"It took him 5 rounds and 400 punches to finish Mark Hunt"

He just slept Werdum hard as fuck with a single punch while moving backwards
 
This is about the third mma moving-backwards ko I've seen.
Others incl. Silva vs. Forrest Griffin.
 
Werdum did rest his head on his fist before going to sleep

Yes, managing to finish Hunt is proof positive of being pillowfisted because he falls to a stiff breeze.
 
Lolz there's only ONE word to describe those people and I will spell it out for ya, S-A-W-F-T saaaawft. :D
 
They were saying the same thing about Holly Holm.

The things is, Werdum was running forward into punches just like Ronda.
 
Werdum doing all those troll faces loosened his face muscles

Exactly. It's not so much about power as it is about timing and accuracy. If you got a guy coming forward at full speed you only need a fraction of the power to take him out compared to a guy who is actively leaning back or backing up on your shots.

Hell, even Mac Danzig got a KO when his man was running straight on to his fist:

DISCLAIMER: Not saying Stipe doesn't have power - of course he does - I'm only saying that it's not just the power that matters.
 
The Roy Nelson fight is the epitome of Steep's style. He doesn't throw full power.
 
That punch was not about power, didn't have to be. Werdum did half the work for him.

Silva Vs Forrest is a bad example. That wasn't a Ko that was forrest preteding to be Ko'ed.. He forever lost me as a fan that day

This is not that common but it can happen because the force of 2 objects moving towards eachother has a big impact.

If a car drives into a wall at 60 mph, it's like 2 cars driving into eachother at 30 mph

Werdum's face was like a car going 30 mph toward another Car going 30 mph (coming from the other direction) that was Stipe's Fist

love your sig btw
 
Im a firm believer pillowfists are bullshit. If you have the muscle/strenght (like Stipe has), im posivite you can finish anyone at any time. Its just a question of strategy and focus. Some just choose to be more cautious and go for combos. Were they throwing haymakers, theyd get them KOs too.
 
No fighter that weighs 240 pounds is pillow fisted
 
next week he will be promoted as the baddest man on the planet :rolleyes:
 
he saw it coming right before., but didn't believe that Werdum would do this again, but here we go, "I'm the champ!
