Chuck is a prime example, saw him eat shots like it was pillows hitting him back in the day. Later in his career a gust of wind could blow him over.

Same could be said if Fedor, anyone else come to mind?
 
Rockhold. It seemed like trt Vitor was a fluke then Bisping, Romero and Jan sealed the deal.
 
Diego was a monster in terms of durability. He would eat heavy shots and keep coming forward. Penn, a vicious finisher at the time, rocked him badly fresh in the first round but Diego recovered.

Cumulative damage takes its toll. He’s been on the receiving end of some bad tkos and KOs late in his career, Matt Brown fight being probably the most notable example.

I came to this thread only to see who is the first retard to name Fedor even when there is no proof he had an iron chin even in his prime.
 
Chris Weidman use to have a chin and often relied on it until it was cracked in rockhold and romero fight

BJ playing the bongos on Diego’s head for 5 rounds followed by Hathaway obliterating him with that knee next fight certainly took a few years off him
 
Arlovskis chin seems to go in and out at random. His glass chin has been well documented. Then he goes the distance with Rumble.
