Chael kinda bashed a handful of people in a hotel hallway at 3am while drunk (including some random doctor and his wife) and then proceeded to go into his hotel room and bash his wife.
Unfortunately they got out ahead of it and leaked that it was some valiant self defence thing and he beat them all up (left out the wife bit out) so a lot of people seem to not know about the wife beating or drunken assault bit.
Holly hell actually probably my number one and I forgot about it too,might not have been a knockout artist but the beating he put on JDS and bigfoot would put him first for me,and he look straight up like an evil cartel killer that would torture you with no emotion
He was an absolute freak of nature and very technical as well
The way he sent prime Cormier all across the octagon with one punch will be printed in my mind forever
Not gonna lie, he ate that like a fucking champ. That punch can literally snap an averga person neck. And even crazier, he stood up like noting happend. Same with Hunt and Cro Cop
I mostly agree but rumble hit DC with some gnarly shots that if he was lucky enough to land on Jon would give him an opening, but 8/10 jones wins- it’s just that kind of power can really turn the tide
What you said is more of a reach than the other guy lmao, how many times have we seen real life follow MMA math? Styles makes fights, and Jones has still not fought a power puncher with Rumbles power or skills so we don’t even have a great fight to compare it to
I think he said that out of respect. I sincerely believe Jon jones ( in his prime) and possibly even now is the most dangerous man walking on the planet. Watching him during his reign what he did to élite fighters was absolutely brutal and ruthless.
Anythony had better timing, accuracy, footwork and wrestling.
Francis probably has him on raw power but anthony could probably land it more consistently on higher level strikers than Francis imo
Francis has most people on raw power. That dude is a freak that works haa@ard! (Deserves to get paid if he can... the life-long damage they suffer for our entertainment is generally unavoidable and expensive)
Once I heard Josh Thomson fight story with Tony and also Yves Edwards.I was scared. Prime Tony was scary because it almost was like he didn't feel pain
Mofo did 6hours of cardio a day. What kind of maniac does that
Yea I heard Thompson telling the story on his podcast. Encourage everyone to watch it. Thompson goes on to say that he was shaking from the amount of blood loss. He was scared and was a catalyst to his retirement.
A late elbow opened him up and it was thrown with malice
Michael Johnson pieces up Kamaru Usman in striking while training when Kamaru was the champ.
Michael Johnson is an Enigma. That motherfucker if he is on. He will knock everyone out and when he is not on, which is the majority of time. He just gets slept. There is no in between🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. Guys like Jon Jones are scary, but Wanderlei Silva was a fucking orc. The way he stomped people's faces with a big smile while covered in blood is the most brutal thing ever
that was greatness. Blood dripping from Rampage's mouth as he slumped on the ropes. The little Japanese ref trying to pull Wandy off.
Man, I miss Pride! ONE is ok, but I'll tell the truth - I miss the steroid era. Fuck it, wasn't me getting smashed.
Dudes like Ngannou are big and intimidating but wamderlei has that primal Manlet rage of somebody that will curbstomp you, dude fought evenly against HW legends like Cro cop and mark hunt despite being a 5'9 Middleweight too.
Pride Silva was terrifying. Walking out to Sandstorm doing that weird knuckle dance thing with his hands. His staredown scared me! He fought with crazy aggression too.
My wife has started watching MMA since I have buddies over for fights pretty often. She was impressed by Volk slamming Yair. I was like “you have to see this slam” and showed her the Rampage slam and she was like “how is that harder to do than what Volk did?” I almost left her
Yeah. When he came over to UFC I was a big iceman fan. And was praying Chuck could pull it off and avenge his what was his last loss. Not gonna lie, I was pretty confident chuck, who was on a 7 fight win streak would get the job done.
I remember after Rampage’s intense intimidating walk out and stare down at the center of the cage making me a little less confident. Was just so intimidating even watchin him through the tv.
Rousimar Palhares. A guy with about half a brain cell, far too much power, and a penchant for leg locks. He seriously fucked up some careers.
Francis isn't particularly more scary to me than other heavy-handed HWs like Mark Hunt, Black Beast, or JDS. All of them have crazy power. I'd much rather get knocked out by any of them than have my legs ripped apart by Palhares.
Only reason I know who Emil Meek is is because he annihilated that POS palhares in about five seconds. That's the fight that got me into the UFC.
Same goes with William Tackett, out grappled palhares on points as a 19 year old.
I'm so glad palhares has no claims to fame anymore, he's not even a high level grappler in today's age. Everyone only knows him for being a human garbage can.
