Melendez said he was out for 1s... w/gif

[Tier1 Operator]

After the fight Melendez said he was out for a second. I do believe he was out, his eyes were completely closed, but he recovered very quick. What do you guys say?

I personally thought he was out for a second there.

Sanchez needed to follow up with strikes, the grappling initiation may have robbed him of a GOAT come from behind win

 

[kratosdrake]

he said it, so i believe it.

He had no reason to lie.

 

[JungleJunky]

I thought he was out for a sec, wouldn't be surprised if both if them weren't unconscious at some point in that fight.

 

[Escopeta]

Look at his body. It's pretty obvious he was flash ko'd by that punch.

 

[Bubba Kid]

Looks like he was out

diego about 2 inches from finishing

What a fight. Diego made up for the Gomi fight big time.

 

[snoop dogg***]

dang, i like melendez, but that gives future opponents some confidence and blueprint plans

 

[Steve08]

It definitely seems like he was out while falling, but only for like, 1.5 seconds at most.

Melendez recovered too quickly and grabbed a leg. Sanchez wasnt in a position to land meaningful LEGAL strikes. It just wasnt going to happen for Diego. He'll have to settle with Rogan treating him like the star of the show even though that was his only moment.

 

[UNLVRugby]

Even if he was out he was still able to recover, which is amazing. Best fight I've ever seen, helluva 3rd round

 

[Ozymandias]

I thought he was out as well.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

When Gil started to brawl with Sanchez, I had a feeling Sanchez was gonna drop a bomb sooner or later.

 

[JayElectra]

As are many fighters when they get rocked.
