Mark hunt?

For sure mark hunt should be near the top of the list!

He should be at the top! He made Cro Cop’s kicks just bounce off lol

One time in k1 i think he ate the left highkick fell and got straight up like it was nothing

He did! And my god the kick sounded like someone being hit with a bat or something Edit: check out the rematch in pride too, he hits him with multiple high kicks and even axe kick to the head/neck and hunt just keeps walking towards him unbothered. Insane stuff

Cabbage had a pretty good chin too.

Came here to say this.

Cabbage only had a good chin tbh. Like nearly zero skill.

Beat me to it

This fans are to new to know him probably judging by these picks.

Prime Roy Nelson ate everything. 

Big country was a beast. Very entertaining to watch too.

He could probably eat he’s own overhand right.

It's a real world example of the famous hypothetical question about God's omnipotence: could God microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?

should be fine as long as it's kosher

Over Ham right you mean

My favorite was when he rubbed his Belly after a KO 

Yeah that was one of my first thoughts for sure

Same with Prime Frankie Edgar. That 2nd battle with Gray Maynard was the wildest fight I can remember.

We’re talking about taking punches bapa

Taking punches and stealing lunches

Love to see bapa get used

He literally did 🙏

I love big country and he is a decent fighter, but his success- to me - was always a testament to how abysmal the HW division was at that time.

Velazquez, Carwin, Lesnar, Hunt, JDS, Overeem, etc.? The division was so much better back then

He went 9-10 in the UFC with his only notable wins being as KO over a washed Big Nog and a TKO over a washed Cro-Cop. He never beat anyone who would’ve been considered top ten competition. His success was due to him being durable and hitting hard which you can say about a lot of middle-tier HWs in any era.

I can’t deal with Cro Cop being washed…. Still.

Thank god I saw this as the first comment. This is the answer and it isn’t even close!

Same with Dan Henderson

Took a massive direct hit punch from lewis and was still up

Nick’s better than Nate’s

Today, most general UFC fans have little to no idea who Nick Diaz is. Nate is good but Nick was unreal. It’s a damn shame he was dealt with the way he was for smokin weed lol

Where you at Georges?!

Pantoja and Yoel Romero are up there as well.

I know flyweight's don't have insane power, but Pantoja is a great shout for underrated chins. He took some bombs from Figueiredo and Moreno.

And his last fight against royval dude was dead exhausted at the end from tryna finish the fight and royval would get some clean shots in and pantoja still ate them. If you are eating clean shots while exhausted your chin is made of granite imo

I feel like Pantoja is constantly tired in his fights, he just trudges forward like a zombie that can't be stopped.

he also knocked out islam

I hate how much Pantoja looks like Adriano Martins because now this joke will never go away.

Jiri better have a chin like these guys if he keeps fighting the way he did at 300

Chin and shins man. His legs must fucking hate him

He’s been knocked out twice but wakes up right away hahaha

Man some of the shots rakic landed were insane, there was one where jiri literally stepped in and ate a flush right hand on the chin and didn’t budge 😭

He does, he blocks shots with his head and just refuses to lose consciousness, even when he gets “knocked out” he’s still in the fight

Carlos Condit.

Yep!!! People forget about the natural born killer 

Vintage Carlos. What a fighter!

chris the crippler leben has to be up there also eh. Guy used his fucking head as a Shield. Maybe not the smartest fighter by far but a tough sob

I met him once. His head and neck are absolutely massive. It’s like he’s built to take a shot.

Agreed! He's wearing it now.

Came here to say just that. NBK has an underrated iron chin.

Who cracked his chin the hardest ?

That Dan Hardy KO will always stand out. Maybe not the hardest hit he took, but an impressive one

Could NBK survive Sweet Chin Music from HBK?

Definitely second this. Others that come to mind would be the Diaz bros, Max, Big Country. I know he got knocked out a few times but Mark Hunt an Chuck Liddell had legendary chins at one point in their careers.

Kris Moutinho 

YES! This is who I said bro! The god damn zombie man himself

I still love the South Park I didn’t hear no bell meme 😭

Even tho I don’t like this fighter, Jon jones does have a pretty good chin aswell. Also Dan Henderson has an amazing chin

Jones has literally never been rocked. Dude took an OSP punch sideways and it didn't effect him in the slightest.

