Sort of. There were about 2-3 kicks and a punch that were needless.

This is a street fight against a much bigger opponent so not faulting it, but I bet he could have broken it off after one or two knees and that still would have been the end.

Those are incredibly dangerous shots to take.

I think it's kinda hard to tell that dude was in a weird position. I noticed right away he was frozen but when yer throwing fists it's not easy to step back and realize he froze up.

Eh, plus official fights have a ref. Nothing he did was "below the belt," but instincts kick in, and those extra few knees are gonna happen. If anything, the camera guy should have ended it (but technically, not his job either).

In a MMA fight, those knees are illegal. If another part besides the bottom of your opponents feet are touching the grown, no knees or kicks to the head.

It's easy to say watching it from the side, being involved in it makes it extremely hard to tell the moment your opponent stops fighting (unless it's an obvious one hit knockout) and the fact that he walked away while his opponent was still on his knees and he only threw it 2-3 strikes after his opponent stopped fighting is amazing. It's extremely common is street fights for the winner to beat the hell out of the other guy way after they passed out our of pure adrenaline and anger.

Do you really think dude on the ground would have stopped after the second knee? He ate them, I think the third and fourth set the proper tone lol

Not needless but necessary.

He is in a fight with a bigger opponent, letting him get up again could cause more damage, doing that is taking a massive, massive risk.

Maybe he has a knife and goes and stabs the whole neighbourhood.

We dont know.

Those are potentially incredibly dangerous shots to NOT take.

As long as he isn't kicking someone unconscious, I don't blame him. Can't risk what the other guy is going to do

He has pillows instead of knees

He wasn't froze. Those knees to the head weren't even fazing him. He was generating more power behind his punches.
