A lot of people are getting too tied up in the idea of Jon Jones being in the striker build section of the video. Yes, he’s not ONLY a striker. He has a hybrid style. That’s not the point of the video. He has the epitome of a strikers build. GSP, another hybrid fighter, although mostly a wrestler has the epitome of a wrestlers build. Im just placing them into different categories based on physique alone.
Jon jones is a better wrestler than striker tho he trained greco Roman his whole life and was an all American he didn’t even do any striking until his 20s
Not me thinking this will be a video that was somewhat scientific and an objective analysis on the body types of these athletes, instead I get 13 or so minutes of straight glazing 😂😂😂
I mean to be fair he’s talking about the best of the best in pure physique and mma, would anything other than glazing really be a scientific or objective analysis?
I think the best physique is dependent on how the athlete uses it to their advantage. Jon was a master at using his length while Stephen Struve was getting ko'd by guys much shorter than him.
I understand what you mean, but in a literal sense this is not it. The biggest, widest and heaviest will always to have an advantage against someone smaller, with less wingspan and lighter in a fight, literally always, there are no exceptions (all three things together, not just taller or just heavier for example). But that's just putting it in a hypothetical point of view.
@@1legendarymonsterchallenge634 True but in the end if you have much better timing and reflexes than someone you're eventually gonna win because they can't get a good hit on you
While Daniel Cormier has some extra body fat, he's still stocky as hell and built like a tank. He's definitely got a decent amount of muscle under the fat.
He's strong no doubt but I'm absolutely amazed a man with that physique posseses that cardio. Him and Cain Valasquez some ridiculous cardio for their size 😮
@@robboss853 Hell no, I mean look at what happened when Israel Adesanya KO'd Costa! Seriously it was amazing to see a lanky dude ko a damn bodybuilder 😂
@@dub_h7900 more likely, ego. he showed iron chin against a heavy hitter like Paulo Costa. it's his ego tryna invite his opponent to hit him that leads to him getting ktfo.
End of the day, it just depends on your style. I wrestled at 170 at only 5’6 but with a very stocky build. Short wide legs and very long arms. This build never felt like a disadvantage even though I was going against some tall tall guys and was pretty small in terms of height. So for wrestling I felt like I had the perfect body for 170. For other guys they utilize their body in a different way so any body type can be successful, mine was a blessing at 170
You and I are practically in the same boat I have an upcoming MMA bout at 170 I'm 5'6 I have a very heavy striking style with my grappling more as a defense mechanism but despite my shortness I don't really feel at a disadvantage
I box at cruiser weight and im 5’9 haven’t had an amateur fight yet (trying to get to 175 for an amateur fight) and it’s sometimes difficult to box and sparr with some of the guys at my weight since almost everyone is 6ft and above and for a while I tried to fight like a guy who has a bigger reach lol but now I use my size to my advantage since most guys are used to fighting people of similar size i try to get my opponent to throw long shots and I try to slip get on the inside still working on it I’m no mike Tyson or canelo but still. So it really depends on how you use your size
I find myself in the same area but instead I can lose a lot more weight and possibly go down to 145 and be cut, but rn I'm 160 or 155 and I'm pretty skinny but not cut, and I'm 5'8 and used to weigh 210, still not sure what my weight class would be
For me I'd say Alex Pereira body is very good for striking, his bone structure seems different. It looks like his bone structure is perfect for efficient transfer of power.
What should my fighting style be? I took up wrestling as kid due to my stocky build and massive calves. I also played soccer for almost a decade so my stamina is amazing. Now I’m older and I have slimmed down but still have my stocky build at 6’0. My fingers almost touch my kneecaps, so I may have a 70+ inch reach. I practiced boxing for a bit but my coaches always wanted me to get close so it never suited my body type.

Definitely true for his style of striking he had long limbs wide shoulders and lean with explosive power. Was impossible for anyone to outstrike his prime 145 self

