So even in those fighting sports head butt is only allowed in most rule-less flavour. :roll:
Nothing light.
True, head butts arn't allowed in full contact martial art competitions (or mixed martial art competitions, for that matter). However, I'd rather take a hit from a head butt to the chest than a knee to the face. Zidane should have ignored Meterazzi - but had Meterazzi been playing football instead of being on Zidane's "back" all through the match this wouldn't have happend, and Zidane would have gotten a good "farewell" to the football world.
Zidane lost a point in my book because of the incident, Meterazzi on the other hand lost many more.
Strange logic.. I know.
