    p4p it's Yushin Okami in my opinion. Not a flashy fighter but he's crazy strong.

    and he's never been done for juicing up like a lot of the American fighters.

    for being a small heavyweight and being old as he is, Randy Couture has amazing strength. being able to keep 280+ pound Lesnar up against the cage for almost two rounds is impressive considering Couture looked like a middleweight in comparison. The mans tendon strength must be phenomenal.

    Best post so far. Discounting Pudz, Ambriz still powerlifts. In terms of raw strenght he's defintly up there. Careerwise id probably go with Kerr. That guy was a chiselled and solid 260lbs in his prime and had some serious strength. I remember him submitting some guy in PRIDE with a neck crank. I thought he was going to tear the dudes head off!

    Randleman had awesome genetics. That guy was a beat when he wrestled at Ohio state at 170+ lbs. When he went up to heavy in Vale Tudo and the early UFC days he may as well have been a pro bodybuilder.

    Hard to argue against the World Strongest Man.