Big boy is what works for me personally. I wrestle at 215lbs in high school right now, and did jiu jitsu for about a year at roughly the same weight. I would say the only thing is that lifting weights definitely has impacted my mobility a little bit, but not really to a noticeable degree
Jon has the striker length at 6'4 with the highest level of wrestling and jiu jitsu skills and a longest reach in ufc history. One of the most gifted athlete of all time
I am a wrestler. I noticed that in all the fights I had as a child I never felt like throwing blows as much as getting to a hand-to-hand fight, even though I was much shorter and thinner than other children in elementary and middle school I always noticed that as far as specific strength and particularly in my legs I have always been stronger than the others. I always lost in arm wrestling but I was able to carry far more weight on my back than my peers could, my grip strength was also superior. my physical frame has always been made up of the lower body being much more developed than the upper body, especially my calves. I also had quite long arms and a squat torso like a brick or a log and not like a triangle. My back has also always been particularly strong. I have been practicing Judo since the tender age of 7 and I have always enjoyed it, I did many competitions at the regional level. Then I dropped out for a transfer and began training in powerlifting and parkour and developed a very robust and compact but at the same time athletic physical shape. This year at the age of 16 I started practicing Sambo and Brazilian Jiu jitsu seriously at a competitive level, I feel great, I am very enthusiastic and my instructors were amazed by my skills after barely a month and a half of training specific. They say I have potential and I hope so. In 8 days I have my first official Sambo tournament, I know that the first few times you almost never win, but I hope to beat someone since I will necessarily have to compete with adults as I now weigh much more than my peers.
Jones is the best example of body-type advantage period. Its like if everyone else were forced to use a sword and only he could use a spear. He definitely is asare of how to use his advantages and has mastery over them. Without this he would be another Gustafson or some other long fighter.
but don't forget he also having a very high fight iq, the best in my opinion. no other fighter has better attacking arsenal than jones. he can attack you using everything. kick, punch,elbow,knee,take down,submission not only decent in doing that but advance level. and dont forget the eye poke
@@Blaze-zt9jz That is largely due to him being able to reach so far wit his elbows and knees. The oblique kick also creates a huge distance. He has a high IQ but his physical advantage allows him to be patient and watchful. He struggles against other big guys. I honestly dont think he would be undefeated without his natural gifts. Still an amazing fighter but also blessed.
He also has a really high arsenal of weapons and a the ability to move very efficiently and minimalistic. I also wouldn't base his success on his long distance. He finished a hell lot of people on the ground were punching distance isn't that important
@@bigmonke2899 thats true its not JUST his reach but his distance control is the basis for his style. It gives him room to act and at the same time frustrate his shorter length opponents. His strongest skill is his wrestling since its what he has practiced the longest but his reach allows him to have the effect of a great striker as well. I don't think he would have the same success if he was your average LHW/HW build. Yesterday I was shook when I saw he was able to grab Gane's wrist while holding his legs down from the back. That is without a doubt freakish reach.
It is beneficial for everyone to be long and lean. The striking advantage is obvious. You can hit guys from farther away, you have the ability to loop punches around defenders blocks from further, you can hit harder at lower weights, and you have your chin further away from your opponents strikes. But to me an even bigger advantage of being long is that you get tremendous leverage for grappling. Even the best grapplers in the world tend to struggle to grapple with long strikers because their length lets them do so much more. You look at guys like Gustafsson, Adesanya,or Wonderboy, who are pure strikers but stopped world class grapplers from getting them down, or even Jon Jones, who was never a world class wrestler, but was able to out grapple everyone in his division because of his incredible length advantage. There is a reason the top guys in almost every division are taller guys who are cutting down to fight at lower weights.
Idk man grapplers have been dominating the sport since it’s entire existence lol the only weight class that benefits being long and lean is middleweight and even then grapplers have dominated that weight class for a long time. There hasn’t been a single pure striker(adesanyas been training with the best bjj artist of all time for 5 years and he’s a black belt) who is a champion but there are several pure grapplers that have been champions such as Brock Lesnar, Daniel Cormier, khabib and Islam, etc. Also saying that Jon jones isn’t a world class wrestler is hilarious lmao he literally competed in one of the highest levels in wrestling. All around the stockier build has dominated the UFC.
@@Boogieman618 fr, a stocky build has always been dominating the game. ONE alien in Jon Jones for being that long and that crazy strong, it’s just him. Guys that has similar physique to Jon always get beat up by body similar to that or DC, Fedor, ect
These are a things of the recent past, in my opinion. Look at Makhachev, du Plessis, Topuria. Jones is a fossil that never fights anymore, so count him out. Pereira exactly fits the mold you described, that I agree with. But Adesanya is one the way down, as are Gustaffson and Wonderboy, hell even Edwards can lose to Muhammad if they ever actually fight again :D around 2016-17, the meta wa slong lanky dudes, but Khabib and DC changed it somewhat. Further back in the day? Fedor Emilianenko, I'll say no more. Almost every single opponent he faced on the way up was taller, lankier and more toned and he smashed them all.
What should my fighting style be? I took up wrestling as kid due to my stocky build and massive calves. I also played soccer for almost a decade so my stamina is amazing. Now I’m older and I have slimmed down but still have my stocky build at 6’0. My fingers almost touch my kneecaps, so I may have a 70+ inch reach. I practiced boxing for a bit but my coaches always wanted me to get close so it never suited my body type.
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 I'm no expert so I can't really help you, my best advice is to try going to an mma gym near you and ask those training you what is best fit. Often stockier, long guys are better strikers but it is entirely dependent on the person practicing.
One thing to note about great strikers: They also usually have insane reflexes, which also end up being their downfall once they start aging. The most obvious example is Silva and the infamous clip of him getting caught while trying to lean back.
There’s great fighters with every body type. It’s just knowing how to use your physical gifts, and minimize your weaknesses. Generally speaking though shorter stockier guys tend to prefer boxing and wrestling. Whereas longer guys prefer kicking and bjj. There’s exceptions though
Jones’ long limbs are what seem to be the best physical advantage. He can move quick on his feet due to the leaner muscle, his tall and long limbs make it harder for fighters to control him on the ground, and the skinnier limbs don’t tire out as quickly. After a few rounds of wrestling, the fighters bodies are full of blood. Heavier arms means more weight to hold up to protect yourself and more weight and torque for effective punches. Those heavy arms work against the fighter who’s exhausted
none of the long limbs fighters are nearly as strong or as quick as he did. When a lanky fighter came on, all you get from them are reach advantage and they’re always athletic inferior to their opponents, that’s not Jon. Jon is strong enough to outwrestled DC in MMA, and nobody does that to DC outside of Jon and Stipe. Jon is an anomaly to lanky guys, so is GSP to a lesser extent
I agree. What type would you put Fedor Emilianenko in? I would love for you to watch his fights and do some content on him. He's one guy that just by simply watching I think he could still hang with today's heavyweights. Super skillful, tough and deceptively athletic. Idk what category he'd fit into here though.
Dude if you could rewind Fedor back to his 2008 self he would doninate the HW division today the same way he did before. He wasnt 10/10 in every aspect but the way he mixed striking power, grappling skill and insane ability to absorb punishment jut has never been seen before or since. Not Ngannou nor DC nor Stipe nor JJ has that level of ability.
