Summary/Cliffs Swanson lands a hard body shot Moments later Swanson lands an overhand right Olivera eats the punch...then after a delay...awkwardly falls to the ground, but still looks alert and able to defend himself Its simply a hard knockdown However, fIght it immediately stopped even though Oliveria is not out cold Oliveria then begins rolling around on the ground, looking like he had a seizure or something. Despite him never being unconcious...he lays on the ground the whole time, during the decision annoucement and post fight interview Cub doesnt look concerned at all...normally after a brutal KO...victors check on the status of the fighter thatn was KO The whole occurrence just seems very bizarre...almost like Oliveria took a dive or just wanted out
Oliveira lacks heart. In my opinion he was hurt and crumbled. When he realized it wasn't that much of a deal he pretendes something diferente happened and that's why he lost. Just like in the Holloway fight, this guy is too delicate for this business, despite his obvious skills.
I think he was trying to compose himself after the hard body shot and then whacked on the head and his body/mind just gave up.
Yea he definitely lacks heart in comparison to other fighters. That and the Holloway fight shows a pattern of just straight giving up when a rough patch happens. Might do the same with pettis in their upcoming fight
