Any fighter lost their chin, then regained it?

[OrigFan255]

Reason I am pondering this is, the return of Rockhold.
I honestly did not follow his early fights and don’t know if he ever had a chin.

Anyone fighters grow a chin with passing time?
My gut says no. When it is gone, it is gone.

 

[Askren’s chin]

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Andrei Arlovski

Rockhold doesn't have a bad chin, he has bad defense. He gets hit cleanly way too easily.

 

[The Doe Slayer]

Chuck Liddell never lost his, he just got caught.

Anderson?
KO’d versus Weidman then went on to avoid being KO’d or tko’d for another 7 years

 

[Goat St Pierre]

Lots of guys who started using steroids. Steroids make your chin better

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Andrei Arlovski

This, dude hardly ever gets KO'd now.

 

[TJ Dillashank]

This, dude hardly ever gets KO'd now.

His last ko loss was against Rozenstruik I think which from memory was ufc 243

I don't think being KOed one time mean you lost your chin. I mean, Nate Diaz didn't lost his chin against Josh Thompson

Exactly he got KOed by Polish Power, Romero, TRTitor, and Bisping was a bit of bad luck.

 

[ToTheMax]

Whitaker got KO'd by Wonderboy and then survived 10 rounds with Yoel.

 

[Fossor]

Don't know who lost his chin, but Urijah Faber is probably the one who found it

 

[Fahcough]

Reem had years of glass chin jokes, he still eats bombs that would put away majority of men.

 

[Dog Gynecologist]

Jon Jones lost his elbows against Matt Hamil but he trained it and now you can't beat him by headbutt to the elbow !

 

[camL17]

Arlovski is the obvious answer
Gets KO’d by Fedor and followed by Brett Rogers and Sergei Kharitinov. As an Arlovski fan, I thought he was done.
A few fights later survives 3 rounds of striking and a broken jaw with HW Anthony Rumble Johnson
Shortly after returns to the UFC and goes on a winning streak to a number one contender fight.

I’d argue that’s another good example.
Getting knocked out definitely means a fighter lost his chin, else he would have absorbed that shot and kept going. But I appreciate what you’re saying.

getting ko’d a single time doesn’t mean they lost their chin, especially considering the shot he took and it didn’t fully ko him unconscious, just rocked him and he got finished.

That works in our favor,because he always tries to stand up,giving us material...

But for that moment at the very least they lost their chin.
Otherwise how else they end up KO’d?
I don’t mean to be splitting hairs, but if you have a world class chin you don’t get dropped off anything.