Big boys And if fedor had not lost to werdum i would agree with you. But ever since that fight he lost his confidence and started losing to ppl he would NEVER lose to.
I'm 6'5, I got the flabby chest and belly of a big boy but my arms legs and shoulders are pretty muscular. I was almost 400 pounds before, currently I dropped down to 280, my goal is like 245-265 since I'm naturally large, I was just too big at one point
Jon Jones and Alex Pereira have the best physique for fighting in my opinion as Jon is tall and good at wrestling and I think hes a master at BJJ too (Alex cold learn to be the same as they sort of have a similar physique).
they're not talking about aesthicly or for bodybuilding. I'd pick jon jone and whittaker. both dont carry to much muscle, and are insanely fast and flexible.
There is no “perfect body type for fighting”. It’s about having perfectly matched style to go with your body type. That’s why “styles make fights” not “body types make fights”. That’s also why there are many champions that have much different body types, because they have the style that matches their body type.
People sleep on the khabib, islam, gathje build, short arms and legs allows for larger back and torso. Also with having proportionally large upper body it lets them be hella strong. Even on the feet they hit pretty hard.
Guys im tall and lean 187cm 78kg (6’2 172lbs) so i guess id be a striker but the thing is my reach is only 187cm (74inches) which is short compared to other strikers So ideally should i gain a lot of weight and get buffer to become a wrestler so my reach doesn’t metter that much ?
@@themightythundersploosh7493 his cardio wasn’t amazing cuz the man fought into his 40s but if u consider his cardio for his age and weight it’s extremely impressive if he got into ufc when he was in 20s his cardio would have been a different breed
Look how’s he eaten massive kicks and not been koed ragdolled people as if they weren’t in his weight class. Not to mention that if u look at the Whittaker interview after fighting him he said that he sustained multiple injuries from HITTING Yoel
@@diegooatway7972 thats because he has large metal plates in his neck area. He has no neck essentially so he can absorb strikes far better but at the cost of his wrestling
i walk and compete at a good 136-140lbs, standing at 5’10. im definitely on the leaner side of the scale, but it really works out on the floor (jiu-jitsu, wrestling etc.). my length/reach helps me out on the feet, and gives me opportunity to control distance. that being said, my strength/power is probably my biggest disadvantage on the mat, which is something im working on bringing up. ive seen all different shapes and sizes of competitors, but it all comes down to how much you/they know. ive taken down grown ass men at 6’2+/180+ pounds, and have been cut down by men & *women* 5’4 and below.
Imo Alex Pereira looks like he was handcrafted by God to be a striker. The leverage he gains because of his build, it’s like his muscles are built to just explode.
Enjoyed the video bro, pretty decent information/clips, however I think you have probably could have made the video quite a bit shorter, as a lot of the information is outstretched over long periods of time. Otherwise good informative video 👍🏻
I’d say the best build are those like Izzy adesanya and Alex Pereira, skinny but buff at the same time, wiry guys. They are slim and their arms are skinny, but they are so powerful that the slimness of their arms compliments the strike, like getting hit with a spear. We need to see more of Alex pereira to know, and observe when he moves up weight, but so far his body type seems extremely adequate when it comes to striking. Of course I don’t know if this comes down solely to his body shape but probably on a more complex level like his muscle type and his muscle fibers, but him and Adesanya are very explosive but also have a lot of endurance, truly best of both worlds.
results point at the likely fact that the best type of body is a wrestler's body. Grapplers > Strikers in MMA & the less rules there are the Grappler just gets stronger in all honesty, lots of dangerous things one can do up close just like when Mike bit that ear, thats grappling range.
I haven't fought since I was probably 10 years old at Tae Kwon Do, but at 32 now, I've been getting more serious about exercise again. It's just treadmill and shadow boxing currently, but the striker physique naturally fits what I wanna build
I am a bona fide big boy. I wrestled 285 and am 5'8, I am a nikyu in judo and training in kyokushin as well. I had one fight and lost because my opponent did a Brazilian tap after I hit a front face lock and kneed me in the liver after I let go. I ain't making that mistake again.
Bro what is this guy talkinga about Ju - Jitsu is not good for self defense because you dont want to fall to the ground and fight from there, and is focused a lot on dominating and submissions, and bowing just depends on the gym, not to make any assumptions but i bet you have never done any type of Ju - Jitsu. And people you show here like Khabib arnt wrestlers but instead do Sambo. And as for "the grind" becoming a Ju - Jitsu black belt takes up to 10 - 15 years and thats if your really consisten and constantly improving. I have dont wrestling before and it is also very respected and difficult but Ju Jitsu isnt as easy as its made to seem
Putting fighters into weight only classes is ridiculous. The classes should have similar like body types and weight included in the fighter class. There are dozen of lanky tall fighters who on average have done better then the shorter fighter with less reach. W So why doesn't ufc put new fighter classes in . A heavyweight class should have unlimited reach and height but anything under like lightheavyweight should put height and reach into account as it is a massive advantage. Jon jones with his heavyweight like reach and height should never fight in anything but heavyweight.its a joke how these fighters use their massive advantages in Rea h and height to fight smaller men
I always thought tall was best because of reach but I think Volk's body type is a hack. The awkwardness of a short fighter with the reach of a tall one.
I think your body type should affect the way you approach fighting and vise versa as well. I’m 6’1 145 lbs been training at my local MMA gym for around 5 months and I recognize that the best skills for me to learn and drill a bunch on the feet and ground are rangy ones that are best executed if you have length/arm length advantages (ex: push kicks, body kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks, Darce/anaconda chokes, guilliotines, get ups from guard/mount, etc)
@@googlegmail9888 that’s good advice although I plan on competing at 135 in the next year and a half - two years. I want to be different than anyone else I’m fighting and I want my skill set to compliment my different advantages. Trust me though I spend a fucking lot of time on my back / on the wall trying to make up for the obvious disadvantages of having the frame I have
Body type is second to musclefibre type. Whether you have slow or fast twitch fibres, that's what going to determine how you should fight. If you're slow twitch, you are less likely to tire yourself out in extended engagements, whether it be grappling or striking. Fast twitch guys like McGregor should and will try to finish you early, or they will most likely be at a disadvantage, should the fight last too long. Cardio is major factor, sure, but it mostly depends on how much energy you have to expend to fight in your preferred manner, which will ultimately depend on your fibre composition.
The title doesnt seem to match the video to me tho, all I'm hearing is how these guys trained a f*k load and grew up in tough envirronments. Stopped watching halfway bc of this
My thoughts are don’t be to shredded you lose strength but then don’t be carrying weight just to add power when there’s someone who’s build got that weight class naturally. I used cut into a lower class as I could weigh in 165lbs but then actually be 185lbs on the day with unnecessary fat on me but not so peeled it effected performance. That’s just how I reacted to water and carbs
weight does not add power, power is not strength. Strength is the maximum force and power is work within time, in other words power allows one to do more faster.
@@portalsevil you’re correct about speed but you take 2 people build the same - same genetics same training same everything accept one is 160lbs - one is 200lbs The heavier person will hit harder due to mass x force of the hit that’s why they have weight classes
@@LegendaryBeanie heavier person harder and is harder to knock out Lighter person is harder to hit and has better footwork which is they key behind success in a fight

