    I have never seen anyone take punches as poorly as sotiropoulos. Not just his chin but his balance is off as well, if he gets hit clean he will either get dropped from his china chin or he will go flying cause he is off balance.

    We are talking about 145lbs here too for focks sake. He took one punch from focking ross pearson and he was moving like freddie roach for the rest of the round.

    Possibly the worst chin in combat sports.

      Pearson is known to be one of the hardest hitters at Alliance MMA, though his record doesn't reflect it.

      I was personally impressed with GSot. I figured he would have gotten knocked out the first time, but he managed to survive.

      Yeah, his chin isn't great, but I wouldn't list it amongst the worst. Being a bit loose footed doesn't mean his chin is amongst the weakest, lying on the mat unconscious after 1 punch does.

                u just can't teach that Armenian asshole anything. He thinks he is some type of god of mma. He is just an unreachable ass clown who thinks he is smarter than everyone else because he calls them stupid Defact u remember when that killer Tommy Speers knocked out that china chin? You are so right about his balance. It will take Gabe another couple of fights to figure out Georgy boy can't take a punch and then he will prolly go on another site and tell everyone about G Sot chin. The Armenian ass hat is a terrible judge,a terrible judge of talent. He is the Cecil People/Brandon Lang of the SBR MMa Section.

                  Hector Lombard jumped out to an early lead at UFC on FX 6, and fellow middleweight Rousimar Palhares never recovered before suffering a first-round TKO loss.

                  But Palhares' reps said there's a reason the fighter quickly faded.

                  According to a statement sent to MMAjunkie.com(www.mmajunkie.com), the submission specialist suffered ligament damage and broken bones in his right foot after throwing an early-fight kick.

                  Lombard (32-3-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Palhares (14-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) fought in a featured bout at UFC on FX 6. The event's main card, which took place at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Queensland, Australia, aired on FX this past Friday in the U.S. (Saturday in Australia due to the time difference).

                  After trading early low kicks with the former Bellator champion, Palhares shows little additional offense. Lombard scored two knockdowns and ultimately forced a stoppage with punches at the 3:38 mark of the opening round.

                  "During the fight, my kick was working well," stated Palhares, who went to the hospital immediately after the fight. "But soon in the first round, one of my kicks hit Lombard's shin below his knee. I heard a snap, and I knew something bad happened.

                  "From that moment on, I [started] feeling my foot more and more numb and without strength to walk around the octagon. It was a very complicated situation. I went through something similar in the fight against Jeremy Horn when I broke my hand during the fight."

                  A hobbled "Toquinho," who soon became an easy target for Lombard's heavy blows, is still unable to return to Brazil and will need another doctor's consultation, according to his trainer, MMA notable Murilo Bustamante.

                  "What happened, happened," Bustamante stated. "He is a great athlete and will overcame to be back up. The entire team of the UFC has done a great good job since the first medical care [in] the arena of the fight. The hospital staff also made all necessary effort getting imaging tests with 'Toquinho,' and from then on, we started treatment immediately. His right foot is still very swollen. We still do not have prediction of when he will be able to go back training."

                  The 32-year-old Palhares was on a 6-1 run in the UFC, which included a string of heel-hook and kneebar submissions, before his current back-to-back knockout losses to Alan Belcher and Lombard.

                    So was Pearson's assistant boxing coach dropping Soti during the show, true?
