UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping knows a thing or two about boxing in MMA fights. It was two hard left hands that earned “The Count” the UFC Middleweight Championship back in 2016 when he knocked out Luke Rockhold. Fast forward seven years later, and Bisping has now rolled out his list of the best boxers in the UFC.
Michael Bisping hopped on his YouTube channel to post a new video where he goes through his list of the best boxers in the UFC today. Let’s take a look at “The Count’s” choices:
Alexander Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski is the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion. He’s beaten Max Holloway three times and is widely considered to be a top pound-for-pound fighter in MMA. It’s no surprise that Bisping started off his list with “The Great.”
Sergei Pavlovich
Rising up the heavyweight ranks is Sergei Pavlovich, who is riding a six-fight winning streak. He has finished all of his opponents via KO or TKO in that span. Simply put, Pavlovich can shut the lights off his foes.
Max Holloway
A fighter who needs no introduction is Max Holloway. The former featherweight king continues to be relevant in MMA despite his losses to Volkanovski. Part of that has to do with the stellar boxing of “Blessed.”
Dustin Poirier
Dustin Poirier is a fan favorite thanks to his exciting fighting style. Key wins over the likes of Conor McGregor have been largely due to his crisp punches. Bisping explained how Poirier’s stands out on his list.
Ilia Topuria
A new challenger has emerged at 145 pounds and his name is Ilia Topuria. The hype train is going strong for Topuria, and Bisping believes it’s for a good reason.
