10 Most Violent Fighters In UFC History

4. Justin Gaethje

When it comes to all-action, blood and guts violence in MMA, there are few better in this sport than Justin Gaethje. The former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion has only had five fights inside the UFC, but has already become a fighter that cannot be missed.

Early on in his career, Gaethje was fun to watch fight because he would throw caution to the wind and attack his opponent with reckless abandon. In particular, his ability to leg kick opponents and gradually break them down has been a devastating tool for him.

However, after suffering two losses inside the Octagon, Gaethje had to make a slight adjustment to his fight style. That doesn't mean he's any less vicious though. Instead of absorbing absurd amounts of punishment just to land one blow, the 30-year old has made himself defensively solid to allow him to bludgeon his opponents successfully.

There are many scary fighters inside the UFC's lightweight division, but there's little that's more frightening than someone who is as fearless and loves inflicting damage as much as Gaethje.
