I mean he stops immediatelly he KO someone, like with Hunt and with Struve.

Instead most guys just jump to ground and pound.

maybe is a "gentleman" belief from him? Like in the really old days whenever your foe is down you wait until he can stand up?
 
My favorite is the chris tuscherer one, if someone can post the gif, the punch doesnt even look hard but he just knows and walks off like a boss
 
Huntos a very religious christian...no need for him to inflict unncesarry damage, hes a true professional

He's been knocking people out long before the internet, he knows when his opponent is done.
 
In his own words, he says you can "just feel it. I felt his zzzzppht..."



Since he knows how to feel when a guy is knocked out, why does he walk away? Maybe he's very sportsmanlike and knows he doesn't need to inflict any more damage. I think it's this and also his years and years of kickboxing, where he obviously could not follow up with strikes on the ground, so he naturally walks away after he gets a knockdown or a KO, even now in MMA.
 
Yeah the Tuchscherer one is great. I'm not sure if it's confidence, cockiness, class or professionalism; perhaps a little of everyone.
 
he can feel the consciousness getting knocked out of their skull through his hand.
 
I'd imagine it's like when you hit a home run. Everything just feels solid and smooth and makes that nice crisp sound

It was pretty bold for him to do that on a 6 fight skid. If he was wrong and somehow wound up losing that fight, he would have been cut for sure.
 
I think he also just thinks it looks badass. He lands hard and turns away, figuring the dude's probably done. Correct on both counts.
 
I guess everything is just good sport to him nothing personal. And if Hunt walk away and Roy was allowed to stand back up. Same result would happen in a matter of seconds.
 
It's not to hard to know when someone is out, i mean Roy fell and didn't even move his hands to absorb de impact, the same with Struve. And lets be honest, Hendo knew Bisping was out cold.
