Although MMA allows strikes with all limbs, having expertise in boxing puts you at a significant advantage among the competition because boxing is so much more than just striking.
Let's look at an unranked list of the 5 best boxers from the UFC. They showcase their boxing skills alongside their MMA prowess, proving that they can excel in the sweet science.
Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal should be on the priority list. He was a spectacular striker who not only knew how to punch but also how to take hits, evade, and defend—all skills of a great boxer.
Retired from the UFC but still continuing his reign in combat sports, Nate Diaz is on a level above. After his retirement from the UFC, Nate is now ready for boxing, as he is going to fight Jake Paul.
Despite some downfalls, Conor McGregor still prefers boxing as his first combat sport. He showed incredible courage and skills against the undefeated GOAT Floyd Mayweather until the 10th round.
Israel Adesanya possesses spectacular boxing skills. He combines strength, perfect striking technique, and unmatched precision to connect significant punches while maintaining distance.
Max Holloway is one of the best boxers in the UFC and MMA in general. His unmatched volume and footwork, along with his ability to be aggressive yet in control, make him a phenomenal boxer.
These UFC fighters demonstrate that they can kill it in boxing with their exceptional boxing skills, technique, and achievements. Whether in the Octagon or the ring, they leave a lasting impact.