Holy crap! I have never had anyone explain MY style to me better than you did! I did TKD and Karate in my youth, followed by boxing and Muay Thai in my late twenties; I have a 74 inch reach at only 5'9, and I'm very elusive on the feet. But..... I'm also quite short for my weightclass (I compete at welterweight), I have lots of muscle and strength from competing in Olympic Weightlifting for 5 years during my early twenties, and despite not having a wrestling background I have very good blast double and body lock takedowns, as well as good takedown defense (mostly due to strength and natural athleticism). I'm perfectly a "Hybrid" as you called me. I think that's why I always identified with Robert Whitaker and Dustin Poirier the most. Too short and heavy to be a pure striker. Not high enough grappling pedigree to be a good wrestler. Just a jack of all trades Hybrid. I like it.
this guy just said "in jiu jitsu your taught to sit criss cross apple sauce and bow to your instructor while they teach the class" Yikes. Try jiu jitsu before you say dumb shit about it.
Big boys actually have the stamina advantage, ikr right? If you’re too muscular you’ll get tired way quicker since your muscles need oxygen. I’d say hybrid with more wrestling is the best bc like you said they keep assuming youre taking them down.
Jon Jones definitely has the best physique . He is tall Lanky but very strong, He can strike better than most strikers in the division but he also has the best wrestling to offer. But imo my dream fighting physique is Dan Henderson, A wrestling physique with an iron chin, makes for a very formidable and tough fighter imo
he has powerlifter stats too. I think jon jones is a powerlifter in disguise, doing MMA lol. I seen guys built like him in powerlifter gyms, so lanky, u wouldnt think they can lift that heavy
At their natural weight without the weight cuts, that's also the healthiest physique. Cardio for the heart health, decent amount of weight training for joints and bone density. Guys like Poatan, Jiri or LHW Jones can be profficient at basically every physical activity.
I used to be a Big Boy at 6'1", 360 pounds, unable to overhead press an empty barbell. No joke, I had to use the ladies' bar when I first started. Now I'm a Big Guy at 6'1", 308, strict pressing the big wheels. And I'm very fortunate to go to a jiu-jitsu school that doesn't bow and includes elements of everything from wrestling to Sambo.

