Has Shogun ever been seriously rocked?

I've only seen a handful of his fights (maybe 5-6) and was just wondering recently about how good his chin was.

He easily has one of the best chins in mma. He's been hit hard, and he walks through the shots like nothing happened. I've seen every one of his mma fights, and I can't recall him ever being rocked.

Thanks, Chorky.

As I was looking at his losses, none of them seemed to be ones where he took a beating. The Coleman loss was a freak accident (saw that one), the Forrest loss was him being worn down by Forrest due to him not being completely right after the long layoff, and the first Machida fight....well, we all saw what happened there.

I know nothing of how the Babalu fight went.

Lil Nog rocked him.

Overeem might have rocked him too. Need to rewatch both fights.

Overeem definitely didn't rock him. He hit him with some good knees, but Shogun walked right through them. Then there was a decent upkick that hit him, but that didn't seem to bother him too much. I forget the Lil' Nog fight, I'll have to watch it again too.

Found the Reem fight on youtube but it had been removed via Zuffa ko.

Nog, Overeem and Machida in Chorky's gif have all hurt him. I am a firm believer he drops and shoots for the takedown because Machida stunned him there.

I dont think Machida rocked him or stunned him I think he hit him with a good shot and shogun saw an opening after the knee to try a takedown. Just my opion.

His chin? very strong. His throat? not so much

This.

lil nog did, that was a hell of a fight.

Forrest would get smashed by Rua now.

I think every1 thought Forrest would get smashed the 1st time also! U never know. Ok he will get smashed LOL.

i honestly think he has the best chin around, he ate a bunch of bombs from lil nog and just shook em off, the second reem fight he took some shots as well and just plowed threw the guy...

That battle wear catches up to you eventually. Remember when Liddell would get hurt in every battle he was in? Eventually you lose the ability to survive the firefight while your opponent wilts.

Nice sig Killer, one of the sickest playoff dunks all-time
