After Showing Daniel Cormier ‘Unreal’ Strength, Alex Pereira Breaks His & Michael Bisping’s Punching Record Before UFC 283
Follow Us
Alex Pereira is undoubtedly one of the, if not the scariest fighter in the UFC currently. From earning a title shot in less than two years to beating his long-time rival and dominant champion Israel Adesanya, the Brazilian has proved himself to be one of the best athletes in the organization. While Pereira continues his amazing run, a clip of him hitting a punching machine has left fans shocked, yet again. Interestingly, it was not his legendary left hook, but it was a straight right that set an unofficial record.

With a staggering score of 969, it looked like Pereira had broken the previous best of Daniel Cormier.

DC had set a record of 966 on the sets of the UFC Fox studio a few years back. What’s interesting is that coincidentally Cormier had recently talked about how unreally strong Pereira was when he got the chance to wrestle the Brazilian backstage.

While Pereira seems to hold the unofficial record of the hardest punch; what’s surprising is that UFC veterans landed many of the hardest punches. Former Welterweight and Middleweight champions Tyron Woodley and Michael Bisping respectively have a record of 944 and 942. But it was Pat Barry who had a higher power than the two, with a score of 965. Brian Ortega also has a respectable tally of 942 as well.
