*Has Ngannou been rocked or knocked down before?*

[Seiryoku Zenyo]

I know he has a good chin. He's not like those heavy hitters with a glass chin, like Overeem or Arlovski. He's more of the JDS, Nelson kind of chin.

Has he been rocked or knocked down before?

No

No

Stipe hit him with clean bombs while Francis was moving towards him (which accentuates the force of the punch) and he was never rocked.

Same shots that cracked a few good chins without much trouble

He got maybe slightly stunned by a shot from Blaydes. Never rocked as fa as I can know.

I wouldn't compare him to Nelson yet, he hasn't really taken a bomb, but we definitely know his chin is very good.

...This doesn't count as a "bomb"?

Francis took quite a few shots like that in that fight

Looked like it hurt Stipe more than it hurt Ngannou

He has dat Wakanda vibranium chin

People mocked Francis for the Stipe fight, but he showed incredible heart and durability. Stipe had the perfect fight and still looked pretty busted at the end.

No. That was more of a jab/punch.

Nothing like a "bomb".

If that's your definition of a jab then you don't know much about anything.

Strong punch, I guess it's a matter of opinion. Definitely a lot of reason to have confidence in his chin.

10-8 for the white belt.

A jab? It's a straight punch, not a jab.

No... tomorrow will be the first time...

That punch didn't have much behind it though, basically an arm punch over Ngannou's lead that didn't do much of anything.

If that's your definition of "strong punch that proves a great chin", then you don't know much about anything.

I feel like @Ponzinibbio is the Erick Silva of Sherdog forums!

You already got owned, stop digging your hole deeper.

Why would I? It wasn't a punch to prove a great chin. It had nothing behind it.
