Steven Thompson’s disrespect was noted glad you corrected that. If mma got rid of grappling not that it would lmao. Steven Thompson would be one of the goats. He was such a specialist. The treat of the takedown decently affected some of wonder boys performances. I wish he was younger I don’t want him to go 😭. I agree with most of the list tho nicely done g.
Gaetjhe is top 5 LW consistently. Just beat number 2 Poirier and a few months back beat up and coming killing machine Fiziev no.6. Just cos you dont like him does not mean he's not great.
Israel Adesanya had a VERY close striking match with Alex Pereira who is clearly the best striker in the UFC as he is a 2 weight world champion in kickboxing and Israel has shown CONSISTENTLY to be technically superior to him with Alex’s power closing the gap for him. Israel should be S tier for clearly being on Alex’s level and for having lost to the BEST striker. Also Alexander Volkanovski’s entire striking game plan is attack down the center with a blitzing combo and nothing else as we’ve seen him do in his fights. Still very high level but nowhere near as nuanced as Adesanya and nowhere near as effective as Alex Pereira.
@@benk3716 Not really. If it was only based on who could knock who out, Francis would top the list followed by a few more heavyweight. Sergei if you don't wanna count Francis. Alex only knocks out Izzy cause of his power though, he's not the more technical striker, and that's not what this list is about
having olivera at C tier is criminal ngl he’s got some of the best muay thai in the ufc. good video although i feel u are not considering what the threat of the takedown does to strikers
@iiDrop Flak bro i’m literally agreeing with u wym😂. it is wrong to put charles in C tier with the rest of those guys as he had rlly good moments in striking with dustin who is in A tier
@@JRF1004 but dustin didn’t completely shut him down in the stand up. Sure he was winning but it’s not like he just outclassed charles. Charles body work is partially what led to the finish
Sean o malley over wonderboy is insane. Makachev on the same level as wonderboy and kattar is insane. Masvidal same tier as wb too??? Bro knows nothing
34:15 Chito is at least b tier he blocked all of Rob Fonts punches and dropped him 3 times with a counter hook, a flying knee, and a side kick to his face. He had him looking like he fought Tony Ferguson in his prime.
Your reasoning for Izzy in A tier seems kinda weak ngl. Holding the belt for as long as he did purely kick-boxing has to count for more than you’re giving. I think Izzy is a level above Whittaker and as good as Pereira is he’s always gone toe to toe with Izzy and had problems despite the record.
Pereiras a better striker. Not a better fighter but he’s a 2 weight class world kickboxing champion and he beat the previous best striker in the UFC in adesanya who’s also a better striker than volk. I love volk a lot but he’s definitely at the same level as adesanya and a little below pereira in my eyes. Still s tier striker tho and p4p #1
D tier is too low, but just because he beat Adesenya, doesn’t mean his technique is flawless. His MMA Philly shell style has gotten him KO’d multiple times by way lesser opponents. And in 1 round by Pereria. His style worked perfectly against Izzy but it’s failed against many people time and time before
Islam needs to move up to A-S tier after his fight with Volk he proved he can stand up against someone who is considered the best boxer in the ufc rn. Islam’s striking is underrated
Everyone always shits on Prochazka because he’s very unconventional. By “objective” striking standards, he gets hit a lot, but by those same standards, he has a 94+% knockout rate so I think people should reevaluate their appraisals LOL
I actually think Marvin has much better skills than fight IQ. Look at that Cannonier fight...dude breaks all time striking record on you and you never go to grappling. The couple takedown he went for he actually got.
Alex Pereira and Blachowicz were both bigger than Adesanya what are you smoking? Jan weighed at least 20 pounds more than Adesanya inside the cage. Pereira weighed 220 on fight night, Adesanya weighed 200, and Pereira was also taller than Adesanya, it was obvious from seeing them both on the octagon
@@austinmccrary56 those 5'11 are all bigger than him on fight night, by bigger I mean they all weigh more than him. Adesanya is only tall, he ain't that big, Alex is tall and big, he's by far more of a weight bully than Adesanya ever was
@@bahdboy4858 being a few lbs bigger doesn't mean that much in a mostly striking match, being heavier can even be detrimental to certains fight styles. Fact is izzy got outstriked by both jan and alex, how does weight even factor into this?
