I love Ngannou but the "world's strongest punch" thing is bullshit

"It's the strongest we've ever recorded", well who did you record? 20-0 (20 KOs) Anthony Joshua? 39-0 (38 KOs) Deontay Wilder? Not a disrespect to Ngannou, just annoyed at UFC perpetuating this bullshit. And of course fan-boy Joe Rogan is leading the charge.

If they haven't measured Conor's straight left they should STFU about this world record shit.

I thought it was dubious when they said it, but I mean I guess it's possible.

Have they compared it to Ivan Drago's training punch from Rocky IV?

Anybody that lifts a 250 specimen off his feet with a punch You might wanna start considering that this could be a true statement.

Wilder doesn't hit as hard as ngannou I'm calling it..Charlie zellenoff would be dead if ngannou hit him.

How dare you. CZ is the uncrowned open-weight champ. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Christian Bale.

They just made up some random unit of measure and said he punches harder than Tyrion sponge. A guy he weighs 50 lbs more than.

Then declared him the champion.


Hmmmmm



The UFC should hold some non combative contests, who has the hardest punch/ kick / elbow etc. And other MMA related challenges between fighters.

i like this idea. the nhl does a skills competition once a year at the all star break and finds out who has the hardest shot ,most accurate shot ,fastest skater,agility etc.the ufc could do hardest punch ,quickest 100 meters,highest vertical jump ,hardest kick ,highest kick etc.it would be great for the fans and give rogan something to blow out of proportion every time he hypes a fight

Well if they start doing it I'll sue them for stealing my idea

Tyron Spong isn't even a real KO puncher.

Deontay Wilder is knocking guys into convulsions with pillows on his hands.

Wilder is softer than baby shit. I bet Joe calzaghe would knock him out with his Swansea slap

Not much of a big deal for them to say that. Thats how they hype their Heavyweights. Remember when Brock had THE BIGGEST HANDS EVER!

Most gloves are puny pussy gloves, Brock needed custom man sized gloves.

-Rogan, at every goddamn PPV

I thought it was Carwin that had the Shrek Hands. I thought he need 5XL gloves or some crazy thing.

Rogan's most definitely a fan boy, but apparently they've tested 1000+ people on it. I agree that I'd like to see this list of people though. Similarly it could be used to legitimately find out who the hardest pound for pound puncher is in combat sports.

Maybe, but they only mentioned it when he fought Bay-Rock Lesnar, before that they had his first round KO’s to promote.

This was the pic of Brock and Shane after Carwin had KO'd Mir. I don't know how much is the angle and Shane's hand being taped in a glove, but it definitely looks much bigger.
