Mark hunt is a prime example of how it's bullshit when fighters say that unnecessary follow up blows are unstoppable because of "fighter instinct".
The follow up hammer fist spam after a clear KO always pissed me off. I'm glad to see great sportsmanship from Hunt.
Is it just me or does there seem to be a pattern with guys from striking backgrounds less likely to give needless followup? most obviously Chute Boxe comes to mind dispite there general violence I can't recall too many situations of needless punishment.
If you were being uncharitable you could say that perhaps the US jock wrestling mentality has less responsibility, otherwise perhaps the training environment being more brutal at places like Chute Boxe means fighters tend to be more level headed in the ring/cage? the same way Chite Boxe fighters were always great at making the correct decisions when following up on a hurt opponent for the finish.
