“He’s been knocked down by Chandler, Poirier, Gaethje, but he’s always gotten back up. That hasn’t happened since, not with Beneil (Dariush), not in the second fight with Chandler. If you get hit, you’re a little fragile, right? Like, these are the best of the best. He took a right hand and dared to stumble. Everybody at that level, if you get hit, actually, I’m more willing to say, not having a chin like that Nate diaz is (Charles') anomaly,” Din said on the One on One program.
Following his speech, Thomas chose to backtrack and reconsidered the level of Do Bronx's 'fragility'.
“I think his chin is generally normal. He’s dealing with big punchers in big fights. The problem is he’s dealing with a guy who has the kiss of death. And if he gets knocked out, we’ll say, ‘See, I told you he was fragile.’ But I don’t necessarily believe he’s actually fragile in one sense. He’s dealing with guys who are killers, who have killer instincts and one-punch power.”
