"Skinny White Boy with One-Punch Knockout Power" is a reference to UFC 135-pounder Sean O'malley. He is tall and lean for the division, but has some of the most devastating walk-off knockouts in UFC history.
Derp: "Why do people like O'malley so much?" Derp2: "Because he's a skinny white boy with one-punch knockout power. His fights are exciting - you never know when he's going to drop his opponent."