@@eyer0n9you’re buggin out if you think Alex outstruck Izzy at all, Izzy won literally 90% of the fight, even back in kick boxing Alex has been out struck before by multiple guys the key difference is he is just way bigger then them and hits like a truck I legit don’t see how you think Izzy was getting out struck by Alex
the thing about perria is I’ve seen him get out struck a lot of times in his kick boxing it seems to be a common theme for him to get out struck but because he has stone hands he just ends up landing that one punch izzy definitely a better striker then him watching that fight you can’t tell me otherwise
@@Boyicould_dressya Let’s be smart here and actually use our brains here. You may have not gotten past middle school but try and keep up here. Another NBA player out shoots Steph Curry in a three point competition. That automatically makes that person a better shooter than curry cause he beat him?
Du Bronx has proved his striking is at least B teir his striking is levels above Usman and Colby lol and Conor was piecing up Dustin in the first fight before his legs went out I believe he still belongs in A teir striking easily.
What funny is that most world champion Kick Boxer said Alex Pereira is not technical fighter but power puncher... "His skill is low but have power" Said by Gabriel Verga 10time world kick boxing champion
I hate to say it…. But I don’t think this guy understands striking all that well. From a pure striking perspective, Gaethje is a world above Aljo, Charles is ahead of Justin and Conor is above Masvidal. Putting Morano ahead of Leon, Sandhagen and Conor makes no sense.
Tony was drained multiple times for that fight because khabib went abroad during covid and people keep saying that fight changed tony no age and inactivity caught up with him and Tony cut weight in camp for khabib fight got cancelled tony stopped camp then tony had to cut weight again on short notice right after a cancelled fight
What about Jon Jones? He is a really good striker, for me the best guy até keeping distance and taking advantage of his reatch. Just look and what he did to rampage and Evens for exemple
liked the vid, could you please not start with #1 next time? gotta put him last to top it off, sum up what he does better than others on the list and keep us guessing who it is throughout.
Mma math doesn’t work. Some guys have a great night. Just gotta watch the fights and make educated critiques of what you see. Not “this guy beat this guy so he’s a better striker.” Like you said if that was the case then kamaru Is a better striker than masvidal. Having gatjhe d tier but fizev b tier is criminal. I felt that the grapplers tier list was far more rational than this one
Great list man, i agree with almost everything, I do think we need another Tier cause it’s mental to put Gaethje and Chandler with Strickland, but other than that even if i would place them differently i can definitely see your reasoning.
Bro what are u talking about conor mcgregor skills didn’t diminish his legs broke in two fights wtf are u talking about conor was still outboxing his opponents in those matchups aswell that’s not being diminished.
It's really hard watching this guy and mma guru make these lists, I rather an experienced fighter do it mostly because they got more than half these wrong
Gane fights horrible strikers and he's limited compared to the smaller guys, though. 99% of heavyweights and lightheavyweights suck balls, man. The best strikers are not in the big weight divisions, they're rodriguez, moreno, yan, o'malley and volkanovski.
Bro how can sean strickland be in D tier if he went toe to toe with cannonier he definitely isn’t an F tier cuz that would mean he’s like ben askren 👁️👄👁️
This list started out okay, but turned into autism by the end. You seriously think Moreno is better then Poirier? Chito nearly killed Font in their fight, but you still have him below him? Blachowicz below adesanya despite out striking him? Why is masvidal so high when he got outstruck by Usman and colby on the feet? Oliveira has to be B tier too. He is a multi dimensional striker with perfect technique. He just lacks the head movement which prevents him from being A or S tier.
Great video man the only one I disagree with is I would put Izzy at s tier considering he did beat Alex for 3 rounds I would put them at the same level
I disagree. He did steal round 1 in the final secs but Alex was winning the striking exchanges throughout the majority of the fight and clearly seemed to be the better striker. He won round 3 due to pure wrestling and Alex was tired in round 4 because of it and Israel used a lot of clinching there. He was getting outstruck by Whittaker maybe 40% of their fight despite being ridiculously bigger than him, and was getting outjabbed to even though he has like an 8 inch reach advantage. That should not happen lol. And jan also outstruck him in their fight clearly. And if you go back further he was getting outboxed by Romero and had nothing for Romero with hands. I genuinely don’t think he even landed a punch on him. And he almost got kod by gastelum. His boxing genuinely just does not seem that good at all. He was missing a ton against vettori to lol. His leg kicks are outstanding but that along with pretty good body kicks are the only things he really seems great at. Most of his movement nowadays is literally just leaning back because he he so much taller and longer than everyone else. You need to be well rounded and amazing at everything in striking to get into s. And I just don’t think he is even in the same tier as Alex or gane
