Since my Iron-Chinned Warriors is getting lots of feedback it's time to post up the most abysmal Glass Jaws of all-time, as well, and see YOUR picks for those. Here are the ten softest Chins ever to grace the sport; 01. Hikaru Satu- It takes a helluva guy to beat out AA for #1 but this dude was starched while mounted on his opponent!:roflatsch 02. Andrei Arlovski 03. Jonathan Goulet 04. James Thompson 05. Kendall Grove 06. Forrest Griffin 07. Keith Glass Jawdine 08. Marcus Jones 09. Ken Shamrock 10. Matt Lindland Honorable mentions- Chuck Liddell, Olaf Alonso, Bob Sapp, Shannon Ritch, Marvin Eastman, ****** Eilers, Jens Pulver, Kimbo Slice
But there are two things to consider in putting him over Griffin. Both were put down by jabs but in Kimbo's case he was finished off by a rapid-fire volley of hammerfists whereas Griffin got hit by the jab and flopped over like a ragdoll, done, finis. Secondly, you have to consider their respective bodies of work. Griffin was feather fisted Jardine's only KO victim in his entire UFC career, he was put out cold by punches from guard, knocked out with a winging right hand to the temple, and it was all topped off by that disgraceful jab KO. Kimbo on the other hand was finished by an accumulation of low kicks by Mitrione and by that pathetic one-footed jab from Petruzelli. Both of these guys have disgraceful Chins and while I really would like to see Kimbo on the Top 10, as well, I don't think he has the complete CV to see him replace a proven Fragile Mandibled Fraud like Griffin.
Griffin has in his favour that he's at least gone to war a few times and survived, though. Oh, I would also consider Jorge Santiago for selection.
Yeah, Ninja's Chin was always suspect but it didn't appear to be all-out glass until Kharitonov lowered the boom on him. After that it was pretty damn pathetic but maybe not pathetic enough to go on the ATG list. Sucks he has to be left out but he's retired and therefore not eligible for current GJ rankings and he wasn't quite glassy enough to make this illustrious list. He went to war against Bonnar who couldn't bust a grape and he survived against Rampage because Rampage only hit him solidly once. I can't recall any time he got hit flush by any one except Rampage (who has trouble finishing these days) and managed to survive, so his Chin is Grade AAA China, for sure. And yeah, Jorge Santiago is definitely a Glass Jawed Joke but not quite poor enough for this list. He'll go on my current Glass Jaw Rankings, probably as an honorable mention.
I have him a solid #2 but you can't put him above Satu. Even Arlovski's disgusting Glass Mandible was never shattered while he had an opponent mounted, it's a level of disgrace that will likely never be equalled.