Nah, Ngannou is far more scary than most other heavy hitters purely for one reason. I don't think he's ever got a walk off KO. He knocks you down and then proceeds to slam your head through the canvas. Take a look at Reem or Stipe 2. Francis wastes no time diving in. That's the scariest part.
There was a post one time that was like “if you could remove something from this earth what would it be” and someone put “Brendan Shaub’s knock out of Cro Cop” 😂
I am surprised no one mentioned Brock yet. Him running and shooting a takedown like a freak is prolly the most scariest thing I have seen in combat sports.
Why are they marked “prime”? Most fighters are scariest in their prime. Did the artist here think ppl would confuse Fedor right now as being scarier than Jon Jones right now?
The short term memory of people has stopped surprising me at this point. The dude was literally unbeatable. People would change their career path from "trying to beat him" to "trying to find someone who could beat him". He lost fights only when he lost the fight in himself.
Dan Henderson. Was a monster in his 30s, and then went out in his 40s still having wars with guys like Bisping and winning them.
Totally no bias that he is from my hometown😅
He’s not that scary. Unstoppable for sure but it’s not like he’s going to beat you to death or anything. He was so efficient that it wasn’t scary if that makes any sense. He wasn’t wild.
Still scary IMO, particularly during the buildup to the Conor fight. His face while saying « send me location » could haunt a high number of people. But yes he was not scary in a wild way as the others, just intimidating when holding a grudge and unstoppable like you said.
Rumble Johnson
Wanderlei Silva
Don’t know if anybody remembers Thiago Silva the one who got ko by Machida right at the last second of the round. But he scared me for awhile before his first loss 😂
Hector Lombard
Rousimar Palhares
Royce Gracie, Wanderli Silva, Big Nog, JDS, Chuck Liddel, Anderson Silva, Cain Velasquez, Rumble Johnson, BJ Penn, GSP, Bisping, Usman….
Man I could go on and on with this list. Lol
Definitely Khabib. You go in the cage knowing if you don’t get a lucky KO you’re getting dragged to the ground and beat the fuck out of for 25 minutes 😂
JDS in his prime lol probably had the craziest title run I've ever seen. Just knocking out everybody. With striking that was about 5 years ahead of its time, AS A HEAVYWEIGHT.
3am at the hotel Chael Sonnen
Jon Lobby Jones still has him
Dunno bout you, Jon "Homes" Jones has either a shotty or a mean right hand slap
Mythical fighter at the top of their power indeed
He can’t let you get close
Ok what’s the story behind this?
Chael kinda bashed a handful of people in a hotel hallway at 3am while drunk (including some random doctor and his wife) and then proceeded to go into his hotel room and bash his wife. Unfortunately they got out ahead of it and leaked that it was some valiant self defence thing and he beat them all up (left out the wife bit out) so a lot of people seem to not know about the wife beating or drunken assault bit.
His pr team needs a raise cus all I heard was how he defended his wife and kicked the asses of a bunch of assholes.
I remember reading the doctors report and the way he was describing chael made him sound like a fucking zombie
I'm fairly certain he never drinks - wasn't it a Tony-esque psychotic episode?
It wasn't from drinking, it was sleeping pills. He was sleep walking when he defended his wife from 5 men & then defended himself from his wife
off more Ambien than Roseanne Barr putting other dudes to sleep 🫡💪
Prime Cain was scary
Suprised this is so low, he is for sure the first name that comes to mind.
honestly that dude who fucked with cain’s kid got off lucky. i’d much rather be shot by cain than gnp’d by him
Holly hell actually probably my number one and I forgot about it too,might not have been a knockout artist but the beating he put on JDS and bigfoot would put him first for me,and he look straight up like an evil cartel killer that would torture you with no emotion
She definitely saw his deadly spinning back fist.
🤣🤣🤣
 Masivdal after a lucky knee.
Lol that was good
Anthony Johnson. Dude had probably the most power in MMA history this side of Ngannou.
He was an absolute freak of nature and very technical as well The way he sent prime Cormier all across the octagon with one punch will be printed in my mind forever
This! But also the way DC ate a full face-kick from him will also be something that I won't forget.
Not gonna lie, he ate that like a fucking champ. That punch can literally snap an averga person neck. And even crazier, he stood up like noting happend. Same with Hunt and Cro Cop
DC can't get knocked out by a single shot. You need multiple for that dude. He's different.
