Who is the physically strongest fighter ever to compete in MMA?

Are we talking P4P? If we are then GSP and Matt Hughes have to be up there.

 

pound for pound?
mark shultz (ufc 9)

 

p4p sean sherk

 

On an absolute scale, it's probably between Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi. They are both pretty weak on a technical level, so they probably don't get the most out of their strength. Brock Lesnar is probably almost as strong as those two, but has half-decent technique, so he'll probably seem stronger in actual combat.

I don't really follow the lower weight classes that intensely, but p4p I'd put Kevin Randleman, Rampage Jackson and I guess Fedor up there. Randleman and Jackson have made some insane slams and suplexes thoughout the years, and fedor seems to be the only one who hasn't realized that he's actually a rather smallish HW, as he continues to push and shove much larger opponents around the ring, as if they were the ones with a 30+ lbs disadvantage.

Easy, it's Mariusz Pudzianowski - Multiple time World's Strongest man winner.

 

GSP is crazy strong. Watch his training videos. He does plyometrics and circuits with heavy weights. he'll do chin ups with 90 pound dumbells hanging off him. he'll do chest press with 110 pounds. after these exercises he'll do a plyometric exercise.

 

you beat me to it....

wish pudz would get back to competing in strongman.

 

I THINK Jimmy Ambriz has the largest squat, bench and deadlift totals for any MMA fighter. The lifts were actually done in competition, under the standards of one of the major powerlifting governing organizations.

My two cents; When strength is considered, one must also factor in grappling strength. So when factoring both criteria,. It is my STRONG opinion that Mark Coleman is the correct answer.

 

If you limit it to fairly high level guys who are full time MMA fighters I would think maybe Lesnar.

Randleman at his biggest was a freak.

 

mariusz and it isn't debatable. he's proven himself as the strongest man in the world a few times, the transition into being the strongest fighter in the world is pretty obvious.
