I remember watching the GSP fight and seeing Serra's punch land on the back of GSP's head. GSP's rock solid chin disappeared. However a strike to the back of the head is illegal.
Watching the replays, Brocks punch was clearly on the back of the skull, not saying it was INTENTIONAL but the result is obvious.
Before you complain, if someone is double legging and i punch them on the back of the skull it is illegal and they get a warning or a break. Why is this not so standing?
Hard to say. You could say that anytime somebody gets caught.
here we go...
Woah, that GIF looks fishy- neither of those punches landed.
Looked very much similar.
No. Brock showed himself to be a better fighter, imo. Serra just looked to get lucky and take out a guy he never have beaten otherwise.
He landed to the temple, which is perfectly legal.
In any case, if the opponent ducks right into it, tough shit if it lands on the back of the head.
Gonzagas knee hit his nose on the way down. The gif has been posted thousand times. Randy did however headbutt Vitor and made him look like Vitor Christ
It wasn't on the temple, it was behind his ear close to the back of his head. I am pretty sure it was a legal shot though.
legal punch
mohawk rule, perfectly legal punch
yes he was hit behind the ear, headphone rule
looks like it to me
nobones - It was on the temple. And Randy kind of ducked into the punch anyway very hard to tell he even got hit if you are standing on the other side of the punch.
And if you're going to bitch about the punch, which was legal, why not bitch about Randy's blatantly illegal headbutt to Gonzaga? CREzja1 is right.
QFT, and confirmed by Randy's post Gonzaga fight interview.
Some people need a refresher course on where the temple is.
Lesnar's 4XXXXL hand is so big his fist covers the temple and the back of the ear.
i blame Bud Light, Bush, the Jews, Muslims and Jebus
awesome ppv though
thankx Satan!
to the ear/side of the head
