Apparently Shimada was actually telling him "Low Kick! Low Kick!" as in, "go ahead and kick this guy in the head, it's cool." OneFC had (maybe still has?) some weird ruleset where you have to wait for the referee's permission to kick a downed opponent. The fighter said he felt really bad about it afterwards http://www.mmafighting.com/news/2012/6/26/3118813/one-fc-4-zorobabel-moreira-roger-huerta-soccer-kick-knockout-did-not-want-to-mma

Yeah, a fighter needs permission to throw kicks to the head of a downed opponent it's really weird. More weird considering like someone else said, most kicks to the head of a downed opponent are usually after someone's already been dropped. In fact I think Reece Mclaren is the only fighter to survive a soccer kick to the head in One FC, or he might be the only fighter to take one and still win the two are probably connected.

If you want a vision of the future...
Headbutts are legal in combat sambo and you do see the rare headbutt KO and they're loving awesone. Probably a terrible idea in a sport without headgear though. Still, I'd like to see headbutts to the chest be legal to give guys an extra option against closed guard.

I'll tell you something as well, another possible opponent that hasn't been spoken about, and I was with him a couple of nights ago in New York. I bumped into him in New York and we got talking - Nick Diaz. Yeah, he's like, ‘Man, we should fight, we should fight.' I'm like, ‘Yeah, I'm down to fight you no problem.' And then he says, ‘But we have to do it at 178.' I'm like, ‘What do you mean 178?' Yeah, yeah, he said we do a catchweight at 178. I'm like, ‘Let's just do 185.' He's like, ‘Nope. 178.' So anyway, I had a good time with Nick, by the way, we had a couple of drinks and hung out, he's a good dude.

[...]

I don't know, he didn't elaborate and to be honest I'd had a couple of drinks, so I didn't really think to ask the question [about the catchweight]. He definitely wanted to fight at 178, which is kind of a curious weight. But there you go, there's another potential name.

No.

Between Hendo, GSP, and Diaz it's crazy how Bisping could totally spend the next year defending the championship against opponents most people would wanna see while completely avoiding fighting anybody in the top 5 at mw.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see it look like the version of Diaz/Condit that Diaz fans have constructed in their imaginations

I do want to see Conor perform much better in the rematch for a few reasons, but I'm kind of concerned when he thinks Diaz was only one or two strikes away from being finished. It just sounds like he's gonna fall into the same traps of loading up on power shots & gassing cause he thinks Nate is close to being finished when Nate and Nick are almost never "one or two shots from being done."

Imagine if both Diaz held the titles at the same time.

How close would Nate be to a title shot if he beats Conor again? Would UFC ride on his popularity and give him an immediate shot?

It really should go to Khabib at this point, but if Eddie Alvarez takes the belt from RDA then really anybody coming off some big wins would be fine. Nate wouldn't have any more or any less of a claim than like a half dozen guys at LW.

RDA vs Khabib 2 makes more sense than RDA vs Diaz 2, however, even if one is way more likely to do better on PPV than the other.

Is this a trick question? i dont really care one way or the other, the division is kinda crappy now and Bisping earned the title on a couple weeks notice, if he wants to do some weird vanity fight or fight Dan henderson im cool with that

For sure, the fight is meaningless. I enjoyed the first fight and I'm sure I'll enjoy the second one. I threw that question out there because well, we all that sometimes title shots aren't given on merits. There's plenty of dudes for RDA but I don't think it any of us would be shock if Diaz got it.
