I really only count 2 significant blows to the head. If you follow along with my sig from the beginning, I'll tell you what I see:

1st hit - Back of the neck (I'm not sure if that's legal or illegal?)
2nd hit - Side of the head
3rd hit - Side of the head
4th hit - Back of the head
5th hit - Back of the head
6th hit - Side of the head
7th hit - Side of the head
8th hit - Back of the neck

If the back of the neck is illegal then I stand corrected. I would also like to point out the shots in the gif that drop and put out Cote are legal. The second shot slumps Cote down which is 100 percent clearly to the side of his head. And then the 6th and 7th shots slump him down even more which both were to the side of the head.

How are these side of the head shots illegal but the following not?

Behind the ear shot

Behind the ear shot

Back of the head stoppage

Blatant back of the head stoppage

Side of the head, followed up with back of the head

And I could go on and on. Some consistency would be nice. I mean hell there are Google searches devoted solely to Vitor's back of the head shots.
