@Mad Gavin his chin is gone ? You do realize that even now cowboy is laughably more durable than Joe . Getting knocked out by Conor and Gaejthe doesn’t make you chinny it makes ya human ya dork . Alex Morono caught him clean anybody that gets caught that clean gets hurt . Chinny means you go out you go out stiff face first . Cowboy always gets folded against the cage or stopped trying to wrestle for a single when the ref has seen enough .
