A. Condit's chin was unbreakable
B. That was the first time Condit flatlined someone like that
Condit is my favorite WW of all time, but in no way did he have more power than Hardy

There needs to be an asterisk by Johnny Hendricks. 70% Johnny is around tier B, but pre USADA 100% Johnny is definitely top tier

How hard you hit is not related to how hard a hit you can take. If it was Overeem would have a great chin.

His standup striking wasn't amazing. But I still credited him in this list for finishing a lot of opponents with ground and pound. Clearly he was a powerful guy.

Hughes and Tito both developed decent striking when they passed their primes but never could hit very hard. Hughes vs Koscheck was an interesting fight, Matt was easily outstriking Kos till Josh realized Hughes couldn't hurt hum and then just ate some strikes to land a bomb.

He hasn't displayed top tier knockout power with his hands yet in the UFC. So far, he got a spinning kick knockout and multiple submissions. He broke Neal with knees and elbows but didn't really demonstrate the KO power of someone like Lawler or even Li Jingliang. So until we see further evidence of his power, he stays in B.

I already said that Hughes gets points for his ability to finish opponents with ground and pound. Which GSP did not display.
Any legitimate objections?
