ONE Championship, the world's largest martial arts organization, has produced some of the most exciting fights across different combat sports. From MMA to submission grappling to kickboxing and Muay Thai, the Singapore-based organization has some of the toughest and most entertaining fighters on its roster.

Speaking of toughness, perhaps the most awe-inspiring intangible aspect of fighting aside from knockout power is the proverbial iron chin. It's a fighter's ability to absorb and withstand a crushing blow to the jaw and act like it didn't hurt.

Just look at how ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang ate that looping left hook from Demetrious Johnson and acted like it was nothing:

Today, we rank three of the toughest and strongest chins in ONE Championship. These are the kind of fighters you can hit with a telephone pole across the head and would happily goad you into hitting them again.

With that said, let's get on with the list.


#3. ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai warrior Liam Harrison

If you want to know just how tough Liam 'The Hitman' Harrison is, all you have to do is watch his fight against Muangthai PK. Saenchai at ONE 156 in April. It showcased not just Harrison's iron chin, but also his iron will. This man just won't stay down.

Harrison survived two frightening knockdowns only to come roaring back to knock Muangthai down three straight times and earn a TKO victory. The most shocking thing about this is that it all happened in one round. It's one thing to survive being nearly finished within minutes, but to survive and still be dangerous enough to knock the other guy out is just out of this world.

Not only that, but Harrison has only been knocked out once with a headshot in his 23-year career. Considering that he fights like a firefighter - the kind who would run into the fire in order to put it out - it goes to show how tough Harrison truly is.
