Is Logan Paul the Hardest Puncher in the UFC?
At Fanatics Fest 2025, Logan Paul made headlines again but this time, it wasn’t for wrestling or boxing. Instead, he stepped up to a UFC-branded punching machine and broke the event’s record by scoring 857, edging past the previous high score of 853. The moment quickly went viral, with fans speculating: could Logan Paul be one of the hardest punchers in UFC circles?
The punching machine challenge, popular at fan events, measures the force and speed of a single strike. While it’s not as scientifically calibrated as tools used at the UFC Performance Institute, it still gives a solid indication of raw punching power. For context, other big names at Fanatics Fest, including UFC fighters and former athletes, gave it their best shot—but none had cracked the previous 853 mark. Logan’s 857 was enough to take the top spot, at least for now.
It’s important to keep in mind that these machines are meant more for entertainment than exact science. Factors like angle, accuracy, and even machine calibration can influence the score. Still, Logan Paul’s ability to walk in and set a new high mark shows he’s got legitimate explosive power—something fans have seen glimpses of in his boxing bouts.

Is he the hardest puncher in the UFC? Not quite. Logan Paul isn’t even signed to the UFC, and there are athletes like Francis Ngannou and Alex Pereira whose real-world knockout records speak louder than machine scores. But Logan Paul setting the record? It’s still a flex—and it definitely grabbed attention.
