Has a male fighter ever been dropped and stopped by a weaker punch than Malkouns jab against Petroski?

[Senzo Tanaka]

People here have clearly never taken a shot to the temple here. You shut down even from minor shots.

The Volkan KO gif is definitely the weakest I've seen but that's also a equilibrium shot. It doesn't make much.

I watched it a few times and couldn’t see anything other than it looked like he got him with a Vulcan nerve pinch to the neck or something.

kinda sus

I've landed this one in sparring ( w/o understanding what it'd do) like 25 years ago since I'm old.
It was such a light shot that when my sparring partner went straight down I genuinely thought that he was just F'ing with me.

He was basically completely fine/coherent, we exchanged a few words with him looking right at me not confused or anything; but he couldn't stand up immediately.
Dude was a bit bigger and stronger than me; and always able to take a hard shot.


TLDR: Behind the ear hits differently.

Petroski wasn't knocked out by a punch though. He KO'd him self because when he shot for the takedown he failed to get his head to the side and jammed his head/neck hard as hell. Weird KO for sure. Can't really remember anyone KOing them selves like that before either lol

While it's different, it kinda sounds like he Maynarded himself.

A 34 y/o non martial artist who Jake Pauled his first few fights which were likely either had matchmaking so heavily skewed to favor him (or were flat out fixed) fighting against a 29 y/o martial artist who'd faced legit top competition.

Why is everyone convinced it was from the hip bone? Because the announcers said so? Those guys are clowns

Because we have eyes, and his corner flat out said so?

LOL that is some FIFA and NBA shit.

Not quite the same but Maynard KOd himself on the mat on a power double against Rob Emerson.

Must've been the dreaded one inch punch.

 

[jeff7b9]

The most incredible victory in the history of mixed martial arts.

Hands down.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Lutter actually didn't even land the punch against Eastman, but the power from the chi generated by Michael Jordan of BJJ was enough to flatline Marvin



It was reported that Marvin came into this fight with some knockout concussion from training camp so maybe his brain just shut down from the perceived landed punch

"but the power from the chi generated by Michael Jordan of BJJ was enough to flatline Marvin"

Okay this made me laugh way too hard lmao Probably the high point of my day

It honestly wouldn't surprise me -- I have shot into someone's hip before (a bony dude) and got a fat hematoma from it.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Looked like a dive to me

 

[CPH]

Great Australian hip bone is what scrambled his eggs.

We Aussies are just built different. That weak, frail, american chin never stood a chance.

That's my guess as well. Not saying that he took a massive shot to his granite chin, but it's always funny seeing a bunch of people who have never been in a fight in their life analyse fight clips and criticise a fighter's heart, chin.

Exactly.

And those same couch critics would be in the morgue right now if they'd been the ones to smack their domes on Malkoun's Great Aussie hip bone.

Petroski's lucky to be alive right now.

Guy who made this thread has likely never fought anyone ever

 

[Tweak896]

I guess it makes sense he rammed himself into his hip, I just can't recall anyone doing that in a fight before. They've KO'd themselves landing a takedown or run into a limb, but never seen a hip be enough to KO the guy. It was bizarre even with the slow motion. Don't think it was rigged though.

 

[Gref]

Ryan Bader threw out a little feeler to gauge the distance in the first 30 seconds of Round 1, and Fedor somehow got KO'd by it.

[Poirierfan]

Has to have one of the worst chins in UFC. Thats an awkward spot to land and can mess up equilibrium but bro was in Sea World for minutes. Many thought it was a fix and didnt know WTF happened. Wiki still lists win as a soccer kick to the body lmao

It was not a jab, it was him hitting his head on the guys thigh. They showed it at a different angle.

Chris Weidman just can't stop poking everyone's eyes out.
