    I hate those list from that site takes me to long to get through. Nick Diaz IMO has the best chin in MMA.

    My only complaint with the list is that Hunt isn't at the top of the list and Chuck, a guy who blocked punches with his face for an entire career and only got KOed at 38, was absent. I'm sure that'll make scurlarcuntings happy, however, since he finds Chuck's chin to be "average".

    And Stoo, the only 12 year-old brat is you, the insufferable little **** who can't see a single post I make, even the ones not baiting you ******s with chintalk, without chiming in with something irrelevant and in poor humor.

    I do wish they would have attempted at ordering their list. Besides that its great! BJ Penn has never been dropped or hurt his chin is granite, I think Gomi has only been dropped once by Sergey Golyaev( I guess thats why the judges decided to rob him in that fight), Anderson silva definetly deserves his place on that list he basically ignores clean punches from leben and Dan henderson and when dan landed that knee on Silva it just pissed Andy off!

    Fedor has a great chin as well only been hurt I believe 2 times in his career (Cro cop and Fujita, antonio silva I guess could be added?) took a big one vs Fuji and never even went down.:admin

    Chuck was absent from the list because his chin isnt great. Its really that simple.

    Your understanding of punch resistance isn't that great if you realize that Chuck was never put out until he was 38 and he managed that feat by spending his entire career blocking punches and kicks with his face. You can't do that without an iron chin.

    And if my own prodigious chinchecking abilities weren't enough to convince me of Chuck's prime mandibular fortitude we can simply read respected analysts like Jordan Breen and Josh Gross who both agree that Chuck had an outstanding Chin. I guess it's one of those things that you had to actually be watching MMA at the time to understand because from '03-'06 it was ONE OF THOSE FACTS that Liddell just couldn't be put out and it was with good reason. Because every time he fought a superior striker he spent the majority of the fight getting outstruck and beat up and then his checked the opponent's chin and it didn't make the grade.

    Interesting, that your satisfied being a gimmick.

    I have been watching MMA for a long time. I remember when chuck was on top, it was his TDD and PUNCHING POWER that got him there CHIN was 4th behind his great RECOVERY (which is what allowed chuck to survive the high kicks from Pele for instance) when chuck fought other strikers, liddell often used his wrestling to get through being hurt, and he was hurt almost every time he fought a "striker."
