The UFC has seen a wide variety of fighters throughout its existence. However, some of these fighters standout and dominate others due to their sheer strength. So let's take a look at some of the most powerful fighters to ever compete in the UFC.
Cain Velasquez: From his appearance, he might look like a chubby guy with no muscle, but he has manhandled some of the fighters bigger than him in size during his UFC career.
Brock Lesnar, "the beast incarnate," is undoubtedly one of the scariest-looking fighters in all of combat sports. However, Brock Lesnar has also proven his strength through his performance inside the cage.
Alistair Overeem: The 6-foot-4 heavyweight fighter was an absolute machine during his prime. His jacked, muscular physique made him look even more intimidating. Moreover, his superior striking ability made him a formidable opponent.
Derrick Lewis, "The Black Beast," justifies his nickname through his dominance inside the Octagon. He's got one of the most devastating right hands in the business. However, he is also capable enough to shrug off grapplers with his sheer strength if needed.
Francis Ngannou, the former heavyweight champion, not only has huge stature but is also ripped. He has made some of the most brutal-looking knockouts in the UFC. Moreover, he holds the record for the most powerful punch in the world.
