I’m on the fence on this one. Just wanted to note the reffing inconsistency. I don’t think anyone would dispute the illegal strike(s) in the Vitor/Akiyama fight. Anyone want to take a guess who ref’d that one? =P Does the timing (i.e. after a fighter has opponent hurt) completely nullify the idea of an illegal blow? Apparently so.

come on. there clearly were shots to the head. not just one. if you listen to Joe when he’s pointing out the blows, he’ll say “okay, that was to the side. pause. that was legal. pause. that was legal. pause.” everytime he paused the shot was to the back of the head. why dont joe point out the shots to the back of the head. sure, its easy to say when you see the fight in slow motion, in real time, its a judgement call. and there has been too many shots to the back of an opponents head. i.e. belfort vs akiyama. maybe this “controversy” will bring more attention to these illegal blows.

People on this website cannot agree on the result after seeing slow-mo replay multiple times from different angles. How can anyone say the ref did a terrible job when he had just that one moment the call. I agree that it should be a NC, but in my opinion, most NC’s were awarded not right after the fight stops, but on the next day or so. This will probably not be such case, I guess the UFC cannot do that just like that and there is no commission to do it. Still, no damage to Silva’s career anyway, and not the worst decision by far.

Any strike behind the ear is considered illegal.

Mario has made bad calls in the past, but he made a good call this time.

Rogan is a joke with a Napoleon complex.

“most of them hit the side of the head…”
“…I don’t see any that hit the back of the head”
Slight contradiction there.
Rogan: “I agree” after he JUST said he saw some to the back of the head during the replay.

LOL dude, one of the final blows was a straight shot to the back of the head after he was already warned. I’d say there were a few to the back of the head and at least half of them were questionable.

Parietal runs almost to the back of your ear, which would be considerable to the back of the head. They honestly need to clarify what the back of the head is. Temporal is the ear area which runs out towards the parietal area. Get this s*** down, because tech it was a good call.
