The CURRENT best chins in every division

[achoo42]

FLW: Moreno/Pantoja
BW: Chito/Munhoz
FW: Holloway/Ortega/Kattar/Yair....this is the division of good chins.
LW: Dober
WW: Jingliang
MW: Vettori
LHW: Not sure. I would say Jiri but he gets hurt a lot but recovers well. Maybe Hill or Ankalaev? Idk.
HW: Blagoi Ivanov. Jones' chin was great at LHW but we'll have to see how it holds up at HW.

Raul Rosas has incredible chin.

One of my biggest questions about him is... Can we trust that thing to eat a good strike? He seems incredibly skilled, but if a chin isn't reliable, then you're not going to get too far. I wanna believe in this kid, but I need to know that thing isn't made out of glass first. But luckily for him, it seems like it could be super solid.

Munhoz is a good answer. He's taken shots from the best. While Cejudo has been stopped by strikes, his chin has never let him down. I think Jones is going to start wrestling more, so I doubt he deals with too much trouble standing. Seems like he's going to retire soon, anyways. Paddy seems pretty durable. I wanna believe in his chin. Bruno Silva ate everything Alex served him. That was pretty impressive.

Gastelum is not a WW. He's a MW and I have no idea who has a better chin between him and Marvin, I slightly lean Marvin.

The best chin at WW was hands down Luque for the longest time. Neal sure took that way quick.

Just look at that chin, he looks like he can take Ngannou's uppercut.

I've thought about this too. I mean no harm to the kid, but look at that jaw. It's a massive target, and doesn't seem to sit well on his face.
I feel like, if he got cracked by a good one, it'll shatter.

Volkanovski is a glaring omission from ts FW list. Just saying

Gastelum is not a WW. He's a MW and I have no idea who has a better chin between him and Marvin, I slightly lean Marvin.

Gastelum's so undersized at middleweight that I forgot that he moved up from welterweight a long time ago. In that case the best chin at WW is unquestionably Li Jingliang who has never been knocked out in 17 UFC fights as a striker.

The best chin at WW was hands down Luque for the longest time. Neal sure took that way quick.

Luque was up there but up until Carlos Condit retired no one else had a better chin at WW.

51 pro fights, never knocked out once.

Volk gets clearly buzzed too often to be put amongst the likes of Holloway or Ortega.

 

[achoo42]

Volkanovski is a glaring omission from ts FW list. Just saying

Volk is like prime Edgar in which he isn't particularly hard to hurt, but he recovers lightning fast.

Raul Rosas has incredible chin.

I still don't understand this dude's face. Was he born with certain defects?? Is it a result of fighting?? If so, at such an early age???

Condit has the P4P GOAT chin. Ate flush shots from the hardest hitters at WW for years and just kept coming

 

[achoo42]

Bruno Silva ate everything Alex served him. That was pretty impressive.

And then he got club and subbed by GM3 of all people. Maybe Pereira broke him?

Exactly. Like in the Mendes fight eats 2 bombs and Damm near goes all the way out but shoots back up immediately alert and ready to keep going
