So the ropes are keeping the guy's legs stiff? If your ko'd your legs give out imo, or your hands drop to your side.That's too much of a blanket statement. Guys have literally been beaten to death in boxing without going down because they're held up against the ropes. Something similar can happen in the UFC against the Octagon. There has to be better criteria than "he was still standing, bro!"

Look at his arms, no coordination, no strength, you think he does anything but get brutally ko'd you're crazy. People said TRTVitor Hendo was bad stoppage after Dan is flat on his back weakly grabbing a foot.
