Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan has suggested that strikes to the back of the head should be allowed.
"I'm not sure if hitting the back of the head should be banned - it doesn't make sense to me and it should be allowed. If you discuss the matter with a neuroscientist, he'd say it's a particularly vulnerable area. But isn't it the temples? Isn't it the eyes? It's just as vulnerable," Bloody Elbow portal quotes Rogan as saying.
