Hunt hit Mir in the back of the head ! (pics)

[Coffee79]

It was not intentional, but what the hell - the KO punch was a clear shot to the back of the head. I hate when shit like this happens.

I am not convinced Hunt is the better fighter if he won in a way that is deemed illegal if done intentionally.

But I know you many of you love to hate on Mir and want to see him fall, so you'll probably just excuses this obviously fluke win.

Not the back of the head. Imagine a strip of masking tape running down the middle of the head and then down the spine. That's what the back of the head is.

It was behind the ear. In stand up, that shouldn't be a thing to complain about, bro.
A lot of KO's happen that way. Even more so when it's a high kick.

Mir's head went down - not to the side. Look at this post-strike hit and where Mir's head is !

This one is flipped around, but you can see it is clearly a shot to the back of the head.

It's clearly not illegal.

No.

 

[KONE]

No.

 

[Coffee79]

No.

it's coming from up down town, and well behind the ear.

Frank's equilibrium was off kilter as is the case whenever you get hit in the back of the head.

Clean shot behind the ear

You are wrong. Let it go. Shots to the ear area also fuck Up equilibrium.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

not illegal if the opponent is turning away to defend. Reffs make that clear

Who gives a fuck

yeah, who gives a fuck about the rules in MMA

I hate when troll posting shit happens - whether it's this or your War Room stuff.


Strikes behind the ear and/or back of the head are never, ever called when the fighters are both standing.

You know this and you're just looking to see if you can stir shit up.

Clearly not in the 2" strip

Glove is touching the ear.
That makes it legal.

Also in a situation like this, the onus would be on Mir, meaning he caused the illegal strike. So that actually goes against Mir, not Hunt.