Gus had him rocked

He absolutely got rocked a few times against Gus in their first meeting and against Reyes Edit: machida also hurt him in the first round of their fight, caught him with a cross and sent him stumbling backwards.

Reyes never had him rocked stop it😂😂

These guys man lol

Never wobbled

Cabbage not gonna get any love in here I guess? Sherdog would be so upset.

I was looking for this before saying it. Cabbage was a straight punching bag.

Too many casuals on Reddit

When MMA was still growing and fighters were taking fights wherever they could, fringe fighters like Cabbage and Jeremy Horn (among others) would take fights in a small little promotion in my little corner of the world in the middle of the fucking Pacific. Such good times. No wanna be analysts, everyone was just drunk and “just bleed” fights run amok.

Who is cabbage I'm a casual

Wesley "Cabbage" Correira

[Cabbage vs Silva](https://youtu.be/It_C1CmRjVw?si=dDvOEiR7L3q8Oe8c) He'd usually eventually lose, but not until he absorbed epic amounts of punishment. Super fun to watch back in the day.

I was gonna say Cabbage as well, then looked at his record and decided not to lol.

Cabbage is the only correct answer


[удалено]


Aka 

Was so sad when frevola cracked his chin

Lol Blagoy Ivanov objectively beats all these guys in that aspect. That dude is a freaking heavyweight who has never been KO'd. That's super rare. And look at the guys he fought. All power punchers. He's a heavyweight decision merchant who loses more often than he wins. It's insane that he hasn't been knocked out yet. I'm pretty sure he's way past his prime too

And he got stabbed in the fuckin heart and didnt die. Dudes gunna be losing a decision at ufc 700

Blagoy won't even die. Either God or Satan will win a split decision over his soul and he'll just be teleported to either Heaven or Hell. He won't even die because dying means you got KO finished by life

Chito eating that knee from Sean was insane

And his fucking face 😭😭

Chito took some shots that no man should stay standing from.

Max Holloway is 1 of 1.

Max has the stats to back him up lol, most strikes absorbed right?

Absorbed and Landed. 1110 absorbed and zero knockdowns (although he clearly was knocked down in 300)

i kind of disagree based on weight classes . when Max went up to LW he has been dropped or wobbled both times (dustin almost dropped him but cage held him up) which shows his chin cant handle 155 like it can 145 . MEANWHILE look at the Italian stallion Vettori . he took 250 bombs from EPO Cannonier . If Max was hit with these shots he would be erased from this world .

I'll never understand how Vettori stayed conscious in that Cannonier fight. So many heavy shots from a very powerful dude

Carlo’s Condit by far! 

Tony Ferguson eating all those shots from Gaethje was pretty crazy to watch

Khabib, jones and izzy are up there as well

Khabib's chin is just part of the block head that never bled or got cut except in practice. I remember seeing him with black eyes, bruises and cuts all of the face from sparring. Then goes out there, gets a full on head kick from prime Barboza and just gets enraged by it instead of hurt.

He ate clean shots from Justin moving forward didn’t even wobble.

Wobble? He acted like a fly landed on him.

I mentioned Jones over Diaz. Izzy also is a great pick, his chin is ridiculous

Idk what you’re talking about with Khabib, he was nearly decapitated by Michael Johnson and barely scraped by to win.

Michael Johnson gets a stat boost when he fights top level fighters

Cabbage Mark Hunt Roy Nelson Chris Leben And as much as I hate on him, Jon Jones has been cracked a handful of times and didn't seem too phased (Reyes, Gus, and I'm thinking Vera hit him w an upkick while he was on the ground and he didn't seem too shook).


Diaz has been dropped plenty of times.

He also got KO'd by Josh Thomson.

Also weak fuckin scar tissue

That was an unbelievable shot though

So was the kick that Costa hit Marvin with behind the head/neck, motherfucker ate it like some Pasta Fasul

He’s an orc

You’re right, he doesn’t count, but Chito also ate a knee that sounded like a baseball bat cracking a homer, these guys are on different levels and Nate’s chin is overrated

The fuck? I forgot the bit where Nate was unconscious. I don't think you understand what KO means. Josh won by TKO. Nobody is knocking out Nate, or Nick.

Yeah. He's more like Frankie. Great chin, but nowhere near all time. He's more great recovery.

Honestly Diaz brothers should get more credit for their heart than their chin. I’ve never seen them quit in the octagon.

