Resumen

Este artículo trata de un fenómeno en los deportes de combate denominado “mandíbula de cristal” o “barbilla de cristal”. Es la capacidad de un luchador para resistir golpes en el área de la mandíbula sin caer inconsciente y recibir un KO. El objetivo principal de este estudio es investigar la posibilidad de desarrollar una mandíbula de cristal a lo largo de la carrera de un luchador y si ciertos luchadores están más predispuestos a experimentar nocauts. Utilizando datos de la organización de artes marciales mixtas más grande, Ultimate Fighting Championship, que abarcan desde 2010 hasta 2021, los modelos estadísticos revelan que ciertos luchadores pueden ser más susceptibles que otros a los nocauts. Por el contrario, no se pudo demostrar que la probabilidad de una futura derrota por KO, es decir, desarrollar una mandíbula de cristal, aumentara con el número de KO recibidos. Sin embargo, este fenómeno puede ser objeto de investigaciones más exhaustivas. El entrenamiento de resistencia de golpes en el área de la cabeza, históricamente debatido, no puede recomendarse. Por el contrario, es recomendable observar las reacciones de los boxeadores ante los golpes en la cabeza para identificar a aquellos con mayor predisposición al nocaut. Estos deben ser especialmente cautelosos cuando practiquen deportes de combate.