End of the day, it just depends on your style. I wrestled at 170 at only 5’6 but with a very stocky build. Short wide legs and very long arms. This build never felt like a disadvantage even though I was going against some tall tall guys and was pretty small in terms of height. So for wrestling I felt like I had the perfect body for 170.

I find myself in the same area but instead I can lose a lot more weight and possibly go down to 145 and be cut, but rn I'm 160 or 155 and I'm pretty skinny but not cut, and I'm 5'8 and used to weigh 210, still not sure what my weight class would be
You don't have long arms your 5.6
For me I'd say Alex Pereira body is very good for striking, his bone structure seems different. It looks like his bone structure is perfect for efficient transfer of power.

I am a wrestler. I noticed that in all the fights I had as a child I never felt like throwing blows as much as getting to a hand-to-hand fight, even though I was much shorter and thinner than other children in elementary and middle school I always noticed that as far as specific strength and particularly in my legs I have always been stronger than the others. I always lost in arm wrestling but I was able to carry far more weight on my back than my peers could, my grip strength was also superior. my physical frame has always been made up of the lower body being much more developed than the upper body, especially my calves. I also had quite long arms and a squat torso like a brick or a log and not like a triangle. My back has also always been particularly strong. I have been practicing Judo since the tender age of 7 and I have always enjoyed it, I did many competitions at the regional level. Then I dropped out for a transfer and began training in powerlifting and parkour and developed a very robust and compact but at the same time athletic physical shape. This year at the age of 16 I started practicing Sambo and Brazilian Jiu jitsu seriously at a competitive level, I feel great, I am very enthusiastic and my instructors were amazed by my skills after barely a month and a half of training specific. They say I have potential and I hope so. In 8 days I have my first official Sambo tournament, I know that the first few times you almost never win, but I hope to beat someone since I will necessarily have to compete with adults as I now weigh much more than my peers.

