What time is it better than celebrating the most explosive fighter jets in MMA today, along with Americans from all over the country, who have been fully raised to the Independence Day Fireworks Festival?
MMA Fighting’s Jedmesh and Alexander K. Lee have separated themselves apart in recent years and divide the divisions by department to make their choice for sluggers, who are always one punch from illuminating the cage like July 4th.
Heavyweight
Francis Ngano
Look, I’m embracing the conversation of Tom Aspinel given how he’s recently ran through the heavyweight division, but before they became Tommy Aspinel there was a “predator.” In the PFL, Big Francis’ UFC run saw him almost beheading Alistair’s Overyem, making him the first fighter in history. The man is not just a fireworks, he is Oppenheimer. – mesh
Lightweight heavyweight
Alex Pereira
The main credits have to go to Magom do Ankaraev to avoid the touch of Pereira’s death in the UFC 313 Duel, but even after his defeat, the aura of “Poatan” loomed heavily. Before Ankalaev eliminated Pereira, the former kickboxing star had compiled a knockout hall of fame list in just four years in the promotion. Jiri Prochazuka’s soul-driving finish, Jabi’s glitter shrugged on the fallen hill of Jamahar. Make your choice, there is no wrong answer when it comes to choosing the best example of Pereira’s unrealistic punch power. – Lee
Middle class
Khamzat Chimaev
I’m not rude to middleweight champion Doricus du Plessis, but when I think of a sheer dynamite of 185 pounds, I’ll go with his UFC 319 Challenger.
Chimaev’s run to the top has slowly roared while his run to the top was slower, due to illness, injuries, weight class shenanigans and several close calls on scorecards since he first stepped into the octagon. Chimaev mall The professional fighters turned them into dummy training before tearing the stuffing. And when he doesn’t incorporate men into oblivion, he sometimes decides to decide to KO people for that hell one punch. – Lee
Welterweight
Joaquin Buckley
Remember when Buckley caught his kick on the coolest thing you’ve ever seen?
Do you need to say more? I know it was middleweight, but since falling to 170, “Newmantha” has been more hyper-violent, killing Andre Fialho, Vicente Lux and Stephen Thompson. – mesh
lightweight
Ulli Topuria
Since UFC 317 was concluded, this has been uploaded to the official YouTube page.
Here, everyone, here’s the main event free. That’s how good Topuria’s knockout was, and that’s what the UFC wanted everyone to know about it. This is a man Don’t get messed up at 155 pounds. His work at 145 pounds was not tattered either. Did we say he was the only guy to knock Max Holloway out? And the only guy to beat Alexander Volkanovsky in a featherweight match? Topuria was definitely the best pound pound knockout artist in front Crushing Charles Oliveira. – Lee
Featherweight
Jean Silva

If Topuria is still featherweight, this place will definitely go to him. But in his absence, the “Lord” does his best to pick up the slack. In five UFC matches, he defeated Jansilva with five stops. 4 knockouts and 1 brutal chalkout – and 3 bonuses. Of all the many stars born out of fighting nerds, Silva may be the brightest. – mesh
Bantamweight
Malcolm Well Maker
Speaking of new talent, hello Malcolm’s Wellmaker.
The former pipe fitter wellmaker passes through the “machine,” a comparison between him and bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili. If Dvalishvili is a machine, he is a pneumatic press and slowly kills the enemy. The Wellmaker is a T-800-like machine, an AA man designed to erase opposition with the blink of an eye. Ask Cameron Thurman and Chris Mutinho. – mesh
Flyweight
Manel Cape
All you have to do is look at Manel Cape’s masterpiece against Bruno “The Bulldog” Silva. It’s about fans trying to understand why he’s ultimately hoping to win his flyweight title shot and beat Alexandre Pantoja to get the second crack.
Seriously, it was 2025’s biggest beatdown and gave me an appetizing glimpse of how good “Starboy” is when he clicks all the cylinders. A 125 pound person cannot rival Kape’s flow state magic, and he becomes a threat to everyone being embarrassed on the right night. – Lee
Women’s bantamweight
Amanda Nures
Do I really need to explain this? In addition to being a goat, Nunes holds most knockout records in the history of women in the UFC, and many other records for her celebrity career of brutal banging her opponents. After all, this is the woman who defeated Chris Cyborg within a minute. And soon she comes back with the opportunity to add Kayla Harrison to her hit list. – mesh
Women’s flyweight
Dakota Diccheva
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/26046771/20241129233702_PFL_20241129__JP16477_.jpg)
How do I create this list? Wouldn’t it be possible to include the most exciting fighter jets in female MMA right now?
Once considered it an attractive prospect to protect the PFL, it all came out the window when Ditcheva set the world on fire with a scintillation tournament run last year. “Danger” proved to be exactly that, including four women claiming the PFL flyweight championship in a row, destroying Taela Santos in just two rounds. Everything said, it’s Diccheva’s nine consecutive finishes under the PFL banner, and here’s a quick selection of her. – mesh
Strawweight
Chang Weli
The 115-pound division is not known exactly on the roster of one-hit resigners, but even if that were the case, Zhang would have a strong case of becoming the most dangerous finisher. Her fellow legendary Joanna Jedrzejūczhk’s spinning back faist knockout may be the biggest KO in the history of women’s MMA. – Lee
