Rashad has been KO'd in sparring many times for sure

[OneGloveGracie]

Texeira is a great puncher but Rashad still dropped too easy from a half decent punch from Texeira which is a sign that he has been dropped many times before and his chin is now weak.

He trains with guys like Spong and Rumble, theres no doubt he's been dropped.

rashad chin has been suspect forever

Rashad's always had a susceptible chin, but the punch that landed was a little better than "half decent"

Hashad glass chin said he got rocked by Holly Holm lmao

Rumble is going to brutally hurt Glover that's for sure.

 

[soulsstealer]

rashad seemed really scared of glover, KO seemed like it was eventuality.

 

[M Raid K]

Or maybe a combination of Teixeira punching like a mule and Rashad not getting any younger?

Means nothing. Hes been hurt plenty of times before in fights

 

[M Raid K]

Rumble is going to brutally hurt Glover that's for sure.

But Glover is not going to back down. He's like a bulldozer, he just marches forward and there's nothing that can stop him.

Do fighters actually go so hard in sparring that they occasionally get KTFO?

 

[The Clinch]

Orrrrr Glover hits pretty fucking hard.

In a spam of three fights he was KO'd by Machida and dropped by both Rampage and Thiago Silva, which is when people started doubting his chin. After those fights, he had a few fights with grapplers who aren't known for their standup/power. (Davis, Ortiz,Sonnen) He was also rocked a few times by Jones iirc.

DHEA Machida cracked that chin a long time ago.

Yep, he rocked him with a standing elbow.

Rashad is also starting to get old. Not every fighter holds up well after 35 and Rashad has been in some wars.
