10 Deadliest Punchers In MMA Today
1. Francis 'The Predator' Ngannou
It is rare that someone comes along with so much ferocious power that even the mention of his name sends trembles down the spines of world class heavyweight fighters. Ngannou is that man.
Holder of the world record for the most punching force ever measured, (equivalent to a whopping 96 horse power) the African born native of France is known for literally sending 250 plus pound men airborne with a single strike. His 2017 KO of Alistair Overeem is the most devastating in MMA history, hitting the kick-boxing legend so hard that his head snapped back like he had been shot directly in the forehead. He followed this up by delivering a trauma inducing flying hammer fist that will live on forever in infamy.
Knocking out his last three victims in under three minutes combined, including a 26 second KO of former champion Cain Velasquez in his own backyard of Phoenix, Arizona, Ngannou is the most exciting heavyweight to never win a world title. At the age of 32, when many heavyweights reach their athletic prime, there is plenty of time for Ngannou to decapitate fighters for years to come.
