But MMA fans online are claiming Hernandez acted in an 'unsportsmanlike' way as he appeared to go for a glove touch before the start of their contest.
He seemed to offer his hand before connecting flush on Topp's chin with a devastating head-kick, which immediately slept his opponent.
Hernandez then landed a hammerfist for good measure before the referee jumped in to halt the bout.
He celebrated by hopping on top of the cage as he cut an animated figure. To his credit, he then checked on his stricken foe.
