Weili's spinning neck chop KO was an accidental illegal strike

[TheMaster]

I know it was supposed to be a spinning backfist but:
1. It connected with the forearm
2. It landed perfectly on the neck. Slight delayed KO was typical for a carotid artery chop

Not saying it should be a no contest and not her fault but it's technically a banned technique...

You cant purposefully aim for the adams apple but theyre never gonna call something like that

 

[beaglepuss]

Striking to the throat is illegal. Striking to the neck is not.

The strike was clearly legal and brilliantly executed.

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Do you have any written sources that its illegal because I couldnt find it?

 

[Bork Neslar]

Yeah. The fight should be a NC.

It's legal?
Holy shit that's news to me.
Weili reppin' that Gung Fu

Yeah should see more fighters throwing massive hooks to the side of the neck, looks like a good technique, wouldn't recommend using the backfist cause it leaves openings.

The forearm landed across Joana's jaw. Do you have eyes?

The only part that is a little sus about it is that the fist made hard impact pretty far back behind Joana's ear, but they're never going to call something like that a strike to the back of the head.

Very slow reaction by joanna though, just waiting to get knocked out like that. No wonder she made that decision. She wasnt much of a wrestler anyways, whomever says otherwise don't know much about mma.

WTF
No we shouldn't. If it's 'legal' that a loophole.
We don't need to see chops and strikes to the neck that shits dangerous as it risks causing a tear to the artery.

If it happens accidently then so be it but an intentional strike? No way

Reminds me a lot of this accidental death in the sport of cricket.

The ball hit his neck and he faceplanted but it tore his artery and he died from internal bleeding.
It should not be legal or encouraged to strike there.

 

[dagfin]

Actually looke like back of the head..

 

[Team SerJoe]

TS had $ on JJ.

Yes it's only the trachea, and the direct back of your head and neck(the width of your spine) that's illegal. Strike was fine.

 

[bigmacbub]

Get your eyes checked TS

 

[HHJ]

There's just some blind strikes that really can't be controlled to that degree.

 

[spinitch]

There is an argument but it was unintentional JJ just moved into it. Weili coyote was winning so it will unlikely get overturned.

there is NO argument. for the love of christ don't make this into a thing. you can hit the neck. it's the same in boxing.

TS clearly has no eyes, was searching to see if someone posted this for response.

a punch to an artery would not render someone unconscious like that, it’s the head trauma that did it. the fist landed right at the base of the jaw.
