Best UFC 5 Fighters For Beginners

Stipe Miocic

Fighting Style: Boxer

Out of the 20 fighters who’ve become the UFC heavyweight champion at some point, most found it tough to keep the title and defend it successfully. Even famous fighters like Randy Couture and Cain Velasquez could only defend the title a couple of times before losing it.

That’s why Stipe Miocic stands out as the best heavyweight in UFC history. He held the title twice between 2016 and 2021 and successfully defended it four times, a record. He’s mainly a boxer and excels in accuracy, dodging punches, speed, and power. He also moves well on his feet and is good at stopping takedowns. He was a skilled wrestler in college, so he can hold his own in grappling situations, and he’s solid on the ground.

Miocic has great stamina, and he can take hits to his head, body, and legs without going down easily. He recovers quickly from damage. His quick jabs to the head and body can really hurt his opponents, and he’s fantastic at putting together boxing combinations.

Jon Jones

Fighting style: Muay Thai

Jones became the top fighter by winning the heavyweight championship against Ciryl Gane. He showed he could do well in the big fighters’ division. Except for a disqualification because of illegal moves, he hasn’t lost in MMA. He’s good at many things in fighting, like quick punches, strongholds, and takedowns. He was great in the light heavyweight division, and now he’s got a title in the heavyweight one, so he’s in both in UFC 5.

Stephen Thompson is a really great fighter in MMA, especially when it comes to striking. He was an undefeated kickboxer before he started doing mixed martial arts.

He’s really fast, accurate, and has long arms. He’s also really good at kicking. He can fight from different stances and has a special move called “Laser Focus” that lets him throw powerful punches.

He’s got a background in Taekwondo, which is a type of martial art, and he’s really good at kickboxing.
