Doctor explains why Paulo Costa's kick didn't drop Robert Whittaker, but Ilia Topuria's punch knocked out Alexander Volkanovski

Two contrasting finishes left fans perplexed at UFC 298. While Robert Whittaker weathered Paulo Costa's head kick despite its visual impact, Ilia Topuria's punch sent Alexander Volkanovski crashing in the main event. In a recent video on YouTube, Dr. Brian Sutterer broke down the physics of momentum behind each strike.

Costa's spinning head kick, despite its viciousness, lacked the necessary momentum transfer to drop Whittaker. "Conservation of momentum," Sutterer explained, highlighting that Whittaker's backward movement negated the full impact of the kick. The force dissipated, resulting in a significant blow but not a knockout.

In contrast, Topuria's right hook landed perfectly on a moving Volkanovski. Sutterer elucidated, saying:

“If we compare that thought to what happened with Volkanovski, we’re going to see the exact opposite here. I’m not sure if it was because Volkanovski was trying to move away from another potential little left hook but what do we see but Volkanovski’s head go into directly where Topuria’s fist is coming..."

"Now Volkanovski’s head, he has momentum going in this direction, velocity coming inward combined with the momentum of Topuria’s fist coming from this side and so that’s going to result in a move violent transfer of energy.”
