Man Gets Kicked In The Face

I’m sure Bob Fox has a full breakdown of everyone who got kicked and punched in and around the face area last night coming to Barstoolsports.com soon and very soon, but I just had to make sure people saw this. I’m no MMA expert but that looked like an old fashioned kick to the face from this angle. Seemed rather effective as well. Machida hit Belfort with the old “Look at the birdy” and then promptly delivered a devastating kick to the face, a winning strategy if I’ve ever seen one. Some are calling it the head, others the jaw, but from this semi-grainy video I’m calling it the face. Looks like he got some jaw and also some lower right cheek on this particular knockout blow so I’m going with face. And then for Machida to bow, pop a squat and pray for the recently deceased is an all time move. I get it’s proper respect and all that but it comes off as wildly disrespectful in this instance. Like that wasn’t a fight, it was a scheduled execution and Machida was just carrying out his job. You don’t run around celebrating after you put a horse out to pasture. Just a quick moment of silence and then back to tilling the fields.
