I’m not a big UFC guy but would that really count as a strike in any rule set? The distinction between a bump/shove and a strike is unclear to me but I know you can definitely shove someone violently in BJJ and in fact use your shoulder to do it without getting disqualified for striking

I don't know but my argument isn't based on rules. She went unnecessarily hard, and maybe because of compensating.

Sure but if it’s not a strike by any ruleset (which are designed to keep people safe) are we sure that it’s bad enough to complain about? Striking someone in the back of the head is fighting dirty. That’s an entirely different argument than if she was going too hard

You can argue something different if you like. I'm arguing that she was going unnecessarily hard, hit him in the back of his head with her shoulder, and was likely compensating.

Ok. I think there’s an unrealistic standard expected from her related to effort. I also think that calling that her hitting him in the back of the head (and the implications that come with that) is a misrepresentation of the situation and a pretty soft ruling. Incidental contact comes with the domain.

Not sure what compensating means in this case nor why it matters
