Forehead punches are fight ending. Is it a new offensive weapon (Chandler vs. Bendo)?

[Not A Real Fan]

A few weeks back there was controversy over a late stoppage by Herb Dean. What was overlooked in that fight was the actual strike that KO'd Jai Hebert. It was a punch to the forehead.

Chris Weidman was stopped by Jacare with a forehead punch as well.

Yes Chandler did knock Bendo down with a straight left. But Bendo was still conscious. It was the followup forehead punch that faceplanted him out cold.

Are we going to see more forehead punches?

It's a move that needs 'skin cream' power.

Was that punch fight ending?

No a knockdown that Lamas never fully recovered from and got put away not long after.

Makes sense. That shot would rattle your brain, more so than the jaw. The behind the ear has that same jello effect on the brain.

Chandler already hits very hard for LW and Bendo was dropped hard. I don't think the bonk itself was the full ender.

Just the idea of punching someone's forehead hurts my hands

 

[Druken_Vovchanchyn]

you have a better chance of breaking your own hand then you do landing a knock out.

Chandler hits hard but Bendo was not out until the forehead punch.

Its probably the worst place to punch somebody, it's probably the hardest part of your head

Can someone provide a gif of Chandler v. Bendo?

If you like breaking your hand on the hardest part of the head it's a great tactic.

 

[Voodoo Dahl]

Probably only gets a knockdown if people think they ducked the punch...

 

[Viking Power]

Nobody aims for it. Who wants a broken hand?

Did Trinaldo or Jacare break their hands? No doubt hitting the hardest part of the head must hurt but it seems to get the job done.

vitor belfort v franklin is the furthest back i can remember

*Breaking* - Sherdogger discovers that blows to the head cause knockouts.
