Yeah, this was another thing -- I couldn't really tell how bad it was because I was watching it online. It looked like there were at least two hard blows right to the back of the head.
He was out for a split second but popped back after the back of the head punches. I think Herb Dean saw him drop and rushed into quick in the guard right as Fedor was turning around to start defending himself. This was a fight of 2 legends, Herb Dean should've given them the benefit of the doubt..
I'm just sad I didn't put a little money on Hendo considering Fedor was the heavy favorite. I was so close to doing so.
I watched the fight several times, Fedor was def out. Back of the head punches meant nothing, he was O U T beforehand. I would have liked to have seen a longer fight, but did want Hendo to win. That move he made while in trouble was fantastic.
Man, its amazing how fast a person loses it. Fedor was the king for a long time. I guess age and the Russian lifestyle finally got to him.

Fedor was lights out for a second there and faceplanted.. Think the punches after woke him up. Either way the stoppage was legit, but could've left it longer.
I don't think he was out cold the entire time. Usually someone that's been flash KOed has their legs go limp. If you look you notice his legs are still moving even while his face is on the mat. He was just pinned in an awkward position and was trying to flip himself on his back.
Was this a heavyweight fight?? Now that Henderson beat Fedor should he be considered one of the best lbs for lbs fighters of all time??? Also is he of Latino heritage because he's pretty tan and I have a friend who is Mexican that looks like Henderson....
It was a heavyweight fight. Henderson came in at only 207 pounds. He was already a legend, but this adds to his legacy tremendously. He has wins over Big Nog and Fedor in addition to his many championships. His skin tone comes from some Native American ancestry.
Fedor's arms were limp and his eyes were closed with his cheek against the mat like he was sleeping. I don't blame Herb Dean for stopping it, how was he supposed to know Fedor would regain consciousness so quickly? Very tough call to make.
