He is a volume puncher in a league of his own. He is the UFC's record-holder for the most significant punches landed at 2,618, miles away from second-placed Joanna Jedrzejczyk's 1,711.

His footwork is phenomenal, and he knows how to keep an aggressive pace while maintaining control of the fight. His expertise was on full display against Calvin Kattar. Holloway landed 445 significant strikes in that fight.

#1. Dustin Poirier (UFC lightweight)

UFC 242 Khabib v Poirier

Dustin 'The Diamond' Poirier outclasses his opponents with his skills as a boxer. His sheer volume, power and technique make him one of the biggest knockout artists in the UFC.

He has knocked out elite strikers, such as Justin Gaethje and Conor McGregor. His only recent loss came against undefeated retired champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, where the Russian took Poirier to the ground for a submission win.

There is not much Poirier can't do with his knowledge as a boxer. 'The Diamond' combines his fight-ending power with excellent technique and defense. His relentless pressure courtesy of supreme cardio makes Dustin Poirier the best and most complete boxer in the UFC.
