That body shot is why I don't worry about a bit of extra belly padding when I spar.

Beautiful, just beautiful.
Some gorgeous fighting that night. Larkin's demolition of Magny's leg, Means' steady breakdown of Homasi, Johnson's one-hit KO of Texeira, a five-round war of a main event, and then there's this. Clean, perfectly timed technique. Cerrone may never hold a title, but the last year has shown that it's not necessarily the best fighter who wears the belt.

That's horrible
Can someone explain to me why this is not just boxing with wrestling or mixed marital arts (I have no experience of either)? Watching the Olympics why doesn't a taekwondo bod get in the ring and kick the opponents head off? Even in bouts at the Olympics and both contestants knowing what to expect they could not stop head kicks which if really followed through would be devastating rather than scoring for points

It's mixed martial arts.
Points sparring is a very different game to 10pt must/KO/submission fighting. When a point is called the fight is reset which means building up the sorts of combinations that tend to lead to KOs is far more difficult. You also need to remember that a kick to the head will need to travel much further than any other legal strike - long enough for an experienced competitor to dodge/parry/counter.

Try it.
"why doesn't a taekwondo bod get in the ring and kick the opponents head off? "
tldr; - punches are faster than kicks.
Longer version:
It's been tried. When "mixed martial arts" was just starting out and purporting to represent what fighting is really like, you would see exactly that - some big gangly TKD player squaring off against a boxer, or a wiry little Wing Chun dude getting in the ring with someone who did Judo or whatever. People tied to a single system of fighting pretty quickly had the weaknesses of that system shown to them. TKD black belts can win fights against other, less skilled TKD fighters... but put them up against someone whose background is grappling, and those big kicks are just handing them something that's easy to grab.
What you see in the cage nowadays is the distilled essence of what actually works under that set of rules (and despite any hype there's a LOT of rules, and they're not all the same so take what follows as possibly over-specific) - and it looks NOTHING like TKD. From what I can make out (and I've never trained in MMA, although my ex's brother was/is pretty good) the things that seem to work are:
- kickboxing, more or less,
- jujitsu, more or less,
- er...
- that's it.
Fundamentally, when standing up you kick and punch like a kickboxer, but unless you can knock the guy out (which is less likely than it is in "normal" boxing because the gloves are thinner so you can't hit as hard) it almost invariably comes down to grappling sooner or later. No amount of TKD training will help when your opponent is choking you unconscious on the ground.

My wife was in the Komsomol and they all went out for the May Day parades in the Ukraine. It rained and the rain left strange yellow dust covering everything, and they were tasting it to see what it was. A Belorussian teacher giving a lesson noted high radiation levels and people started talking, so a couple of days later the government announced that there had been a nuclear accident in Holland. All this time they were sitting on stockpiles of Potassium iodide, but the government chose to poison their people rather than admit that they had fucked up.
Last year my wife was diagnosed had thyroid cancer. If I could line up every faceless official who contributed to this huge betrayal of their people, and line them up against a wall, I'd shoot the lot of them and feel not a shred of remorse.

Just checked my previous cars
Pleased to see that the last one is still running, with 115k on as of Sept last year and no advisories other than tyres.
Frankly though, I'm shocked to find that my first car was still on the road until December last year, although it sounds like it was on its last legs:
Reason(s) for failure
Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)
nearside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)
nearside front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)
Advisory notice item(s)
excess travel footbrake
offside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
nearside door mirror missing

I sold my last car to a cunt.
I said to him "I know it needs some stuff doing. If you wait a week, I'll get a new MOT put on it."
Instead, he was being really pissy. I told him that if he wants, it can be sold as seen, and he can be responsible for any work.
He took me up on that. Below is the report from a month later.
Reason(s) for failure
nearside front Headlamp not working on main beam (1.7.5a)
offside front Windscreen wiper not operating over a large enough area to give an adequate view (8.2.1c)
offside front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)
Advisory notice item(s)
nearside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
nearside rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
offside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
