Has it been discussed yet how Topuria has knocked unconscious 7 UFC opponents out of like 17 career UFC Fights

[Skarsgard]

He was incapacitated. KO of the other variety

He was TKO'd. Still conscious, but not effectively defending himself.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Great wins, but also at the right time for all of them

Oliveira: 10 loses, 45 fights, almost 36 years old
Holloway: 7 loses, 33 fights, almost 33 years old, has a tendency to block with his face, some even say he is already showing CTE signs.
Volkanovski: 29 fights with only 3 loses, but he lost by KO 4 months before their fight, 35 years old

how do you have "Max blocks with his face" but you don't have that for Oliveira? Max slips TONS of punches and rarely gets hit cleanly. meanwhile, Oliveira is dropped in practically every fight he's had for the past 6-7 yrs and regularly eats huge strikes to land his own.

i still don't understand this biased towards Max like he's some kind of Homer Simpson when he easily has some of the best boxing offensively AND defensively in MMA ever. wild takes by blind dudes who probably have CTE.

Max holds the record for getting hit by the most significant strikes in UFC history. It was like 2,200, and that was before the Topuria fight and the Poirier fight where he ate another couple hundred.

Everyone already knows Charles has bad defense and gets rocked a bunch.

Pfffft dude do urself a favor and either go watch the fight or look up the definitions for yourself.


Max was out on his feet and seeing double effectively a KO

You say it’s the right time, only one of them was the right time and that was Volkanovski, who was coming off a devastating KO loss and took the fight agwinst Topuria to soon,

Holloway has been beating the top ranked fighters of the FW division and only loss to one person in 5years. Holloway is looking the best he’s look in his entire career.

Oliveira was coming off a win off Chandler and only gotten finish by Makhachev in a very long time prior to Topuria.

You’ll need to stop with this cope of using age, fights and time,p. How bout watch their performances, which every single one of them looked good prior to Topuria and in their bouts with Topuria.

It’s getting old, constantly diminishing fighters wins claiming insinuating they’re out of their primes. It’s old PrideFC fanboys coping mechanism. These modern day fights are looking better and having much bette longevity, yet yiu people fail to see or accept that, because why not? You all been use to that old trope whenever a fighter losses a fighter is out of their prime instead of just admitting the better fighter won.

What's the official definition of a KO?
Srs question

 

[The Bloody Nine]

If a guy is still conscious, by definition, he hasn't been "knocked out."

you named three top tier guys getting ko'd consecutively and undermining the significance. Find another fighter that has three consecutive KO's in ANY weight class

 

[Ghostoftheville]

I'm more impressed that it's 6 ko's out of 9 fights.

 

[Kwic]

Good point.
I wish there was some distinction between a real lights out KO and a "KO" where a guy drops for a second then stands up immediately and eats couple of shots and ref stops it and they call it "KO" as well. Or dude eats 100 shots and slowly starts to fade and they call it KO.

These guys who knock people dead with one punch deserve recognition via some other stat goddamnit.

Tony Ferguson also looked good before his absolute steep decline...it starts somewhere and Topuria catched all 3 of them at the right time, facts.

 

[Intermission]

Wrestlers make good punchers. Always have, always will.

Look at how hard randleman hit, woodley, rampage, rashad. The ones who didnt punch hard were exceptions

that’s not fact, that’s a opinion. Those 3 fighters are much more intelligent that Ferguson when it comes to training & fighting, you can count them out all you want, but these modern day fighters are having great longevity, it’s occurring a lot more often than not.

 

[KO Shotz]

He used to be known as a wrestler with bjj before he started dropping dudes.

 

[joy2day]

17 fights in total, just 9 in UFC.

His style changed away from grappling when he started getting one punch KOs, and that was right before he entered the UFC. His first devastating KO was right before he entered the UFC. He would have more than 7 stiff KOs if more of his fights were recent.
