Doumbe: "Most muscular guys have weak chins"!

[r-harper-1]

Steve Judson is the GOAT of weak chins.

Is that the dude Brad koler (?) killed

 

[DOMMA]

No they are not of Mexican decent.. my God, you sound ridiculous saying that non sense

There were two paragraphs; the first stating fighters of Mexican descent generally have better chins. Lots of evidence to support this.

The 2nd paragraph mentioned fighters that were not muscular (topic of thread) that had great chins. I realize several of the fighters mentioned were not Mexican.

 

[Mammothman]

Ngannou, Carwin

In context, since he talk about his personnal experience (with a kickboxing career at 170lbs), the possible reason is that the most muscular guys he faced were also the ones who cut the most weight.

Obviously muscles don't weaken your chin. But looking super shredded can be a correlated with dehydration.

In the UFC the best chins I can list:
Ngannou, Blagoi Ivanov, Jon Jones, Mark Hunt, Marvin Vettori, Kelvin Gastelum, Max Holloway, Roy Nelson, the Diaz brothers

Lots of different physics and ethnicity. Hard to see any trend, really.

Yep, Steve Judson can't take a punch.

 

[Emjay]

Doesn't help to leave it out there to get hit

 

[no fat chicks]

Uriah hall KOed him

He was never out

I don't know about that really. But its true that a lot of fat fighters have amazing chins, thats always been the case in boxing and MMA and kickboxing. Guys like Nelson, Hunt, Cabbage, Butterbean, Gastelum, Fury, Rothwell and many others always tend to have really good shot absorption

I always suspected because they have round faces and not pointy chins that they can take the shots better in general.

I used to work with 4 guys from Tonga long time ago, 20+ years ago, and all of them were obese, but they had chins from God.. I saw them get into a few fights after bars and even though they were really slow and unfit, you just can't drop them for nothing haha, their chins are incredible. I'm certain most ripped guys would have gone out cold with what I saw.

dude its a real pic LOOK

What the fuck hahaha his heads like a pea

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Poirier doesn't have a "great" chin

It's not bad, but far from great

A better example is Mousasi, who has a small head/narrow jaw and never got KOd despite fighting in 3 weight classes

His hunched backed and rolled shoulders no doubt help

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Bigfoot Silva needs a refund

His chin was good until USADA

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Usyk is another iron jawed fighter.
Same structure. Wide face with high cheekbones and strong jawbone


But head size is in proportion.

A strong Jawline coupled with a short chin broad

 

[sandokan83]

Has something to do with the neck does it not?

 

[StonedLemur]

Big head = Epic chin
Small head = weaker chin

Condit doesn't have a big head sir.
Ortega dont either.

Both have great chins.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Condit doesn't have a big head sir.
Ortega dont either.

Both have great chins.

Both have wide broad flattish faces and that magical Mexican blood

 

[StonedLemur]

Both have wide broad flattish faces and that magical Mexican blood

Don't have big heads though, which was the point @HHJ made sir.

 

[CockSalesman]

faces all look like this

compact midface
short wide flat faces with strong jawline

I have this kind of face
I'm shit at martial arts but last time I was in a bike crash I face planted on my chin and got up completely fine which surprised me as the concrete I landed on was pretty fucking hard