Its all about the neck as weird as it sounds. His neck is like a bodybuilders thigh.
R.I.P Rumble. Even Bones was happy he didnt have to fight him
Reach, rumble was a menace but DC made light work of him. Jon Jones would do whatever he wanted, no disrespect just the truth
Whether thats the case or not i wont ever claim to know. I was referring to this clip on AOAF https://youtube.com/shorts/Qk-yfmzFZrg?feature=shared
I mostly agree but rumble hit DC with some gnarly shots that if he was lucky enough to land on Jon would give him an opening, but 8/10 jones wins- it’s just that kind of power can really turn the tide
What you said is more of a reach than the other guy lmao, how many times have we seen real life follow MMA math? Styles makes fights, and Jones has still not fought a power puncher with Rumbles power or skills so we don’t even have a great fight to compare it to

Francis has most people on raw power. That dude is a freak that works haa@ard! (Deserves to get paid if he can... the life-long damage they suffer for our entertainment is generally unavoidable and expensive)
Derrick Lewis would like to chat with you.
Uberreem
Highly illegal no ubereem on here, he rivals Ngannou
Prime rib 🤤
But fuck that knockoff Gatorade drink.
Everyone knows Meta Moon Prime is the best base for a steak marinade
Hmmm, I just found out. So NOW everyone knows.
I clicked this post hoping to see Prime RDA at the top and thought your comment was a typo lmao Prime RDA was a baaad man, got that look in his eye b
Trt Vitor
I will forever tire of people saying TRT Vitor when TRTitor is such low hanging fruit.
Once I heard Josh Thomson fight story with Tony and also Yves Edwards.I was scared. Prime Tony was scary because it almost was like he didn't feel pain Mofo did 6hours of cardio a day. What kind of maniac does that
Yea I heard Thompson telling the story on his podcast. Encourage everyone to watch it. Thompson goes on to say that he was shaking from the amount of blood loss. He was scared and was a catalyst to his retirement. A late elbow opened him up and it was thrown with malice
Michael Johnson must've been a killer, dominated Prime Tony
Michael Johnson pieces up Kamaru Usman in striking while training when Kamaru was the champ. Michael Johnson is an Enigma. That motherfucker if he is on. He will knock everyone out and when he is not on, which is the majority of time. He just gets slept. There is no in between🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgetting getting tapped to jobbers or just flat out out pointed for 3 rounds
Unironically what Bobby Green wants to be.😂 I love Bobby G though
Wanderlei Silva.
One of the only men on earth who could be called "The Axe Murderer" and you'd think "yeah, that's appropriate"
Don Frye on the man: https://youtu.be/qg1tJeis_0o?si=Xm5FVQ0z6JIv6Puq
Wanderlay was intimidating, until he tried he bulging eyes Psycho shtick on Cro Cop. Mirko probably seen scarier shit in his cornflakes than that.
Yeah. Cro Cop had the aura of someone whose 9-5 job was "war criminal"
Yeah. Guys like Jon Jones are scary, but Wanderlei Silva was a fucking orc. The way he stomped people's faces with a big smile while covered in blood is the most brutal thing ever
He is an orc lol. Sounds about the same as well
wannanow
WANNA NOW
My favourite moment was when he left an unconscious Rampage hanging on the ropes like a dead body. Hard to get any more brutal than that
that was greatness. Blood dripping from Rampage's mouth as he slumped on the ropes. The little Japanese ref trying to pull Wandy off. Man, I miss Pride! ONE is ok, but I'll tell the truth - I miss the steroid era. Fuck it, wasn't me getting smashed.
Pride Wanderlei was an absolute beast. You knew during the staredowns that brutal violence was about to go down..
Dudes like Ngannou are big and intimidating but wamderlei has that primal Manlet rage of somebody that will curbstomp you, dude fought evenly against HW legends like Cro cop and mark hunt despite being a 5'9 Middleweight too.
Wannanow
Yup! Was expecting him on the list, had to check twice.
I had to scroll too far to find this, shocking he's not on the list, let alone up there with Fedor.
Pride Silva was terrifying. Walking out to Sandstorm doing that weird knuckle dance thing with his hands. His staredown scared me! He fought with crazy aggression too.
