Win via Dr. Stoppage = TKO?

[ScottyGreene]

Since when?

Just happened in the Francis Ngannou & Curtis Blaydes fight.

Always, if the strike causing the damage is legal. Where you been?

 

[dickcheney]

Always, right?

Only accidental fouls go to the cards?

Or did you mean something else?

 

[cooljay1622]

It's always been like this. what you smoking TS ?

 

[MEAN357]

since forever. As long as the reason the doc stops the fight is caused by the other fighter.
If there was an accidental foul that caused a cut or swelling it wouldnt be called a TKO.

Always. While we're on the subject, I'd prefer they list submissions due to strikes as TKOs. It's a bit misleading statistically.

Jeez dang that would've taken seconds to Google.

 

[nanika]

No it's not. If you're aware enough to tap to stop the beating, then you weren't technically knocked out.

T = Technical = not unconcious. You're not 'technically knocked out' when a doctor stops the fight between rounds either.

Listing it as a submission makes it seem as though it was finished by a choke or joint lock.

If they literally tap from strikes they technically are submitting, but I see where your coming from
