not sure the UFC recognizes how lucky it's been to not have had a bad high profile brain/spine injury in the cage. a ref coming up with "well, technically" explanations for a chronic fouler dropping half a dozen elbows on the back of someone's head is going to age v badly one day
I was literally on a face tune with herb dean this morning discussing the ruling. He said the rule is worded incorrectly. Back of the head doesn’t mean back of the head. Alex showed a lot of heart getting back to his feet which is to be celebrated but Gane didn’t cheat.