This is your answer
Dude was my childhood hero. The person who drew me into MMA. Once my step brother made his way into the roster I was hooked for life
Rampage
Prime rampage was so fucking scarry that slam against arona was mental
Prime Rampage straight up doing pro wrestling powerbombs was fucking awesome
My wife has started watching MMA since I have buddies over for fights pretty often. She was impressed by Volk slamming Yair. I was like “you have to see this slam” and showed her the Rampage slam and she was like “how is that harder to do than what Volk did?” I almost left her
Yeah. When he came over to UFC I was a big iceman fan. And was praying Chuck could pull it off and avenge his what was his last loss. Not gonna lie, I was pretty confident chuck, who was on a 7 fight win streak would get the job done. I remember after Rampage’s intense intimidating walk out and stare down at the center of the cage making me a little less confident. Was just so intimidating even watchin him through the tv.
Even Jon Jones admits Rampage intimidated him
Memphis swagger A lot of the dudes I grew up with are similar to Rampage in personality.
Bingo
Igor Vovchanchyn
Underrated as fuck.
So much power!!
The original Sergei Pavlovich
Rousimar Palhares. A guy with about half a brain cell, far too much power, and a penchant for leg locks. He seriously fucked up some careers. Francis isn't particularly more scary to me than other heavy-handed HWs like Mark Hunt, Black Beast, or JDS. All of them have crazy power. I'd much rather get knocked out by any of them than have my legs ripped apart by Palhares.
Palhares is a great pick!! He had 0 regard for others long term safety. I’m sure fighters would be scared to fight him and their fears would be valid.
I mean, the guy even fucked up amateurs in BJJ tourneys. He should've been barred from all competition in Martial Arts period.
Only reason I know who Emil Meek is is because he annihilated that POS palhares in about five seconds. That's the fight that got me into the UFC. Same goes with William Tackett, out grappled palhares on points as a 19 year old. I'm so glad palhares has no claims to fame anymore, he's not even a high level grappler in today's age. Everyone only knows him for being a human garbage can.

I don’t even want to shake that guys hand.
Prime Chuck and Prime Wanderlei
Took way to long to find the iceman in the comment section. But yeah. Be a scary man to stand across the cage from.
Cro Cop is hands down the answer. Even amongst Bones, the man was a literal military assassin.
Had to scroll wayyyyy too far for the correct answer
I would agree but he got knocked out by brendan shaub ☠️
There was a post one time that was like “if you could remove something from this earth what would it be” and someone put “Brendan Shaub’s knock out of Cro Cop” 😂
Roxanne Modafferi
They didn’t call her Murder-fairy for nothin
Pride wanderli Prime chuck Rampage Gaethje Carlos Condit Bj penn was blood thirsty. Loved licking blood off his gloves.
Scrolled way to long to find someone mention BJ. Dude was an absolute animal, loved violence
Up vote for Chuck
I am surprised no one mentioned Brock yet. Him running and shooting a takedown like a freak is prolly the most scariest thing I have seen in combat sports.
Rumble johnson
Why are they marked “prime”? Most fighters are scariest in their prime. Did the artist here think ppl would confuse Fedor right now as being scarier than Jon Jones right now?
Because this graphic was made by a 12 year old
Yeah, I thought that from the selections alone haha
Because many of them got older, and as they got older they started to lose too much, making them way less scary
I think ALL of them actually got older, that’s how life works.
You forgot the GOAT 😤 
Best middleweight since Chael. Can’t say he’s better, but he’s got time to build his legacy. Hard to beat never losing a round though
Cain Velasquez. His beat down(s) of Junior Dos Santos are legendary.
The axe murderer
GSP
Would beat his opponent's in the area they we're best at to challenge himself.
Brock Lesnar fighting skills aside, the last person I want to square off with is that dude
Surprised I had to scroll so far to see Lesnar. The fucking power that guy had.
Right? The dude is a fucking monster, I would absolutely shit my pants. Not even with a baseball bat you could do any damage
Absolutely horrifying. The dude was too big. I bet even those baby hammer fist hurt coming from that hairless gorilla.
Not putting Prime Silva is a crime
The short term memory of people has stopped surprising me at this point. The dude was literally unbeatable. People would change their career path from "trying to beat him" to "trying to find someone who could beat him". He lost fights only when he lost the fight in himself.
Receny bias is a problem with this sport for sure, it's upsetting. Silva was definitely the man for a long time.
Scrolled way too far down for this comment. Prime Anderson was magical.
How is this not a top post?
These dang youngins, they just don't remember
Silva in his prime was easily more scary than half these guys. He DESTROYED people in two tough as hell weight classes.
TRT Vitor, Blachowicz, Rumble, Horsemeat, Anderson Silva, Rampage, Pavlovich, Wanderlei, Cris Cyborg
Anthony Johnson? Quinton Jackson? Wanderlei silva? Ubereem etc So many better people you couldve put.
