No Condit, Penn, Cabbage, Saku and countless others on this list is egregious.
 
I don’t think Rockhold necessarily has a “glass jaw” he got slept by Vitor, Jan, Yoel, & Bisping. I’d say it’s average. 3/4 of those guys have crazy power.
 
I have a pillow chin and glass fists. I've been banned from fighting though, apparently it's too dangerous for arteries. The pillow chin is nice. (For example, I can sleep on my chin. How cool is that huh ?)
 
Arlovski doesn't have a glass chin. He's been knocked out once in his last 14 fights.
 
Honestly, I think Bisping's chin was seriously underrated. The guy had three KO losses in 39 fights. The Hendo H-bomb from hell that would've KO'd anyone who ever lived. A headlock from a juiced up Belfort. And a hellacious punch from a hard hitting Gastelum.
 
I honestly think chin should be broken into two parts, ability to absorb damage without being rocked/dropped and recovery. Some fighters are ok in one area and bad in the other. Wanderlei for example in his prime was about average in terms of being able to take a punch without being rocked or dropped but his recovery was insane, and he would be fighting seconds later after getting hurt like it never happened.

Overeem has an average chin (or a bit below average) in terms of taking shots without being rocked or dropped but his recovery is very bad, same goes for a guy like Mir.

Then who by your logic has a good chin? You realize Overeem got hit by Alrovski and took it fine but Arlovski was KO by Overeem?

Yes but he got dropped a lot but you are right he had great recovery. I will move him up to good chins but not great

Agreed perfect analysis

So Bisping has great recovery, he got brutally dropped and injured by Wanderlei and Anderson and recovered and kept fighting. Also got hit with H bomb in his 2nd Hendo fight and also survived shots from Rockhold without going KO same with Vitor (Vitor Tko him)
 
By default, anyone who doesn't have a glass jaw or an iron chin are average so probably 85% of the roster. I don't know why Bisping would be average though. He hasn't been hurt too many times when you consider most of his TKO losses were at the end of his career which is typical for some fighters

Yes this is true. Some people can handle strikes well before getting rocked/wobbled, others get rocked/wobbled easily but have fast recovery time. Others have really bad recovery time, those are the ones you see turn their back after getting rocked because they are incapable of fighting back and they usually get TKO during that time.
