With 15 of his 20 wins coming by way of knockout, it would be a tragedy if Stipe Miocic didn't make this list.

Congrats @Tyson_Fury I’d love to sing Sweet Caroline in the ring. Let’s do this.

Stopping names like Daniel Cormier, Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem, to name a few, Stipe Miocic has beaten the best the UFC has to offer.

The former heavyweight champion knows how to close the distance and get his opponents right where he wants them. He then uses his expert precision and power to put them to sleep.

Miocic holds the record for the most wins in title fights at six, most finishes at four, and most title defenses in a row at three, all coming in the heavyweight division.

#7. Nate Diaz (UFC welterweight)

Nate Diaz has often been regarded as one of the top boxers in the UFC for years.

He uses his length to outbox his opponents, and then takes the fight to the ground to display his prowess in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Nate is a high-volume striker, looking to chop his opponents down to size and crack their defense with relentless pressure.

Diaz also has exceptional footwork, which he uses to get the angles he desires. A combination of these factors make the Stockton native one of the best boxers in the UFC.