Jones is the best example of body-type advantage period. Its like if everyone else were forced to use a sword and only he could use a spear. He definitely is asare of how to use his advantages and has mastery over them. Without this he would be another Gustafson or some other long fighter.
but don't forget he also having a very high fight iq, the best in my opinion. no other fighter has better attacking arsenal than jones. he can attack you using everything. kick, punch,elbow,knee,take down,submission not only decent in doing that but advance level. and dont forget the eye poke
@@Blaze-zt9jz That is largely due to him being able to reach so far wit his elbows and knees. The oblique kick also creates a huge distance. He has a high IQ but his physical advantage allows him to be patient and watchful. He struggles against other big guys. I honestly dont think he would be undefeated without his natural gifts. Still an amazing fighter but also blessed.
@@Blaze-zt9jz he was losing to Machida in stand up, he used his iq and Wrestling to turn things.
He also has a really high arsenal of weapons and a the ability to move very efficiently and minimalistic.
I also wouldn't base his success on his long distance. He finished a hell lot of people on the ground were punching distance isn't that important
@@bigmonke2899 thats true its not JUST his reach but his distance control is the basis for his style. It gives him room to act and at the same time frustrate his shorter length opponents. His strongest skill is his wrestling since its what he has practiced the longest but his reach allows him to have the effect of a great striker as well. I don't think he would have the same success if he was your average LHW/HW build. Yesterday I was shook when I saw he was able to grab Gane's wrist while holding his legs down from the back. That is without a doubt freakish reach.
It is beneficial for everyone to be long and lean. The striking advantage is obvious. You can hit guys from farther away, you have the ability to loop punches around defenders blocks from further, you can hit harder at lower weights, and you have your chin further away from your opponents strikes. But to me an even bigger advantage of being long is that you get tremendous leverage for grappling. Even the best grapplers in the world tend to struggle to grapple with long strikers because their length lets them do so much more. You look at guys like Gustafsson, Adesanya,or Wonderboy, who are pure strikers but stopped world class grapplers from getting them down, or even Jon Jones, who was never a world class wrestler, but was able to out grapple everyone in his division because of his incredible length advantage. There is a reason the top guys in almost every division are taller guys who are cutting down to fight at lower weights.
Idk man grapplers have been dominating the sport since it’s entire existence lol the only weight class that benefits being long and lean is middleweight and even then grapplers have dominated that weight class for a long time. There hasn’t been a single pure striker(adesanyas been training with the best bjj artist of all time for 5 years and he’s a black belt) who is a champion but there are several pure grapplers that have been champions such as Brock Lesnar, Daniel Cormier, khabib and Islam, etc. Also saying that Jon jones isn’t a world class wrestler is hilarious lmao he literally competed in one of the highest levels in wrestling. All around the stockier build has dominated the UFC.
@@Boogieman618 fr, a stocky build has always been dominating the game. ONE alien in Jon Jones for being that long and that crazy strong, it’s just him. Guys that has similar physique to Jon always get beat up by body similar to that or DC, Fedor, ect
you can say that for any build. "Everyone could benefit from putting on some muscle"
These are a things of the recent past, in my opinion. Look at Makhachev, du Plessis, Topuria. Jones is a fossil that never fights anymore, so count him out. Pereira exactly fits the mold you described, that I agree with. But Adesanya is one the way down, as are Gustaffson and Wonderboy, hell even Edwards can lose to Muhammad if they ever actually fight again :D around 2016-17, the meta wa slong lanky dudes, but Khabib and DC changed it somewhat. Further back in the day? Fedor Emilianenko, I'll say no more. Almost every single opponent he faced on the way up was taller, lankier and more toned and he smashed them all.

@@olafharoldsonnii4713 I'm no expert so I can't really help you, my best advice is to try going to an mma gym near you and ask those training you what is best fit. Often stockier, long guys are better strikers but it is entirely dependent on the person practicing.
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 you go just gotta be honest with your strength and weakness and chose to work on your strength
One thing to note about great strikers: They also usually have insane reflexes, which also end up being their downfall once they start aging. The most obvious example is Silva and the infamous clip of him getting caught while trying to lean back.
Wrestlers definitely got the look for me. It's like a bodybuilder that can fight

