Alex Pereira recently recorded a score of 191796 on UFC's PowerKube machine with an explosive right hand. While his left hook claims more spotlight, it seems like his other hand was enough to break a record set by Francis Ngannou.
The former promotion heavyweight champion had scored 129,161 units with a single punch back in 2018. His speed was measured at 51,064 foot pounds/per second, which is equivalent to the horsepower of a small hatchback car.

Islam Makhachev retorts at Max Holloway
Max Holloway recently accused Islam Makhachev of cherry-picking his fights, which did not sit well with the lightweight kingpin. 'Blessed' said that Makhachev should have fought Justin Gaethje in February and dismissed his claims about not getting a suitable opponent.
In response, the Dagestani said on X:
"For the record: since 2021 I fought 7 times, while Holloway did 5 fights and Justin just 4. Do your homework before talking trash about your champ. :)"