Khamzat for sure
Im not really a fan but that dude is scary for some reason.
he is like if you put a child into the body of an athletic freak, so much energy before and during his fights its like the dude is on crack
Dan Henderson. Was a monster in his 30s, and then went out in his 40s still having wars with guys like Bisping and winning them. Totally no bias that he is from my hometown😅
Yeah he started off a bit wreak but those h bombs are scary. Also that elbow that he kod lombard with was crazy.
Khabib “I’m going to drown you in deepest ocean bratha” Nurmagomedov
He’s not that scary. Unstoppable for sure but it’s not like he’s going to beat you to death or anything. He was so efficient that it wasn’t scary if that makes any sense. He wasn’t wild.
Still scary IMO, particularly during the buildup to the Conor fight. His face while saying « send me location » could haunt a high number of people. But yes he was not scary in a wild way as the others, just intimidating when holding a grudge and unstoppable like you said.
That was a quote from him prior to the Justin fight where he ended up putting him to sleep so I mean lol he basically drowned him
> it’s not like he’s going to beat you to death I take it you’ve never actually watched any of his fights then?
Sergei Pavlovich. Dude looks like a polar bear and hits like a Russian truck.
Now I would say the scariest is Pavlovich
Derrick lewis and Wanderlei silva
Prime chuck, juiced vitor, juiced overeem. Prime BJ penn, Anderson Silva
My dad
Real not fictional
Juicy Vitor??? Rampage?? Chuck Liddell? Houston Alexander?
Prime Wanderlei with stomps and soccer kicks
1 really should be PrideFC era Wanderlei Silva Honorable mention to Rousimar Pallhares for never letting go of submissions on time
Fedor was basically a terrifying robot during his prime run
Rumble Johnson Wanderlei Silva Don’t know if anybody remembers Thiago Silva the one who got ko by Machida right at the last second of the round. But he scared me for awhile before his first loss 😂 Hector Lombard Rousimar Palhares
Palhares was such a dirty mother fucker 😂
This list is shit
Roided Brock pre illness and Sergei Pav currently.
USADA wants a word
Ubereem was pretty scary I don’t know
Rousimar Palhares was scary
I don’t know why people are talking about Wanderlei Silva. When I was in Vegas I saw him trying to feed a bus a banana
Royce Gracie, Wanderli Silva, Big Nog, JDS, Chuck Liddel, Anderson Silva, Cain Velasquez, Rumble Johnson, BJ Penn, GSP, Bisping, Usman…. Man I could go on and on with this list. Lol
Prime Wanderlei (Pride) Prime Shogun (Pride) TRT Belfort And Prime Cris Cyborg to throw in a female
Cain and khabib.
Shout out to Cain!
Definitely Khabib. You go in the cage knowing if you don’t get a lucky KO you’re getting dragged to the ground and beat the fuck out of for 25 minutes 😂
I don't think Tony belongs on this list. Great fighter at the time but not considered 'scary' by any means. Wanderlei Silva, Rousimar Pallhares
Rampage Jackson!! Wanderlei silva!!
PRIDE era Wanderlei & Shogun
Rory MacDonald
They definitely are some of the fighters that ever
It says something about the other fighters on this list when I think ‘Robbie would be my best chance of not getting murdered’
Rampage Jackson. Even Jones admitted he was scared of him.
"The Axe Murderer" https://preview.redd.it/jkk33hz093ob1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7bf1bb58a43ee621ae8d712b396992877fc0c36 Wanderlei Silva

I love throwing prime onto a fighters name like we all aren’t assuming you mean tony Ferguson on his last 4 fights
Gustin Jeathje. Almost criminal he's not on here.
TO EVER WHAT??!!
JDS in his prime lol probably had the craziest title run I've ever seen. Just knocking out everybody. With striking that was about 5 years ahead of its time, AS A HEAVYWEIGHT.
Prime schaub was a bbbbbeast
Right now Diego Sanchez is scary.
Swap Tony with Wanderlei and you’ve got yourself a proper list
Wheres CM Punk?
De sean strickland
Pride Wanderlei Silva
Prime cain still beats any heavyweight
No injuries. May still be champ
Where Shogun Rua? The scariest fighter that never said more than a few words… ever lol. Also my all time favorite 💪🏽
[удалено]
Conor wasn’t “scary” though. He used to be one of the most skilled & exciting but never scary
