Joe Rogan and Jorge Masvidal both want to see a universally-banned move in the UFC changed and it'd be a game-changer.And had rabbit-punching been allowed when Masvidal was in the UFC, then he could've had an even more successful career.
"Perfect example Dustin Poirier versus Conor , he hit him three times in the back of the head solid and then he goes limp. "What the f**k? Is it the referee's discretion now who can hit in the back of the head and who can't?"Rogan also referenced Ciryl Gane's victory over Junor dos Santos, where he landed a stinging strike which hit the back of the Brazilian's head."Like Ciryl Gane and Junior dos Santos, he kind of hit him with an elbow in the back of the head. It should be legal, I don't understand why it's not legal," he added.
"If you have his back and the head is there then all this punching just to the side is not realistic."Nasir Jabbar is a journalist at SPORTbible.
