Big noses. Can they take a beating?

Thought I'd have a nosey up in this thread but quickly realised that I couldn't give a hooter.
 
Definitely, doesn't matter. Big noses just look worse when they get broken. Easier to get caught with an uppercut or a front kick though
 
When Miocic first told his dad he was going into MMA, his dad sarcastically laughed "Hah! You've got a great nose for it..."

140 lb weakling? Helwani is a hulking beast who would make you his bitch.

Here he is eye to eye with 6'6 Carwin.


Carwin is not 6 6
 
Look at rory macdonald, doesnt necessarily have a small nose. I guess it has to due with defending more than anything.
looks like he has a weak chin too lol, but i dont think hes been ko'd. Rory may be a bad example tho. He lost his title shot because his nose got shattered
 
I remember Nate Diaz talking shit about CM Punk and his virgin nose. I myself have a beak of a nose. But oddly enough it can take a beating much like someone with a large head can. (Tito, chuck, rampage) its just hard because it's such a big target. If they hit just right. They can water your eyes fairly easy. This is why I couldnt be a fighter. My nose rivals Helewanis. Except I'm not a 140lbs weakling like him.

Which fighter has a beak but can throw down? Tate is retired. But I don't see many fighters with a beak fighting.
Who's Helewani?
 
Sort of on the flip side of this, I wonder if certain types of noses take punishment better like Robbie Lawler for example. He has this tiny little flat nose and he always takes a ton of face shots in his fights but when is the last time you've noticed his nose busted? Me neither.
 
Hendo has a nice small slender nose with almost no bridge. He takes a punch quite well
