Is this now the hardest strike to ever land that didn't KO an opponent?

[KONE]

Not only did it not KO him, but it didn't even fucking phase him. If I remember correctly he actually fucking smiled afterwards.

I know Hunt getting LHK'd by Crocop is up there, but seriously, this punch and Roy's head snapping was fucking surreal. Despite the subpar showing from him, this guy probably has the best chin of all time.

This also means that Arlovski and Hunt can both kill an elephant with their bare hands if they wanted

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Yeah that shit is insane. It wasn't even a shitty sloppy off balance shot either. He got his hips into it and threw a proper punch.

 

[WhiskeyPunch]

Good lord. That is crazy.

 

[MMAViewer]

It's gotta be up there.

Beard=ped's

 

[CamVanDamme]

Would have killed any mere mortal

He is cheating with the absorbing beard

 

[discrawg]

It was insane

 

[Morris88]

Roy's chin is unbelievable, no doubt about it

 

[Zerkalo.]

Omg. Chin!

 

[Marco Tropoja]

If I was not lazy I'd do a highlinghts video of Nelson taking bombs and not falling. JDS's punches, Werdum knees, etc.

That has to be one of the biggest shots that had zero effect on somebody . That was a crazy fight. Close fight. Roy was getting tagged, but he was really hoping the takedowns would steal it for him

 

[Baptizia]

fuckin' legendary chin

 

[Goodfella86]

I knew right away what this was going to be. It's definitely up there, if not at the top. I couldn't believe Roy stood up. That punch was probably the difference

 

[nevernamed]

Gotta say it again, as I've been saying for years, its too bad Roy Nelson doesn't take himself more seriously. He's tough as nails, if he was in half decent shape, he'd be winning a lot more fights.

 

[ShoopNazi]

This gif is in real time, I'd like to see it in slow motion.

 

[Jackonfire]

Nelson's beard is ridiculous.

 

[sky]

He was out, but he has a heavy center of gravity, so his body just rebounded back into place.

 

[AKA_Steve_B]

absolute bomb , not even Saddam could have withstood that one...
