Dude gets dropped every fight. Got dropped by Lee of all people lmfao. Conorn wouldve murdered him
 
He may get dropped but his recovery rate is top tier

You can count on 2 things
-Tony getting dropped
-Tony coming back from getting dropped to fuck you up
 
I'd say his chin is average and his defence is poor, but his recovery and toughness is worldclass
 
LOL he was off balance vs Lee and wasn't hurt in the slightest. He's been truly hurt twice during his 11 fight win streak. The flush head kick from Lando, and the bomb from Pettis. Both times recovered instantly.

His chin is fine, although because of his crazy aggression and the unorthodox strikes he sometimes throws from weird angles, the odds of him receiving a flash knockdown (where he's not hurt but is off balance) is higher than most guys.
 
we all know his chin isn that good but his ability to recver is ridiculous I dont think Ive seen too many fighters with the ability to recover so quickly like Ferguson does. If it wasnt for that Ferguson would not be where he is at today.
 
His chin is average or maybe even below but his recovery and composure are phenomenal. He gets stunned and dropped far too much for him to have a great chin, but he recovers so well he ends up being very durable.

He has immense recovery, so poor chin isnt an issue for him. He will get wobbled,knocked down but not KOd.
 
No, the opposite. His chin is great, because he never loses despite fighting recklessly and getting touched in every win.
 
usually you reserve 'bad chin' for guys getting finished, so depends on the definition.

he's got the frankie edgar thing going where he gets rocked routinely but almost never gets finished. if your recovery is that good, you can get away with being chinny sometimes.

Pretty much this. His biggest issue is his poor striking defense, not his chin.
 
He has a Wanderlei like chin where he gets dropped but recovers instantly most of the time but defensively he does clearly have significant issues.

Don't think its impossible that Khabib wins the standup vs him.
 
Horrible example.

Bad chin = Overeem. Everytime he gets hurt, he loses right after that.

Good chin = Ferguson. Everytime he gets hurt, he shakes it off and comes back to fucking win.
 
Much like Gaethje during his undefeated run, it's clear he's going to get knocked out and finished sooner rather than later. He's good at scrambling, weathering and recovering with strong cardio but in that there's an element of luck too that he's been riding.

Bad defense.

Anyone gets dropped by the right shot.
