Yeah agreed. Been meanin to say something about all the chin bullshit.

Fact is a few fights ago against Chuck, everyone raved about Wanderlei's amazing chin for taking those blows.

I think if there's one thing we've learned in recent months it's that all the great chins can be cracked as seen by Nog nearly KO'd, Hunt KO'd or nearly KO'd (didn't see this fight i not sure), Fujita KO'd, etc.

There's sweet spots, and unlikely shots that will crack even the greatest chin.

All that said Wandy's chin has never been amazing, but it's definitely not been "exposed" or any other bullshit because of the devastating blows that have put him down in recent fights.