There’s great fighters with every body type. It’s just knowing how to use your physical gifts, and minimize your weaknesses. Generally speaking though shorter stockier guys tend to prefer boxing and wrestling. Whereas longer guys prefer kicking and bjj. There’s exceptions though
Yes, you are right. Except with one point. It's "There are" when you use plural form and not "There's"
@@fightsmack3140 you’re not helping by pointing that out unless you fully explain the reasoning of your correction
@@fightsmack3140 It's true, but you're being unnecessarily petty just to fatten your ego.
Jones’ long limbs are what seem to be the best physical advantage. He can move quick on his feet due to the leaner muscle, his tall and long limbs make it harder for fighters to control him on the ground, and the skinnier limbs don’t tire out as quickly. After a few rounds of wrestling, the fighters bodies are full of blood. Heavier arms means more weight to hold up to protect yourself and more weight and torque for effective punches. Those heavy arms work against the fighter who’s exhausted
none of the long limbs fighters are nearly as strong or as quick as he did. When a lanky fighter came on, all you get from them are reach advantage and they’re always athletic inferior to their opponents, that’s not Jon. Jon is strong enough to outwrestled DC in MMA, and nobody does that to DC outside of Jon and Stipe. Jon is an anomaly to lanky guys, so is GSP to a lesser extent
I agree. What type would you put Fedor Emilianenko in? I would love for you to watch his fights and do some content on him. He's one guy that just by simply watching I think he could still hang with today's heavyweights. Super skillful, tough and deceptively athletic. Idk what category he'd fit into here though.
Id say big boi, hes like a taller cormier build wise
Dude if you could rewind Fedor back to his 2008 self he would doninate the HW division today the same way he did before. He wasnt 10/10 in every aspect but the way he mixed striking power, grappling skill and insane ability to absorb punishment jut has never been seen before or since. Not Ngannou nor DC nor Stipe nor JJ has that level of ability.

Bro is taking the biggest breaks between sentences and words. I have to play this in 1.5 speed
People sleep on the khabib, islam, gathje build, short arms and legs allows for larger back and torso. Also with having proportionally large upper body it lets them be hella strong. Even on the feet they hit pretty hard.
Guys im tall and lean 187cm 78kg (6’2 172lbs) so i guess id be a striker but the thing is my reach is only 187cm (74inches) which is short compared to other strikers
So ideally should i gain a lot of weight and get buffer to become a wrestler so my reach doesn’t metter that much ?
Yoel romero has the beat physique for fighting hands down it’s a surprising no one has mentioned him
Probs cuz he has hard time making 185 missing weight
One word. Cardio
@@themightythundersploosh7493 his cardio wasn’t amazing cuz the man fought into his 40s but if u consider his cardio for his age and weight it’s extremely impressive if he got into ufc when he was in 20s his cardio would have been a different breed

@@diegooatway7972 thats because he has large metal plates in his neck area. He has no neck essentially so he can absorb strikes far better but at the cost of his wrestling
i walk and compete at a good 136-140lbs, standing at 5’10. im definitely on the leaner side of the scale, but it really works out on the floor (jiu-jitsu, wrestling etc.). my length/reach helps me out on the feet, and gives me opportunity to control distance.
that being said, my strength/power is probably my biggest disadvantage on the mat, which is something im working on bringing up.
ive seen all different shapes and sizes of competitors, but it all comes down to how much you/they know. ive taken down grown ass men at 6’2+/180+ pounds, and have been cut down by men & *women* 5’4 and below.
You’re gonna have to gain some weight to get stronger brother. Try to get to at least 170, while lifting weights.
Imo Alex Pereira looks like he was handcrafted by God to be a striker. The leverage he gains because of his build, it’s like his muscles are built to just explode.
Enjoyed the video bro, pretty decent information/clips, however I think you have probably could have made the video quite a bit shorter, as a lot of the information is outstretched over long periods of time. Otherwise good informative video 👍🏻
I’d say the best build are those like Izzy adesanya and Alex Pereira, skinny but buff at the same time, wiry guys. They are slim and their arms are skinny, but they are so powerful that the slimness of their arms compliments the strike, like getting hit with a spear. We need to see more of Alex pereira to know, and observe when he moves up weight, but so far his body type seems extremely adequate when it comes to striking. Of course I don’t know if this comes down solely to his body shape but probably on a more complex level like his muscle type and his muscle fibers, but him and Adesanya are very explosive but also have a lot of endurance, truly best of both worlds.
And this is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique of all time
I love being a wrestler I feel like we get such high prise. But I want to do boxing cause my strinking game is embarrassing.
For MMA heavyweight is the best, because it is best also for the fight in general ... you are in fighting shape and big at the same time.
I’m 6”0 tall I’m definitely a hybrid ., not muscled but ripped and I have pretty long arms
"Embrace the grind"

results point at the likely fact that the best type of body is a wrestler's body. Grapplers > Strikers in MMA & the less rules there are the Grappler just gets stronger in all honesty, lots of dangerous things one can do up close just like when Mike bit that ear, thats grappling range.
I haven't fought since I was probably 10 years old at Tae Kwon Do, but at 32 now, I've been getting more serious about exercise again. It's just treadmill and shadow boxing currently, but the striker physique naturally fits what I wanna build

Bro what is this guy talkinga about Ju - Jitsu is not good for self defense because you dont want to fall to the ground and fight from there, and is focused a lot on dominating and submissions, and bowing just depends on the gym, not to make any assumptions but i bet you have never done any type of Ju - Jitsu. And people you show here like Khabib arnt wrestlers but instead do Sambo. And as for "the grind" becoming a Ju - Jitsu black belt takes up to 10 - 15 years and thats if your really consisten and constantly improving.

