UFC 174 Results: 10 Things We Learned

8. Talk Of Weak Chins Is Just That - Talk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfA6FJu6mA Remember Glass-jaw Schaub? Remember how Andrei Arlovski's career was over due to his glass chin and 4-fight losing streak? Forget it. The talk is just that - talk. Look, these guys hit hard. They're 225lbs and up. Any single heavyweight fighter can knock his opponent out on any given night under the right circumstances. Some of it comes down to chance; the wrong move by an opponent, at the right time. Schaub and Arlovski both took some shots. Were they Big County right hands or JDS style boxing combos? No. However, Schaub finished the night with what was likely a broken jaw. He fought right through that. That tells you something - all this talk of glass chins is generally overrated. Forget it.
