I think it was more a wrestler's instinct kicking in. Sometimes fighters get knocked out but proceeds to take the opponent down (or the ref at times :icon_lol
So, he grabs Vitor's ankle after getting dropped, pounded, headkicked....what was he going to do with it? :wink:
If it was anyone other than Hendo on the receiving end of that kick no one would be saying a word about a bad stoppage.
To believe that having Vitor reign down 30 punches on his head, inside of 5 seconds, would have helped him is like believing in fairy tales.
Same thing Sheilds did to him, or Mir did to Nog :wink:
Or diaz Daley, Or frankie Maynard, or Franklin Wanderlei 2. People recover, crazy shit happens. Not saying it would have, but it could have considering Hendos chin and recovery. Wanderlei, Fejaio, and Fedor all had him hurt and he came back and ko'd them.
What fucking lunatics are saying that was early?