Putting fighters into weight only classes is ridiculous. The classes should have similar like body types and weight included in the fighter class. There are dozen of lanky tall fighters who on average have done better then the shorter fighter with less reach. W
So why doesn't ufc put new fighter classes in . A heavyweight class should have unlimited reach and height but anything under like lightheavyweight should put height and reach into account as it is a massive advantage. Jon jones with his heavyweight like reach and height should never fight in anything but heavyweight.its a joke how these fighters use their massive advantages in Rea h and height to fight smaller men
The way this man talks about mma is beautiful you can tell he love combat so much it’s something amazing
I always thought tall was best because of reach but I think Volk's body type is a hack. The awkwardness of a short fighter with the reach of a tall one.
I think your body type should affect the way you approach fighting and vise versa as well. I’m 6’1 145 lbs been training at my local MMA gym for around 5 months and I recognize that the best skills for me to learn and drill a bunch on the feet and ground are rangy ones that are best executed if you have length/arm length advantages (ex: push kicks, body kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks, Darce/anaconda chokes, guilliotines, get ups from guard/mount, etc)

Body type is second to musclefibre type. Whether you have slow or fast twitch fibres, that's what going to determine how you should fight. If you're slow twitch, you are less likely to tire yourself out in extended engagements, whether it be grappling or striking. Fast twitch guys like McGregor should and will try to finish you early, or they will most likely be at a disadvantage, should the fight last too long. Cardio is major factor, sure, but it mostly depends on how much energy you have to expend to fight in your preferred manner, which will ultimately depend on your fibre composition.
The title doesnt seem to match the video to me tho, all I'm hearing is how these guys trained a f*k load and grew up in tough envirronments. Stopped watching halfway bc of this
My thoughts are don’t be to shredded you lose strength but then don’t be carrying weight just to add power when there’s someone who’s build got that weight class naturally. I used cut into a lower class as I could weigh in 165lbs but then actually be 185lbs on the day with unnecessary fat on me but not so peeled it effected performance. That’s just how I reacted to water and carbs
weight does not add power, power is not strength. Strength is the maximum force and power is work within time, in other words power allows one to do more faster.

I did TKD and Karate in my youth, followed by boxing and Muay Thai in my late twenties; I have a 74 inch reach at only 5'9, and I'm very elusive on the feet. But..... I'm also quite short for my weightclass (I compete at welterweight), I have lots of muscle and strength from competing in Olympic Weightlifting for 5 years during my early twenties, and despite not having a wrestling background I have very good blast double and body lock takedowns, as well as good takedown defense (mostly due to strength and natural athleticism). I'm perfectly a "Hybrid" as you called me. I think that's why I always identified with Robert Whitaker and Dustin Poirier the most.
Too short and heavy to be a pure striker. Not high enough grappling pedigree to be a good wrestler. Just a jack of all trades Hybrid. I like it.
A jiu jitsu fighter beats a wrestler all day.
Jon Jones has the perfect physique for fighting. Muscular at the right places but not too jacked so he's still agile and fast af
yeah. i think joe said that
And imagine having a 7ft wingspan as a LHW
this guy just said "in jiu jitsu your taught to sit criss cross apple sauce and bow to your instructor while they teach the class"
Yikes. Try jiu jitsu before you say dumb shit about it.
Jon is a great example of the hybrid, NJCAA wrestling champion with excellent striking.
Big boys actually have the stamina advantage, ikr right? If you’re too muscular you’ll get tired way quicker since your muscles need oxygen. I’d say hybrid with more wrestling is the best bc like you said they keep assuming youre taking them down.
Jon Jones definitely has the best physique . He is tall Lanky but very strong, He can strike better than most strikers in the division but he also has the best wrestling to offer. But imo my dream fighting physique is Dan Henderson, A wrestling physique with an iron chin, makes for a very formidable and tough fighter imo
he has powerlifter stats too. I think jon jones is a powerlifter in disguise, doing MMA lol. I seen guys built like him in powerlifter gyms, so lanky, u wouldnt think they can lift that heavy
Jon Jones’ physique is by far the most suitable for fighting in my opinion
I'd say that Izzy/Pereira type body, good reach, long limbs for the ground, can carry good muscle.
Same with jones
At their natural weight without the weight cuts, that's also the healthiest physique. Cardio for the heart health, decent amount of weight training for joints and bone density. Guys like Poatan, Jiri or LHW Jones can be profficient at basically every physical activity.
