Where does it rank? Dare I say it rivals some of the best chins of all time?

He was literally trying to stand up as Cain was hitting him:

Somehow ate Mark Hunt's right hand and is still amongst the living:

And barely budged from this JDS overhand:



Not to mention just stalking the absolute fuck out of Overeem, shrugging off overhands like they were an annoying fly, and eventually landing one of his own.

Really makes you appreciate Arlovski's power a lot. That's two granite chins he was able to put away.

In my book there's never been a HW with a more durable chin. He fights to finish or be finished. Scary dude

I wish the gif was a little longer, because you'd get to see Hunt trying to walk off like he had KO'd Rothwell, then turn around surprised as he realizes the fight isn't over.
 
JDS completely son'd him with that sparta kick.
 
It's cabbage level no doubt. Hunt is up there too. Roy Nelson can take a shot too.
 
Only reason Arlovski was able to put him down is the quick uppercut he hit him with under the arm right after the big right hand that he didnt see coming.

He has an amazing chin, no doubt.

Top 10?
 
Just because it is inevitable in these treads, might aswell get it over with:

Arlovski is the kryptonite of legendary chins. Probably why he can't have one for himself :(
 
I think Rothwell has an amazing chin, but he should be grateful for that early stoppage against Cain because I cannot imagine Ben's chin still holding up if he had to absorb another 2 rounds of Cain's onslaught.
 
The best.

Dude took everything from everyone
 
I still think Condit has the best chin in the history of MMA.

Ya it's weird he derails a lot of legendary chins
 
Rothwell definitely has one of the best chins in MMA currently. That Hunt right hand would have KOd 99% of heavyweights, but he's been dropped a few times before so not sure he'd rank as one of the most durable/best chins of all time (not that there is any objective way to quantify that anyway). Until Melvin cracked it, Hunt was considered absolutely unstoppable and of course many people sleep on guys like Jeremy Horn (never been KOd cleanly after more than a hundred fights) or Cabbage who shook-off what seemed like a neverending barrage of Arlovski haymakers,
 
He ate the JDS bomb that dropped Cain and Hunto. It stunned him but that was still nuts.
