Following are 5 fighters from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) who would do just as great in a boxing ring
While UFC serves as the pinnacle of elite mixed martial arts, there are many boxers who participate in crossover fights and events. President Dana White himself adores the sport a lot. Having a strong pair of hands, we present to you five UFC stars who possess the ability to slay just as much in a boxing ring.
Five UFC Fighters We Would Love To See In A Boxing Ring
Dustin Poirier
It’s no wonder Dustin Poirier has been able to beat Conor McGregor twice this year with those hands. And how can we forget Justin Gaethje, Max Holloway and Khabib Nurmagomedov? The Diamond has leveled up a lot in the last five years and his boxing skills are certainly on fire.
Max Holloway
Even if Max Holloway had not said it himself after his performance against Calvin Kattar, we would have believed him to be ‘the best boxer in the UFC’ anyway. Instead of knowcking out guys with one punch, the Blessed gives his opponent a beating they would remember for a lifetime.
Amanda Nunes
Amanda Nunes must be pretty confident about your abilities, having the steel to call out an established Claressa Shields. Nunes owes a major part of her success to her incredible striking. With precision, power and composure, she’s got all it takes have a good run in the boxing realm.
Jorge Masvidal
Jorge Masvidal began his career as a bare-knuckle boxer and it would only be fair for him to make a boxing return before he retires. The welterweight title may now be out of the Gamebred’s grasp but he can throw it down with just about anyone and wouldn’t mind walking headfirst into the fire.
Petr Yan
Petr Yan has an excellent jab and a world-class chin. He hits like a train, and though he may get beat up a lot, Yan is fearless and would give a lot of pro boxers a good run for their money.
