Do Nick and Nate Diaz have toughest jaws in the UFC?

[fullspar]

Considering the wars they have been through and the punishment they absorbed, can we say these 2 are up there with the hardest jaws to crack?

Neither have ever been KO'd, they have just 3 TKO's between them.

Sure we have fighters like Jones etc who have been hit hard but never been KO'd, but they have not been hit as much as the Diaz brothers.

Who else has iron jaws like these two?

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

They are up there for sure. Max Holloway is up there as well.
Prior to the Usman KO, Jorge was up there as well. Who knows how his chin is now.

 

[D'z]

Jiri seems to have a chin made of granite too.

 

[surrealworlds]

There has to be statistics on this somewhere. Most hits taken without a KO/TKO?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Up there, but the answer to this question is still Blagov Ivanov who eats punches from Black Beast like they're nothing.

Yeah for sure Max, it was sad to see Jorge get cracked like that

In their prime?

Cabbage, Hunt, Hendo, Penn, Condit, Francis, Max, Nelson and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Good answer, although I don't think Beast landed clean.

He has take big shots from Lewis, JDS, and I think Tai Tuivasa(or some big ole oaf) and never been rocked. Not to mention getting stabbed in the heart and still smashing the dude.

With the way fights are refereed nowadays if the Daley fight happened today it would have been a first round ko win for Daley.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

The Diaz brothers rely more on their cardio/recovery than on their chin. BJ Penn took more and worst beatings and wasn't even dropped once until the Yair fight.

Also the Diaz bros never ate anything like that while not even getting dropped or rocked :

 

[TheMessiah]

The prodigy does

 

[Mammothman]

Carlos Condit, even as washed up as he is he hasn't been cracked yet.

This is the guy that took bombs from Lawler, Woodley, Hendricks, Ellemberger all in their primes.

 

[textwarrior]

For best chin ever, A HW chin by default because of their power but p4p chins there are more than you think.

Someone who always gets overlooked for good chin is Ken Shamrock.

 

[RawDawgBob]

Yes! Cali hard.

 

[Vince Black]

Yes no doubt, kabib also is no joke people, the guy eat punches like doritos

 

[waldywaldy]

Mousasi is up there

Hall caught him with a tripple spinning attack and my dude was still going for the single.

Apart from that he seems to just eat shit flush

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Stipe had a godly chin against Francis and their first fight, the 2nd fight was just brutal which is why imo it's a better knockout of the year than Jiri because how often do you see people being folded like a lawn chair?

 

[ReligiousDiscipline]

The toughest jaw and a small brain = tough to KO.

 

[Epicman1324]

Roy Nelson has the strongest chin and it's not even close.

His chin still held up well against Francis the 2nd time. Yes, he got KTFO, but he had just recovered from another Francis bomb moments prior. 99.9% of fighters go to sleep from the first strike.
