Hardest shot you’ve ever seen a fighter absorb without going down

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Rampage running into Prime Wanderlei's right hook was one of the biggest shots I've seen someone take without going down.

 

[McGrubie]

Not the best examples, but basically Max in this entire fight. He took huge shots and didn’t go down. He did get saved by the fence at one point though

I nominate

1) the upkick Frankie Edgar took from Benson Henderson

and

2) the kick to the jaw Randleman took from Sakuraba. It's been a while since I watched, but as I recall, it didn't even slow R. visibly.

 

[TheChance]

I seem to recall him taking a pretty hard axe kick in that fight as well

 

[linvillegorge]

I know the TUF era fans won't believe me, but Chuck had one of the best chins in the sport in his prime.

For me it has to be this:

Roy Nelson’s chin is absolutely insane. What other ones can you guys think of?

You son of a bitch. I came here to post this. Haha! In all honesty, though, big country kind of rolls with it.

The Frankie one is a great example. I completely forgot about that. I’ll have to look up the Randleman vs Sakuraba one

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Damn. Roy Nelson still standing doesn't even make sense. Full windup and directly to the chin.

Bro and he doesn’t even see the punch coming. Wtf man

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Gas taking LOTS of hard shots.

Juiced uppercut from the fucking floor

 

[STAY GOLD]

This is what I was going to post. This was during peak right kick hospital, left kick cementary Cro Cop and Hunk eat it like nothing.

He definitely rolls with it, but damn Lewis put so much weight behind that. Nelson and Hunt are probably the only fighters I could think of who could take that punch.

Yeah unfortunately newer fans don’t know this. In his prime, Chuck had an amazing chin.

Lmao TUF era fans are practically OGs by today’s standards

 

[McGrubie]

Francis doesn’t load up on this, but it’s still impressive on Stipe’s part.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Can't forget the chin of the gods

at speed

 

[Bojka]

Roy Nelson had the best chin I've seen. Would like to see prime Nelson vs Ngannou just to see how many shots he could take.

 

[93confirmed]

Hunt taking cro cops LHK, Soz no gif I'm having a wank atm

 

[potatoReloaded]

Spoiler

Honestly, the way it is filmed à la WWE makes it look kind BS. At least it surely didn't seem as impactful as it could've been.

 

[Spath]

Ben Rothwell has eaten some terrifying shots without going down. I found two examples right away!

JDS slinging his patented overhand right and landing on the button:


and Hunt cracking him with a overhand right just when Ben is moving towards him:

Can't forget the chin of the gods

Probably my all-time favorite fighter. He doesn’t get enough credit on here for his career solely based on the Diaz fight. His durability was unreal.
