Apparently in addition to the bullethole in his leg, they suspected the bone itself was actually broken.

I love a striker who can defend the shoot AND not get baited to sit in a grappler's guard. Awesome fight.

Even knowing he just KOed Craig, seeing him wearing those glasses going,"Jarod Cannonier, come see who the real badass is!" is delightful :allears:

Kinda surprised. Awesome though. Let's make knees to the head of grounded opponents legal if they are proceeded by a backflip.

The rule against strikes to grounded opponents is dumb and should be repealed. Also the knee hit the body not the head.

I mean, certainly side control would dramatically increase in usage.

Ihor definitely ate a little bit of shin to the face there but I don't think he otherwise would have perfectly defended the choke or something.

Yeah it didn't look like his knee hit his head it looked like it hit the top of his chest and then the shin made some contact with the head but it looked incidental and not that hard.

Competitively, sure, it’s hard to argue that that wasn’t going to end that way anyway. But low kicks to the head are illegal for a really good reason, and laundering one through a totally uncontrolled move really shouldn’t be encouraged.