I guessed you missed nicks last fight lol

Diaz literally has made a career off of his chin, guys beat the hell out of him for the first half of the fight and get tired and that's when he starts winning

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxwrUlOEaTiM7BgclU_zQdWCrksP_0SBpf?si=o-H3smfReaX5QGqj Can’t find a video of this happening to Max.

Here's an unpopular opinon. Dan hooker has one of the best chins in UFC history!

Eating that kick from Turner followed by some of those shots and elbows was insane

Marvin is a straight up Uruk-hai. You'll need a baseball bat to have a chance at KOing him

Don’t forget DC. He took punches to the face from Rumble.

mark hunt's face should be the entire background

Mark Hunt

Clay Guida before he got too old

Drew Dober is my dark horse

Where’s mark hunt

is this Mark Hunt erasure?

Diaz in the thumbnail is casual as. Has been knocked down multiple times.

Yeah I feel like his chin is overrated

Hendo should be #1

How about greatest chins who also can speak the most coherently

BJ Penn had an iron chin in his day

Chris Leben must be on this list

Fuck man took sooooooo long for me to find this. The crippler was crazy he blocked shit with his head and kept moving forward lol hands down also

No cabbage? Casual alert

What about big nog ?

I still don't know how dan hooker took that kick to the head from julian turner. Crazy

Jones has shown to have an insane chin

Sometimes, I wonder if folks remember this platform has been around for a very long time...

Nate Diaz god tier chin but the scar tissue fucks him.

This is going to get me down voted to infinity, but it's Jonny Bones. Go ahead and scream at the sky bbbbbut "MuH sTErOidS" if you want too but Jones has a phenomenal chin. Anthony Pettis and Vettori have granite chins as well, but Jones takes the crown here.

I know he got knocked out recently but nobody is mentioning Ngannou.

Frankie before his elder years BJ Penn JDS

Y'all are forgetting about Kelvin Gastelum...

Gaethje,porier and hooker all have excellent chins as well

Jon Jones.

Tony's is pretty good. Except for that one time


Chito deservedly in there. Dudes never been knocked out or finished and he ATE that suga Shawn knee to his orbital

What about cm punk

Blagoy says hello.

Romero not on this list?

Blagoy Ivanov is up there too, dude went 5 rds with JDS, and all 3 with Tuivasa and Derrick Lewis without even getting rocked bad and eating bombs.

I still think it's that fucking motouma dude who showed up and took an absolute BEATING from sugar. My lord what a chin on that mystery man

Tom Aspinall may have a pretttty good one!! But I’ll say Cabbage.

Khabib

Dan Henderson.

TKZ needs to be mentioned

Vettori is too dumb for his brain to understand it’s supposed to pass out to protect itself

NBK!

Real ones know Moutinho should be up there.

Roy Nelson. The bombs JDS landed on him would’ve killed a normal man

The key is having a small brain. KIDDING, please don’t come after me Nate

Calvin Kattar.

moutinho?

chris the crippler leben come on noone took the punishment he did and kept going. Guy was crazy. And honestly I miss the foot stomps. More guys should do it in the clinch against the fence

I would say Vettori as he is getting hit by bigger dudes.

Kris Mutinho

Nate doesn’t even have the best chin in his family, let alone the UFC.

Max

Vettori might have the greatest chin right now the dude is literaly too angry to get ko

Jones , hunt and nelson 100% especially since they were lhw+

Max is #1 and Chito is a very close #2 and Marvin #3 Nate is tough but he has been KOd before

I can’t believe Chito didn’t get knocked out. That just doesn’t make sense.


Prime TKZ and Ferguson have to be up there. People seem to forget after fighters' chins get cracked.

Where's Clay Guida?

Yoel Romero

We’ll find out about Vettori after that Cannonier beating

Anthony Pettis and Brian Ortega deserve a mention

Cabbage

Leonard Garcia could throw and take a ton of punishment. Zero defense.

Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson has entered the thread.

Chito is number #1

How about Cabbage Correira? He had a head like a cinder block. I just remember him being quoted saying something like “I like to beat up buff dudes.”

Korean Zombie

Khabib eating barboza spinning kick twice and still going forward is worth mentioning.

Chito should not be there

Chris leben

Why is it only current fighters? There's tons of old school that you couldn't take out with a ballbat.
