"Ngannou uppercutting Overeem," "Usman's Falcon punch on Masvidal" - Fans throw in a plethora of instances as they pick the most beautiful strike of all time in the UFC

Over the years, the UFC has seen a multitude of special fights marked by some of the most beautiful and vicious strikes of all time.

Fans on Reddit listed their favorite strikes ever thrown in the octagon in response to a post.

"What's the most beautiful single strike of all time?"

It would only be fair to kick off the list with the world's hardest puncher and heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Ngannou rocked Alistair Overeem in the very first round of their bout in December 2017 to secure a sixth consecutive finish in the octagon.

Two titles will be on the line at UFC 284

The UFC has announced that the lightweight and interim featherweight championships will be at stake in their upcoming UFC 284 card being held in Perth, Australia.

The main event will be fought between the local boy and pound-for-pound king Alexander Volkanovski and newly crowned lightweight champ Islam Makhachev. The two cut a respectful promo after Makhachev's title victory over Charles Oliveira and agreed that the top pound-for-pound spot and lightweight belt would be on the line in their matchup.

Volkanovski's current belt, the featherweight title, will have its interim version up for grabs between two consistent performers at 145 pounds. No.2-ranked contender Yair Rodriguez gets a deserving crack at gold against Josh Emmett, who is on a six-fight win streak, in the co-main event of UFC 284.
