What a fight while it lasted, Tai drops him lands a right hand as Gane stands, Gane completely recovers and then just, it's scary because if he can take a shot like that and then come back like he did, this is a very dangerous man.

Tai did a great job, those body kicks would have folded many men.

Unfair criticism IMO. Back of the head strikes happen even when you're not trying to throw them. I think the hammerfist hits the back of the head because Tai ducked from pain/trying to dodge. I didn't even notice it in real time. Saw it earlier today in the Weasle's breakdown. At that point in the fight Tai was toast anyway. 


EDIT: Not saying the blow wasn't illegal it obviously was. Just saying I haven't seen enough of a pattern to call Gane dirty.

Thoughts?

This is 50-50 to me. My understanding is that you can strike behind the ear but I can see JDS' argument since it was an elbow strike, could have gotten the back of the head. 8:25 onward for the finishing sequence.

I thought to me in that fight that JDS turned away and the elbow hit him behind the ear

I love JDS but Gane just fighting. Might just be bitter. I don’t know he’s targeting back of the head because guys ducking & dodging and such but definitely some close ones. **** happens all the time.

Also, if you get hit in the back of the head  it your own fault because you shouldn't be in that position, unless your getting pinned down grappling, That why i'm ok with people getting hit on the back of the head unless they're getting pinned. Look at Conor vs Dustin 1 for an example, Conor hit him in the back of the head, But it was Dustin defensive error, Same with Gane vs JDS and Francis vs Blaydes

Also, Gane is getting a title shot next or I'll be pissed, Francis shouldn't just hold the division, Make Francis vs Gane 2 for early next year, Or strip Francis and make Curtis vs Gane for the belt

I say this, I'm usually ok with fighter getting hit on the back of the head  if it because the guy who got hit in the back of the head fault he got hit in the back of the head I.e Gane vs JDS, Conor vs Dustin 1 and Francis vs Blaydes 2 are examples

But, I don't like that one Gane landed on Tai, Gane aim for the back of the head that time, That was the intent of that hammerfist, I say Conor, Gane(vs JDS) and Francis wasn't aiming for the back of the head, That why i'm ok with those one, They're a reason why you can't hit someone in the back of the head, You can paralyzes them as it something to do with the spinal cord

I believe aiming for the back of the head should be illegal, That includes grappling strikes and that hammerfist he landed on Tai, I'm ok with accidental back of the head shots

DamienHandel420 I'm sorry, but what were you actually saying in your first sentence? Because that got me so confused.
