Fighters with weak punches but solid chins

Did jones ever even drop anyone with a single punch standing? Not a combination or already hurt fighter.
 
He can do that all he wants but I think that was Sam's only stoppage win in the UFC in around 20 fights.
Damn, did he have that many fights in the UFC? There used to be talk of the edwards fighting being a setup as someone plunked down like 50,000 right before the fight on Stout who was like a +700 underdog. I remember the great Mike Goldberg talking about it during the broadcast.
 
CM Punk. No MMA experience. Goes the distance 1 time and the other Gall had to take him down as he knew he would never KO a guy who can withstand chair shots

He dropped Machida. You can see the blood on the mat when he dropped. There are people who thought he squeezed him so hard that he started bleeding.

He also beat the shit out of Shogun but you can argue he hit him on the ground as much as standing.
 
Lots of wrestlers for some reason, Hughes, Sherk, GSP, Jones, Ortiz, Couture, Shields.
 
Diego Sanchez could hurt people if he threw absolutely everything into the punch like against Gil, but still very high chin to power ratio.
 
We've heard of glass cannon. What do we call the exact opposite of that. Here's a list of fighters that fit that model

Jon jones
Jake Shields
Max holloway
Diaz bros
Colby covington
man all cardio machine workhorses...

Man i enjoyed wathcing all of them fight so much. Especially Diaz and Holloway
 
Pre Masvidal it goes to Askren.

He really was capable of taking a punch and driving right through it.

But had stay puffed written all over him.
There's no real proof his chin was ever really that good. He just avoided big punches for a long time
