Look of disbelief? No Matt was just waking up lmao

[@wasabi5338]

yeah he was like "what happened, what now?" and the people on the corner were like "you won lol"

[@cplbird8179]

He always made me question the validity of the win. If Matt was unconscious before Matt slammed him did Matt lose? Officially, I assume Matt would still be be the winner because the ref had not stopped the fight yet..

[@sayville_silver]

They both were out. One of the very rare times it's going to happen.

[@DJLeroy3]

Yeah it looked like it took Hughes a while to even realize he won

[@Godly_Nose]

I wouldn’t say that he was more confused why ref stopped it until he realized other dude was out, if Matt really was out he ain’t instantly jumping up and around the cage like that.

[@olegghb]

@@Godly_Nose how can you be confused? Si el árbitro para por algo será, pero no, mira sus brazos después del SLAM, acaso buscan al rival? No así que está ko. Traductor si te apetece

Look at Matt's hands. He was out too! He just woke up before Newton.

[@MrJuhs91]

Yeah that an the judge can see precisely the milli second Newton was out, and he dont even realize Matt is out becouse he has his back to him. crazy situation LOL

Damn, Matt was out but Big John wasn't even looking at him and didn't even realize Matt was out too! He was only looking at Newton and trying to figure out if Newton was out. Matt got away with one there. Took him a while to wake up and realize he just won.

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

Carlos was asleep. Matt was maybe a second away from it. That first slam was some good shit though. Idk how he was still conscious. That triangle was deep asf

[@Bluepickles333]

I been saying that for years. Matt was out also. You can see from another angle his hand goes limp and then he flexes it before the fight is called. Should have been a no contest or allowed to continue.

[@filthycasual8580]

@@Bluepickles333 Matt was out for a WAY shorter span of time lmfao I agree with the decision.

[@Bluepickles333]

@@filthycasual8580 agreed he was but when both dudes get knocked out at the same time 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe I different decision should have been made. Doesn’t really matter what we think now though can’t go back and change history

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

@@Bluepickles333 when the fight was stopped Matt could keep fighting, not for long but he was still conscious and aware of the fight. Carlos was sleeping on his back from that slam. He had that triangle in deep and could have had Matt asleep sooner but he also tried to cheat holding onto the cage (this is back in the day tho when rules are really wish wash) but that’s a win for Matt

[@LucieOne]

Used to absolutely love Carlos Newton. One of the most exciting and dynamic grapplers ever in mma.

[@billturner4171]

He was robbed

[@a.j.rusinek8856]

100%! His fights with Sakuraba, Pele, Miletich and Renzo Gracie are some of my personal favorites in the sport.

[@mikedelvecchio3193]

U wouldn’t get an insane once in a lifetime finish like that if u weren’t an interesting fighter

[@alexcruz2631]

I remember when he would do the DragonBall screech after each win

[@ashb4275]

​@@billturner4171 Except he wasn't though. ​​If you go out and then drop your opponent, knocking him out in the process and thus releasing the choke and wake back up, then you're able to continue fighting. Carlos wasn't able to continue fighting. Legit win for Hughes. If that were a fight in the street what do you think happens after Hughes wakes up? No robbery here.

[@janmejay.]

Carlos : Holds the cage to prevent himself from the slam Big John: No no, you can't do that, you've to create history, you've to BECOME history 😂😂

[@irishscience580]

early ufc fighters were roided out of their minds

[@Es_Don_Val]

[@malchaamahraahwaban7213]

Mat Hughes got choked out by that Triangle and collapsed, Knocking Carlos Newton out. That's exactly what happened in this particular match.

[@Chopan8809]

He did have it on there tight

[@mist2498]

"Collapsed"??? 🤦🏻‍♂️ he slammed the guy and in the act slammed himself unconsious.. hes talked bout it already many times over

[@amzofficial8868]

Did matt go out for a sec 😂 looks like he did

[@perfectjays]

@@amzofficial8868 yeah, he went out first and slumped down but it looked like he tried slamming Carlos but since Matt went limp it was all dead weight onto Carlos’s back/back of head and knocked him out instantly also and his legs loosened up when he went out and you can see Matt’s arms are limp also and he wakes up because the choke got released and is confused. I know now days theirs a rule for something like this only if they get knocked out at the same time I believe whoever gets up first or if one of them can get up first possibly wins idk how true that is tho

The best slam next to Rampage's Arona powerbomb. Matt was out in that 2nd slam though.

[@RagingCookie127]

Hughes was out, that's why he was confused over the fact he won. It's not based on "can you get up and continue", plenty of fighters get knocked out and recover after a couple of seconds. Using "casual" is lame af by the way.
