From B.J. Penn and Nate Diaz to Rob Font, the top 8 jabbing performances in UFC history

The Top 8 jabbing performances in UFC history

With New England’s Rob Font reminding the masses of the importance of the jab this past Saturday, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to revisit some of mixed martial arts’ most memorable jabbing performances.

There’s obviously no way to include them all, so I limited myself to my favorite fights within the UFC. I suspect my selections still will provide plenty of examples of both practical and tactical executions of the jab. I also elected to rank the following in chronological order to help paint a better picture of the history and growth of jabs in MMA – though I’ll readily admit trying to rank these performances strictly subjectively would still be nightmarish given the wide-ranging context throughout.

Nevertheless, I still encourage you to hit me up on Twitter at @DanTomMMA to let me know about any matchups or hidden gems that I may have missed. In the meantime, I gladly present to you my top 8 jabbing performances in the UFC.
