    Read the artical before but i still enjoy seeing someones take on the chins in mma if they arent overdoing it.
    I think they rank the chins in the overall career as you can see they listed the amount of times a fighter has been KOd

    A clear distinction must be made between heart and chin. Chin stops you going down, heart picks you back up!

    Chucks chin used to be the real deal. Hendos chin is literally big and solid, Nogs past it but was once a power house with his chin alone!

    Diaz got sparked early in his career and his chin is still breakable but he has real balls as shown vs Daley.

    I think Carwin might be a sneaky guy with a good chin. He took a beating off JDS, Brock and Mir couldn't find any success. Early days but just maybe.

    Penn has got a good chin and hes proven it against Machida who made Evans do the skanky leg.

    The best chin in MMA is still the one of Mark Hunt, procedent of K-1, grapplers and wrestler, with the exception of Minotauro Nogueira, Hendo and maybe a few more, cant take a ****ing punch.

    Fedor's chin in his prime is just... dude, what the **** are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be on the canvas? How are you still upright?

    Why would you specify "in his prime" when in his last fight he got straight ****ing pummeled through the mat by a 285 lb giant and was never on ***** street? I'd say that his Chin is still extremely solid.

    Although a fantastic win for Melvin that loss is meaningless. Hunt is a tin can now. Remember this was a guy who ate leg kicks for breakfast from Cro Cop.

    That was 10 years into his K1/MMA career where he'd been in with the likes of Sefo, Le Banner, Hoost, Cro Cop, Wandy, Fedor and Reem without being kodded. The damage was done before Melvin got to him.
