In the world of UFC, where the strongest and toughest fighters meet, one question always arises: who hits the hardest? And the answer comes from one of the best fighters in the organization’s history, Brazilian Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira, who has faced the hardest punches from some of the top competitors.
Throughout his career, Oliveira has fought against some of UFC’s biggest names, such as Michael Chandler, Max Holloway, and Dustin Poirier. With each battle, Oliveira has built a reputation as a tough and resilient fighter. He has proven time and again his ability to withstand the most powerful strikes.
During a Q&A session at UFC 312, Oliveira revealed which fighter, according to him, hits the hardest in the organization.
Charles Oliveira: “I hit the hardest!”
In a bold statement, Oliveira discussed his legendary fight with Justin Gaethje, saying, “Before my fight with Gaethje, people told me that he was the one who hits hardest. But when I hit him, he went down. So, I can say without hesitation, the guy who hits hardest is me!”
Charles Oliveira, who has secured many victories with his varied techniques and ability to control the fight, also mentioned that during his bout with Gaethje, which ended with a submission victory, he had managed to drop his opponent with the power of his punches.
Names like Alex Pereira or Ilia Topuria might come to mind as powerful hitters in the UFC. But for Oliveira, who has experience in facing top-tier opponents, he seems to view himself as the hardest hitter in this regard.
Conclusion: While the UFC is full of fighters with powerful strikes, Charles Oliveira believes that he holds the title when it comes to strength and impact.
