Junior dos Santos doesn’t seem to agree with most fans about who the hardest puncher is in the UFC\u2019s heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows a heavyweight fight can end in one punch with all the power they have. For many fans, they view Francis Ngannou as the hardest puncher given all the highlight-reel and one-punch knockouts he has<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, for dos Santos, he says Ngannou does punch hard but isn’t the hardest puncher at heavyweight. Instead, it is the champion, Stipe Miocic and “Cigano” believes Miocic doesn’t get a lot of respect for that.<\/p>\n

[brid autoplay=”true” video=”620147″ player=”20625″ title=”Just Scrap Radio Ep . 6 (w dos Santos O&#39Malley Rozenstruik Vera)” duration=”4491″ description=”In the sixth episode of Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com, host Cole Shelton talks to former UFC heavyweight Junior dos Santos to preview his scrap against Jair…” uploaddate=”2020-08-06 17:49:21″ thumbnailurl=”https:\/\/cdn.brid.tv\/live\/partners\/15717\/thumb\/620147_t_1596736278.png” contentUrl=”https:\/\/cdn.brid.tv\/live\/partners\/15717\/sd\/620147.mp4″”]<\/p>\n

“Well everybody knows that Ngannou hits very hard and has a lot of knockout power. He has long arms but I don\u2019t think so. The hardest hitter I\u2019ve ever been hit from is Stipe Miocic. He hits very hard,” Junior dos Santos said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com<\/a>. “Everybody knows Ngannou has a lot of power and especially when he is able to connect with good punches because of the long arms. In our fight, I paid an expensive price for the mistake I made. I saw the opportunity and threw a very hard overhand right and I missed it and he was able to connect a hook right after that. The guy is a beast as everybody knows but he has a lot of limitations.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Junior dos Santos is looking to snap his two-fight losing streak when he battles Jairiznho Rozenstruik at UFC 252<\/a>. It is a very interesting scrap with both men believing they can get a stoppage win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stipe Miocic, meanwhile, will be headlining the UFC 252 card in his trilogy bout against Daniel Cormier<\/a>. Should he win on Saturday night<\/a> many will view him as the greatest heavyweight of all-time. And, according to dos Santos is also the hardest puncher at heavyweight.<\/p>\n
