Fighters who’ve complained about stoppage but were clearly KOd or finished

Half of sherdog is making fun of those guys, while they never had a concussion nor a fight in their life.
We should go light on people while their brains are not working.

Knocked out a buddy of mine accidentally with a throw in sparring. Because he was too dumb to fall like a human being.
He asked me what happened over 20 times for the next 3 hours. No short time memory working at all.
Visited him the next day, didn't know what happened and that I told him 20 times already. Never remembered what happened till today, only knows it from people telling him.
 
Ferguson against Gaethje. Cruz against Cejudo.

Agreed. I can't judge fighters who protest right after a stoppage; they're concussed and full of adrenaline and endorphins. Of course they think they can keep on fighting. It's the ones who rewrite history afterward that make me laugh. Someone upthread posted a shot of Tiki vs. Lawler and that's the perfect example, because for years he called it a "cut stoppage," as if the cut didn't come from getting his face punched in. <45>
 
Colby.




I’m not a fan of colbys, but I don’t think this is a good example based on the criteria outlined in the op

Dropped twice with a broken jaw, still thought maybe he could win via decision. <45>

to be fair, he never went out even for a second, he was still moving and protecting himself with his arm and hand and about 80% of the punches on the ground were clearly to the back of the head, I’d say he has a valid argument that it was a bad stoppage, especially with 1 minute left in the fight.
