Fighter Gets Knocked Out Then Starts Fighting Ref at UFC 286

[@nickzukowski4106]

Can you break down what happened to Mokaev's knee, specifically what sort of long term damage was he risking by not tapping.

[@knucklez3025]

Yes I agree

[@fred_fred_fred]

Agreed

[@Stanky_Foot]

the ligaments in his knees likely have microtears in it now and will cause him worsening pain in the future until he finally blows it in the middle of training/match. Shoulda just tapped, his hype train got derailed anyway he looked like a deer in headlights in that fight but he just had the dagestani genes

[@Youssef-hd5bl]

@@Stanky_Foot how the hell did his train got derailed? if you guys have soo many exceptions on him that you just think he will go there and walk through everybody then that's your problem, not his. the man just keeps showing how good he's and he's still so young.

[@brockjensen2473]

In high school football years ago something like this kinda happened to me. I lost my helmet during a tackle and took another helmet to the head while I was going down. I had a bad concussion and after slowly working myself up to walk off I was wobbly walking to the sideline and the medical trainer saw me and came out to help. When he came over I tried tackling him (more like I attempted to tackle him but I pretty much just fell on him). 3 days later my parents were talking about it and I didn’t remember any of that happening. It was scary knowing I involuntarily did something and had no recollection of. That was the day I realized how serious concussions actually are

[@imthedevilkys536]

I have a similar story. I went head to head during a game. I guess I ran to the wrong sideline and started crying and screaming(😅embarrassed every time i think about it)at their coach. I don't remember any of it, scary stuff

This really is how it should be. Early stop and the fighter can fight again maybe get a rematch, late stoppage they may never fight again.

[@TheGobblersGetback]

Pedestrians and cops need to take this explanation by the doctor to heart….A person gets in an accident that involves head trauma (like a fight,car accident etc;), they may then try to fight you while you’re trying to help them…They may not be intentionally trying to harm you….A firearm presented in those situations adds a different threshold of danger, but cops especially need to view car accidents and such with a little more scrutiny, even if a firearm is simply “near” a person that’s disoriented.

I'm glad you agree with me as far as it not being so obvious that it was a late stoppage. John Annick was very critical of this particular stoppage and I disagree with him.

[@timgroen1995]

Good breakdown. People often think that concussions happen in fights when the fighter goes completely out but many fighters suffer concussions even while winning the fight. Basically, going out doesn't guarentee a concussion and not going out doesn't save you from a concussion. Just a 1 example, when the korean zombie fought Brian Ortega he got hit with a hard spinning elbow that sat him down and he got back up and fought to a decision. After the fight Zombie said in interviews that he does not remember the last 3 rounds of the fight. He 100% got concussed judging from the memory loss but still got up and kept fighting. To sum it up, concussions are weird.

[@thomasfahey8314]

Hey Doctor Brian, could you explain what happend to Mokaevs knee in the leglock? Looked really nasty...

Hi Dr Brian, any thoughts on the management of Edwin Diaz in the Puerto Rico vs Dominican Rep WBC game? It infuriated me that the coaches tried to pick him up and carry him off the field supporting him under the knees, before putting him in a wheelchair, even though it was after the game and there was no rush to move him. Why not just wait for the cart and the medical professionals to handle the situation that they are trained for without potentially causing further injury?

I understood why he let it go when watching LIVE, but man he smacked the back of his head HARD when he went down. I knew he wasn't going to recover. Then watching him try to fight Goddard made me think of that south African boxer who turned towards the ref and started fighting air in the corner then died later from a brain hemorrhage.

[@duckyoutube6318]

Fight fans have seen this before. His mind was still in the moment before he went unconscious. The fight game is very dark.

[@shannonmcstormy5021]

Stopping the fight in order to protect the fighter from harm, if the fighter isn't defending themself, if her or his eyes have glazed over, etc., is a hard call. Stoppages and how fouls are seen, handled, etc., remain one of the largest areas in MMA and the UFC specifically where consistency is the most troubled. That said, it's never or rarely one-sided. Meaning, that if the ref in question doesn't like fence grabbing or eye poking, they will be all over BOTH fighters equally. The ref's in UFC remain some of the best I have seen in ANY sport, with fairness and impartiality not even a question. But the issue is comparing ref to ref in these two areas with the goal being ref's officiating similarly in regards to fouls and stoppages. But they remain, in general, TOP shelf.

[@imhim5197]

Bro when I seen this live I felt like he should’ve stopped it EXACTLY when he did. He got knocked out and the last 2 elbows ripped his face apart.
