The best head features that would help to take better punches in MMA?

[youngsteinel]

I think having a big beard would certainly help with blocking strikes, so definitely Kimbo Slice

Tank Abbott definitely can take a good uppercut

Tito Oritz not only has a big head that would take punches better, but a less pronounced jaw that would take punches well

I can't think of anyone else, so feel free to weigh in.

It's all about the shape of the skull. Geometry and physics. Lever, fulcrum, load and a force. The further and faster the brain moves, the cleaner the KO.

A post I wish I was smart enough to write, bravo.

Guys with big ass Nick Diaz heads seem to take punches well.

Brian Ortega has a similar head and can take a punch too.

Ugly as it may look , Someone with a deep overbite has a hidden chin so that can be an advantage.


A Big brow ridge can probably benefit as well in impeding eyeball damage.

Some people have thicker skulls which helps.

Fujita for example.

or, if you want something a little more specific that is easier to do a little reading on without getting lost in all there is to say on those topics, google torque (physics definition). Then reflect on how it can be applied to heads and fists lol

Chris Leben’s pumpkin sized head. Same physics as comparing what happens when a big heavy truck gets hit by a small car. The larger mass usually wins.

Came here for that overused Tito Ortiz gif and was severely disappointed
