10 Deadliest Punchers In MMA Today
8. Tyron 'Chosen One' Woodley
The NCAA Division One All-American Wrestler is touted for his vicious knockouts of Josh Koscheck and then UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler. The Ferocity of Woodley's striking is terrifying. For evidence of this, look no further than his 36 second KO of Jay Heron. After taking control of the center of the Octagon, Woodley demolished Heron with a ruinous overhand punch before dribbling his skull atop the canvas with thundering ground and pound.
With convincing victories over kickboxing specialists Darren Till and Stephen Thompson during his championship reign, Woodley proved his striking was just as lethal as his amateur wrestling skills. Dropping both men for the first times in their illustrious careers, he would go on to finish Till by submission and Thompson by decision, twice.
Although he would eventually lose his title by unanimous decision to Kamaru Usman, he would do so compromised by a broken hand. The most successful welterweight champion since the legendary Georges St-Pierre, the now analyst, TMZ host, and rapper is still among the top ranked fighters in his division.
