There are some fighters that are chinny, and some that just lost all ability to handle a shot well.
To me there seems to be a difference between fighter like for example:
Gaethje, he get's wobbled in nearly every fight but still hangs in there and often manages to get a finish.
And on the other hand fighters like for example:
Ellenberger
Arlovski
Rashad
Whose chins nowadays just give up, it's like they get hit and you can see how the will to fight just goes away, and I'm not sure if that's confidence or not because I don't doubt that they have the will to fight, but it seems to be that the fighting instinct went away somewhere along the with chin.
Kind of hard to explain what I i mean but perhaps someone out there gets what I'm trying to say, that there is a physical and mental connection between the will to fight, that's it's like the bodys way of telling you to give up, kind of like a livershot to the head... And that it's accumulative in this case, CTE or whatever.
