I Think CC's Knee Gave Out Too

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Not when he got up after the ref stopped the fight. He was fine and literally almost straight away went to go and congratulate Ngannou. Maybe he was hurt a little from the uppercut, but the fact he is still conscious enough to wince from the pain as you can see in the gif. That to me shows his knee was hurt and he felt it. And was aware enough to feel it.

Yeah, after the fight, he was fine. He got stunned briefly and wobbled by a short little uppercut. The wobble blew the knee.

But why was the knee so weak in the first place that it could break so easily?

Spoiler: answer inside

I'd thought Crocop said in internview years ago saying his knees have no cartilege left?

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Cro cop was fine; despite the way he landed and how fucked up his leg looked (the position) because he was out cold before he landed in that bad position.

Cain was hit yeah, but you can clearly see him yelling when his knee buckled, then he had enough wits to roll over and cover up.

When Cain recovers in 3 years the rematch is gonna be lit

He was trying to double leg the ref. Just stop.

And yet he was unaware the single he was shooting was on a guy wearing slacks.

Looks like he goes in and out.

His knee gave out for sure. No KO

 

[theTKDguy]

At that speed, u can see how long it is from when he starts falling to when he screams in pain. He either woke up in pain or hurt the knee falling back, but not when he was falling down.

Yes, uppercut definitely hurt him.

Not according to wikipedia

[Phisher]

Both did. Ngannou caught him with one before the kill shot that prompted Cain to push him into the fence.

 

[Phisher]

His knee buckled because the uppercut made him go limp.




Even if it was more the knee than the punch, the injury was still caused by a legal shot, which would make it a TKO. It's not Ngannou's fault that Cain is held together with duct tape.

dunno if that was him being fragile, he fell doing a split on his knees

Yeah, it was really an awkward way to fall, especially for someone Cain's size.

Cain after the fight giving herzog the ol double leg

 

[IndyCovaHart]

If Cain had been as flexible as Cro-Cop, he would have stayed unconscious instead of getting pain woke.
