    I agree with this post. Davis would be my choice.

    It's a shame he didnt get a round or two under his belt last night to test his cardio

    I think Davis is durable and athletic enough to give him a hard time, as well as the obvious stylistic aspects.

    Shogun needs tough fights where he's dragged into the trenches if he wants to compete with JJ

    Henderson or Anderson Silva, don't think Machida 3 should be until one is champion again.

    Hendo. That's the biggest fight that can be made out of those guys and it's one I've wanted to see ever since PRIDE 33. It's one of those fights that I can't see being anything but spectacular since both are ATG Iron Chinned Warriors, both have plenty of heat offensively, and they both fight at a high-pace and for KOs rather than points.

    Are you sure Henderson is up to it? Hendo was rocked in his last fight. Doesn't that mean he has a glass jaw?

    But in his fight before last, Shogun got stopped. Doesn't that mean he too is a "Glass Jawed Fraud" with a chin made of 'wet toilet paper' and who is shamefully devoid of 'Mandibular Fortitude'?

    Hell, Shogun vs Hendo is really a clash of two softys to the troll battalions.

    We might as well be watching Arlovski vs Schaub.

    Or Chuck Liddell (of the Franklin fight) vs MetalMandible (of his fight with you about Nog vs Schaub).

    You're both ****ing idiots that are putting words in my mouth. I've never said that being dropped or KOed instantly relegated one to the Glass Jawed Fraud brigade. You have to analyze the KD or KO and decide whether the punch was great or the Chin was shitty and I've given both Shogun and Henderson massive props for not only having historically great Chins but also still possessing that level of Mandibular Fortitude.

    Really, you're just like the deniers on the General Forum, you try to insinuate that the Chincheckers blast EVERY guy who has ever been rocked and that isn't the case. You people seem to think that Chuck's Chin was questionable because he got rocked and dropped a few times in his career but I actually believe him to be an Iron Chinned Warrior until he got old because he blocked every punch with his face and only got dropped a couple times for doing that, only got KOed very late in his career, and generally ate shots that "woulda KOed anybody"!

    I can't help that you set yourself up for this with all this chinchecker silliness. Chincheckers, seriously?:lol: What the hell do you guys do? Point out someone can get knocked out. Oh wait, some people are easier to knock out than others? Well no **** geniuses.

    What if I became a speed checker, and made umpteen annoying threads about? Slow fighters exist in mma, it's irrefutable.

    Maybe I could become a submission checker. Poor submission defense exists in mma, it's irrefutable.

    What about punching power? Sometimes guys with sturdy chins still get ko'd by a good shot. Punching power exists in mma, it's irrefutable. Featherfisters also exist in mma. It's also irrefutable.

    Your gimmick has grown stale. It's irrefutable.

    Actually, I think those would be fine ideas. I often point out fighters with poor punch velocity and those with feather fists, though I will admit that my expertise lends itself to Chinchecking the most. Anytime you critique a fighter on his flaws it's more informative and productive than the blind hero worship that occurs so often here. And no, we do more than point out that fighters can be KOed, we tell you which ones and most of the time we're right. Glass Jaws Exist and it's the duty of the Chincheckers to point them out for dummies like Flash Jab who seem to always think that "that punch woulda KOed anybody". Call it a free educational service, if you will.

    Really, it's amazing how wound up people get when you call a Glass Jawed Fraud out for what he is. As you said, all sorts of flaws exist in combat sports and I often point out ALL of them, but as soon as I mention the Mandible you get crybabies that can't deal with it.
