How many fighters who have been dropped with body shots have come back to win in dominant fashion? The shots that hurt Brown would hurt anybody. Take a look at the first kick Silva landed:
Most fighters fold like accordions when hit with shots like that. Even seasoned strikers like Cerrone and Philippou pretty much quit instantly when they got hit with kicks like that. Brown not only survived, but went on to beat the brakes off of Silva. Same with the Mein fight. Mein hurt Brown with a picture-perfect left hook to the liver that would have hurt most anybody, then even followed it up with GnP to the body on the ground. Not 15 seconds after Mein was GnPing his body, Brown was able to lock in a triangle to buy himself recovery time. If anything, Brown should be praised for his ability to keep fighting despite eating brutal body shots, rather than being criticized has having a "glass body" whatever that means.
