John Dodson is one of the hardest punchers in MMA today.
Even within a diminutive 5-foot-3 frame, “The Magician” packs the sort of wallop in his fists that many middleweights could only dream of having. Although Dodson doesn’t possess a world championship, he believes he is without question the best on the planet at 125 pounds.
He almost got that title, but he let reigning champion Demetrious Johnson off the hook when the two fought two-and-a-half years ago.
