UFC stars Jon Jones and Conor McGregor both tested their strengths when they stepped up and took swings on different arcade-themed boxing machines.

A YouTuber has uploaded separate clips of when Jones and McGregor showed off the powers that they individually possess.

UFC light heavyweight champ Jones, 32, stepped up to the ESPN-themed punching machine and unloaded a powerful left hand.

The MMA legend's first attempt earned him a respectable 519 score, but he decided to take another shot and only managed to earn 444 in his second effort.

Jones failed to beat the record of 677 that was already set on the machine, despite falling short by quite a margin on both of his attempts.

Meanwhile, McGregor also tested his luck on a punching machine in what appeared to be a quite arcade area.

The 31-year-old Irish MMA superstar took a considerable run-up before unloading a powerful left-handed shot.

And McGregor smashed the 930 record already set with the 932 score he received for his impressive effort.

One fan posted: "[McGregor's] punch was pretty impressive though."

Another YouTube commenter wrote: "Close your eyes when you're at Conor McGregor's part. It sounds like he shot someone with a gun."

While user RedSky1335 argued: "Anyone notice Jones was punching with his left hand from a standstill position? JBJ is right-handed. Conor is left-handed, and he got a 5-meter running start before throwing his hardest punch."

A fourth fan said: "Conner had to do two hops before he though the punch! Jons [sic] just though a punch and it looked fast and like a k.o. punch!!!"

Former WBC champ and feared power puncher Deontay Wilder has also tested his power on a punching machine.

However, the 34-year-old KO artist decided to use his weaker left hand and still managed to score a whopping 927 score on the machine.
