with what he’s got, and despite having some off nights he’s never been beaten to decision striking. He’s been caught and KO’d cause he is a little chinny, but nobody has outstruck him to the bell (he won that Izzy rematch in my opinion so I don’t count that cause it’s a robbery). I’d have Whittaker and Porier along very similar lines, albeit again I think there is an argument for Rob to be above Dustin cause he’s way more diverse with his striking and has more tools. In general though I think Dustin and Rob should be in a similar place, and I don’t hate Dustin being a spot above Rob.
Ilia is more effective than yan due to his power but i think yan is more technical even in the boxing,ilia’s technique is crisp but he’s not super accurate its just that when he does land he makes it count
@@LeftLaneMMABecause he didn't get knocked the f out by a guy who weighs 20 lbs less than him like Alex. Or didn't go to a split decision against a 40 year old like Alex. That's why 😂😂
@@ozguraydn8407That's a horrendous take buddy. If Topuria cut down to 135 he would get KO ed by O'Malley , That's how things works.Chin would be compromised by cutting that much weight. You must be knew to the sports. As such, Alex has never been pierced up or knocked down by a bum like Jai Herbert.
@@ozguraydn8407 nigga are you slow?💀 he was drained in that weight class and Jan used his ground game. Illia is only good for his boxing. Alex is way better all around
bro ilia has only boxing and leg kicks....periera has it all...and he never get outstruck yes he gets koed by he was winning on feet until that possum ko
@carlossssssss5492 izzy didnt outstrike him i know u have seen only numbers(casuals)🤣🤣in first fight significant amount of izzy's strike were ground strike alex was outstriking him on feet and in 2nd fight he was again outstriking izzy again until that possum ko.......i know u r a casual dont prove it
@bhumihar-z8o In their first fight in the ufc Alex got saved by the bell and in their second kickboxing fight Izzy was way out striking him before he got ko'd. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying Izzy is better than Pereira but he did get outstruck
@carlossssssss5492 getting caught and outstruck is different periera was outstriking him in both fights...i m not talking about kickboxing..in their both mma fight izzy got outstruck on feet u can see the stats and fight both
