Nobody has mentioned Maia? He has a great chin
Nog is best example. No one comes closeBig Nog is the GOAT in that aspect... i don't think anyone took more damage and still won most of his fights than he did.
Not current fighter, i know, but he is without a doubt the best example.

Brock.
Doesn't like to get hit but his chin is pretty solid.
No. Because just because you stay conscious does not mean that when you fly into this you are scary.Good call but he's not current.
Yes Shields.Shields? You gotta be kidding me.
Maia and Werdum are just decent but not even close to a granite chin.
Minotauro is not current but yeah he had a good chin but not sure if he ever got hit like Cain hit him so hard to tell if it did deteriorated or not.
I don't know, man. He did take an h-bomb.Shields? You gotta be kidding me.

Maybe the most scary kind of MMA fighter you can think of: An elite grappler with a granite chin.
Below are my top 5 (current) fighters. Let me know if you agree or not and why.
1. Khabib
2. Romero
3. Usman
4. Jacare
5. Ortega
Obviously the left high kick didn’t land in the right spot or it would’ve put him down. You can’t justify somebody’s chin just by using a type of strike they survived. Obviously all strikes land differently in different spots with different power and velocity.Not really sure about Shields; he hasn't been KOed much though. Pride Nog's chin was fucking legendary - it was almost impossible to finish him. He ate a LHK from Cro Cop and didn't even fall down ffs - a follow-up straight left was needed to knock him down. Not to mention the G&P from Fedor, Sapp and the bonus piledriver from Sapp...

shields took bombs from Hendo and still won.Shields? You gotta be kidding me.

Most of you will want to kill me for saying this but...... Is Big Nog an elite grappler? I know he's a black belt, great reputation, lots of subs, and he has a good BJJ schools yet why would be wrong to call him a great MMA grappler but not an elite one? He doesn't have legitimate BJJ credentials like Maia or Jacare
