[There isn't much time for Rideaux to block that punch considering he's still mid-kick without a way to stop himself on a dime, so he takes the full brunt of it. It causes him to recoil a little more than one might expect. Apparently he really is that accustomed to defending his midsection well, so getting a hit there would normally be pretty bad for him.
Once he recovers, he utters a growl before just coming right at Yuri's face with a punch. It's kind of sloppy, though. He's probably running out of steam at this point and is just fighting angrily without thinking as much.]
