I've seen Fedor do that and he has the awesome punchinf power.
Fedor advocates this kind of training in his book. Chuck Liddell does likewise in his own book: apparently hitting an old truck tire with a sledgehammer is a favorite training technique of Coach John Hackleman and his team at The Pit.

BTW this thread is like one of those insect species that recurrently surfaces in a flurry of activity every couple of years and then goes dormant...still, much better than more Knowledge Bot threads ...
