Vettori's chin passed the test again

Just goes to show you how far one S-tier attribute can take you even if you're C level everywhere else.

Marvin is as pedestrian as they get in terms of power, finishing ability and fight IQ but if he's in there, he's almost certainly trying to press you and walk you down til the end.
 
Commentators acknowledged this, said he has a genetic gift in his head structure.

Roy Nelson had two such attributes (chin and punching power) but he never even fought for the belt like Marvin.

Of course, he fought in a better era (Cain, JDS, Stipe, Carwin, Mir, Lesnar, Overeem, etc.) and was a truly undersized (but fat) HW. If he dropped his BMI to that of most MWs, he probably could've fought at 185.

His fight with JDS is still one of the all time gutsiest efforts I've ever seen. Roy tanked bombs nobody else could even remain upright after absorbing.

Shane Carwin never fought mma again after getting carved up like a pumpkin against 2 Saints.

God, I really do miss every single prior decade of HWs more and more each year

Roy has one of the nuttiest HW resumes ever. He fought everybody.

"Junior dos Santos" actually translates to Junior of the Saints. It's Portuguese, motherfucker.

My fave UFC HW run by a mile. That guy showed up with a flame thrower and burned through errbody.
 
He's got that Rocky Marciano durability
Thats about it
 
That's still 4 losses in a row and 6 in his last 8. Might be time to hang 'em up.
There's just been no improvement for his whole career, but he has gotta be in the top 5 of toughest fighters. He eats shots that kill other fighters on the regular.
