Imagine if Luke Rockhold had a solid chin!

[Oceanmachine]

All his losses are by Knockout, and brutal KO´s more or less at that

The only way he could be champ is by playing it safe and taking everyone down in a very careful manner and keeping the fight there

 

[Carrotman23]

With the Bisping loss sure. But no matter how good someone's chin is if they get caught like he did against Romero and Jan you're going to sleep .

 

[Black Blood]

A solid chin would help. Learning to defend left hooks/strikes coming at his right side would be even better.

 

[Kha'bless]

Doesn't work like that, if he carries on getting caught with a solid chin it'll only give him the confidence to trade more thus making him lose his chin eventually.

He needed to have better defence and fight with his best attributes in mind, chin or no chin.

I think his chin is fine. He just got the shit punched out of him, really hard every time. Look at those kos , brutal

He needs to stick to game plans ant stay focused. He drifts away sometimes, like in the Jan and bisping fights

Made Bisping look like Ngannou.

I really don’t think it’s his chin.
Look at his KO losses. All clean and devastating and none of them are one shot asleep. He’s totally stuffed but it’s the follow ups that finish him. Those shots would put down 95% of MWs and even some LHW.

The difference is most of those 95% wouldn’t get hit with them because they have better defense.

You might be forgetting that he tried to get Jan to the ground but couldn't.
"I don't lose to people like Jan Blachowicz" Luke Rockhold

Imagine if The Chris had cardio.

 

[NickDiaz]

I give this thread a 3 out of Chin

 

[burningspear]

It's more the sticking it in the air like a homing target.

 

[Noctilux]

Imagine if Luke had a solid chin, great defense, and wasn't such a dick.

Yea he fights sometimes like he's playing a game instead fighting a fight lol

Agreed even rob got dropped harder by Romero, but he avoided the follow ups, and Jan landed a power hook against Corey and Corey went straight out no need for follow ups.. and I think the broke jaw wa a myth, that lump in his cheek was the mouth guard getting knocked outta place and pressing against his cheek

Image if Luke wasnt so arrogant...

 

[Hamim]

Keeping his hands up and defending would help more than a solid chin. As soon as he started putting his hands down against Jan, I saw where it was going.

All his losses are him being KO

That is not a good chin....

 

[Pierced7681]

His chin looked good in strikeforce, he went to war with Jacare for 5 rounds.

 

[Reileyb]

I have a theory it's less about chin and more about defense. He gets clocked hard and on the button.
