25 Best Kickboxers in UFC History (2024)

Alongside Muay Thai, kickboxing has been the most effective martial art for striking in MMA.

In this article, we list the 25 best kickboxers in UFC history, many of whom used their kickboxing skills to win titles and dominate in their division.

Best UFC Kickboxers of All Time

Determining the best UFC kickboxer can be subjective, but this list prioritizes those who have successfully translated their kickboxing prowess into winning MMA/UFC titles or consistently performing at an elite level.

Therefore, a UFC fighter with an impressive kickboxing career but without a UFC title or a top 5 ranking in the UFC will be ranked lower compared to those who have.

Nonetheless, the list also recognizes exceptional kickboxers whose UFC or MMA careers didn’t mirror their kickboxing success.

1. Alex Pereira – ‘Poatan’

Alex Pereira is the most decorated and talented kickboxer in UFC history. He backed up his kickboxing credentials by becoming 1 of 9 UFC fighters to become champion in 2 weight classes.

He also became the first UFC fighter to become champion in the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, a feat he achieved in only 2 years and 5 days after joining the promotion.

He achieved this without any wrestling or jiu-jitsu background, only learning these martial arts as he started MMA in 2021. This is evident in his fighting, where he’s a pure kickboxing maestro with some decent takedown defense.

Before destroying the UFC with his kickboxing skills, Alex Pereira was the first and only (still is) Glory kickboxer to become the middleweight and lightweight champion simultaneously.

His professional kickboxing record stands at 33-7, with 21 wins by knockout. 

His best weapons are his vicious lead left hook from his orthodox stance, and his calf kick as it has zero telegraph. On top of this, he has elite footwork, timing, and distance management – 3 hallmarks of an elite kickboxer.

2. Israel Adesanya – ‘Stylebender’

Israel Adesanya stands as the epitome of technical kickboxing in MMA. He started kickboxing at 18, achieving a perfect 32-0 amateur record and an equally impressive professional kickboxing career with 75 wins and only 5 losses.

His best kickboxing achievement was challenging for the Glory middleweight title, before joining the UFC in 2017 as the AFC champion (MMA). 

He then secured the UFC middleweight championship in less than 2 years and has gone on to defend it 5 times. He also became the first two-time UFC middleweight champion, after he knocked out Alex Pereira to retain it.

Standing at 193 cm with an 80” reach, Adesanya’s striking arsenal is characterized by impeccable timing, speed, precision, creativity, and counterpunching. 

His ability to control the range makes it challenging for opponents to close in, and most are frozen by his skill and unable to execute many successful attacks.

3. Mirko Filipovic – ‘Cro Cop’

Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic is a name synonymous with devastating and technical striking in heavyweight MMA and kickboxing. 

His career, spanning major organizations like UFC, RIZIN, Bellator, and PRIDE, is highlighted by dozens of knockouts and aggressive kickboxing talent.

After transitioning to MMA in 2001, Cro Cop achieved the 2006 Pride Open-Weight Grand Prix Championship and the 2016 Rizin Openweight Grand Prix Championship.
