Are thee any fighters ranked top 10 in their weightclass who can bench press 3 times their bodyweight?
 
Not likely there will be many if any, and it isn't necessary anyway.

This. Strength training is just another part of GPP for a fighter. A fighter trying to get to a 3 x body weight Bench makes as much sense as a Powerlifter training BJJ for hours every day in the run up to a Meet.
 
Wouldn't a 3x bw bench put one in elite PL'er territory(assuming squat/dead proportional to it)? I seriously doubt anyone in combat sports would even bother to try. Maybe Pudz, if he counts.
 
There aren't too many people who have a 3xBW bench, period (especially assuming it's raw). I highly doubt any of this lifters also have the time and energy to be elite MMA fighters.
 
I remember hearing marcus Davis could bench into the 400's which I found pretty impressive for a WW MMA fighter, but a 3x BW bench is pretty incredible. Imagine GSP could bench press 600 pounds, that's pretty insane.
 
the are fighters, not power lifters.
