Its amazing that Cerrone has been in so many wars but never knocked unconscious.

[KeepItRealist]

When you simply go down and quit as soon as you get hurt, it's hard to get KO'd.

 

[MGS]

I would call that out on his knees

 

[Bob Gray]

Brock was never KO'd either... he turtled up instead. How is that an accomplishment lol

Because Brock has like 7 fights. Cerrone has that many fights on his way to Starbucks.

 

[Bob Gray]

Thread responses like these are kinda funny. Like "He's never been KO'd" and people start up with "Oh, he came close!". And they say it as if it isn't a completely stupid response.

 

[depassage222]

He is fighting like a walking zombie.
CTE had catch up quick.

Chael Sonnen has like 50 fights and has never been knocked unconscious.... There are literally dozens of fighters like this. You guys are morons lol

He accomplished not getting knocked out

Could you name "literally dozens" of fighters with min 50 fights that have never been knocked unconscious?

Chael Sonnen never being KOd despite the people he's fought is actually quite impressive.

 

[Xoleth]

Condit
Mousasi
Chael
Masvidal
Nate
Cruz
Chris Lytle
MM
Bas
Dan Severn had 90 fights before being KOd
Travis Fulton had 300 fights before being KOd by Ricco Rodriguezz

Also, many others
Not much of accomplishment from Cerrone

 

[ticho123]

Yeah, Cowboy's stellar TKO-loss to KO-loss ratio sure is the stuff of legends

 

[Kono dio da!]

He was 2 seconds away from being out completely here.

That's also the hook he used on Darren till.
Is that an att thing? Woodley uses it to great effect too.

[MarkyMcFly]

What ?

You said you aren't going to be able to be Ko'd turtled up

You can be, if you get knocked out standing

Nobody said it was unique to Cerrone. Only that it's impressive. The same is true of almost everyone on your list.

 

[blaseblah]

I mean...eh? Once you hurt him he just folds and covers up so it's hard to get KO'd before the ref gets to you

Same reason Chael hasnt gone unconscious

 

[Paulsp]

Conor fractured cerrones nose AND his orbital

can’t believe dana paid off the doctors to lie about these injuries to make the fix more believable

 

[Stalingrad9]

You said you aren't going to be able to be Ko'd turtled up

Knocked unconscious.

If he turtles up when hurt standing the probability of him getting KOed unconscious goes down a lot.

 

[Bookerman]

No, he bails before he gets ko’d

This OP has already been mostly dismantled, but just to add: if we're really comparing losing due to TKO vs losing due to KO I actually think losing to KO should be seen as more honorable as that's a situation where you literally can't do shit - your lights got put out. With a TKO the fighter is still able to act yet is getting crushed regardless.
