Ranking the top 10 boxers in the UFC

#6. Holly Holm (UFC women's bantamweight)

Holly Holm v Raquel Pennington

Former UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm should be on everybody's list of top boxers in the UFC.

She has held WBC, WBA and IBF world titles in boxing. BoxRec also ranked her in the top 10 list of all-time female boxers. Holm had a boxing record of 33 wins and two losses.

Holly I know you're probably fed up with this crap, but what about you doing a boxing fight?

She is the most decorated UFC fighter on this list to have ever graced the squared circle. She has held titles in both boxing and MMA.

#5. Petr Yan (UFC bantamweight)

UFC 251: Yan v Aldo

It only took Petr Yan two years since his UFC debut to win the bantamweight championship.

I did boxing for 8 years and during that time I’ve beat up as many lanky long dudes as you have hairs on your head curly boy. Use your long arms to stick it up right into your asshole. Your reach will be useful only for that @SugaSeanMMA

The former champ showcased his boxing proficiency on the way to the top. His talents as a boxer culminated in a knockout against Jose Aldo to win the title at UFC 251.

Yan is on another level compared to his fellow bantamweights in terms of striking prowess. He has had four knockouts and three decisions in his career. Yan rarely lets the fight go to the ground and usually punches his way through his opponents.
