So right. Just straight up weird from a medical standpoint. Clearly out of it when the bell ended but i thought he was dying.
I think the right call was made but I was there the and the pace of that fight was amazing but he was out when he slammed his head on the mat from the take down that's why he was put in the choke he woke up in the choke and then was put back to sleep but was fighting like a zombie warrior from god of war 3 .
I heard the bell go off and thought it was going to go to decision in Merab's favor. Never heard of a technical submission.. Thanks for the knowledge Chael.
Good way of explaining it Chael ?
You could make an argument for stopping the fight, but since they let it go to the bell they should've given him the L by decision.
Chael you say anything ,which is your charm. You , joe wrestler ,thought he was out ? Find that hard to believe .Out is out , there is no in between. Like a soul leaving a body part time.
If Conor gets stopped in 10 for worry of brain damage, then the ref in this situation should be noticing the dire situation and call the fight. It is no different. Some refs, mostly all of them do not have the balls to make that call. Especially this day in age, where, we are getting new refs everyday who do not know what the fuck they are doing. Its kinda unprofessional by promoters to allow bad inexperienced and no balls referees to determine whether a guy is in danger of possible losing his life. Like last UFC event. They had some new guy I never seen, and he fucked up every single fight. Most of the mistakes go unseen by average viewers, but what I saw was a ref failing to protect downed fighters who were out. That's a major issue. When the most basic things are not being taught to this guys. Like be within a distance to the fighters that you can step in. The fight I'm talking of, the ref was 20 feet away? Guy got knocked out, then takes 5 punches for what? Cause the ref doesn't know what the fuck hes doing.
Btw, the doctor revealed that the first thing he said was "what happened ?",then when told, he attempted to get up. It's the right thing to do btw, if the doctors think you're out, to keep you in that position instead of you attempting to running around.
He knocked himself out on impact of the takedown, so he just continued to move until he could gain his mental status back is what I believe happened
Thank you for not being biased towards your teammate
