Jiri admits Reyes KO him in the fight.

[DidYouJustGetHere]

Sucks for Reyes. If that's true, then Reyes should have won the fight. Getting "flashed", is getting KOed.

You can't be serious...You don't lose a fight by getting "flashed", you lose a fight when you're unable to defend yourself which was not the case here since he recovered right away...Had Reyes followed up by additional strikes with no resistance from Jiri then yes Reyes would've won that fight.

 

[JoeganMoldberg]

Reyes' fans getting pathetically desperate for a win.

Reyes "fans" are really just Jones haters

 

[DoctorStoppage]

Someone post a gif of the upkick

 

[Satchm0]

It happens in so many fights. Most fighters won't admit it.

 

[Sheldon Erich Doll]

In his post fight interview he was clearly scrambled and mentioned how many shots he took. He recovered decently for the press conference but certainly took some trauma.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

I like him even more for admitting to it. I thought he was flash ko'd from that kick and he confirmed it.

The fight was a lot closer than people think. Reyes hurt Jiri at one point and had him shooting for a TD, and now Jiri confirmed that he was flash KO'd.

 

[Moral Victory]

Reyes should try to overturn it to a KO win for him

Even if you KO a guy and still get beat by him, maybe there shouldn't have been a stoppage in the first place.

Or if you can't beat a guy that you KO'd.

so what you're saying is overturn the decision into a double KO?

I'll vouch for that

Fight goes til the ref stops it.


Guys continue after being KOed every once in a while, props to Jiri for getting a big win.


Bisping was KOed by Anderson, down for a long ass time,got up after Anderson’s dumb shenanigans and got himself a win and went on to get the title. (With 1 eye) Respect.

Rich Franklin was also KOed by Anderson, similarly at the end of a round. He was not so lucky and got beat up some more and finished/KOed again. Didn’t quit so again respect to the man for his bravery.


Jiri is clearly tougher than old leather.
good for him.

 

[TheCryingElite]

He did look like he was out for a second but never saw the replay to confirm.

I really couldn’t tell at the time. I thought he passed guard in a unique and visually awkward way.

 

[jeff7b9]

I remember the same thing happened to Rampage when he fought Arona. Caught an up kick and was totally out in his guard. Think Arona even tried to signal the ref about it, but, like Reyes, failed to capitalize and.... well, we all know how it ended. (if you don't know, you're a filthy casual and need to do some research asap)

Hughes was out in a triangle when he slam KOed Newton. Woke up as champ. Crazy.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Hespect.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

That Reyes fault for not following up. Fighters get flash Ko's all the time and some recover and some dont. It all depends on defense and recovery.

 

[chinarice]

Sucks for Reyes. If that's true, then Reyes should have won the fight. Getting "flashed", is getting KOed.

I am still waiting for Carlos Newton to be recognized as an official UFC WW champion.

Still waiting for Gray Maynard's NC to be changed to a TKO win.

 

[Volador]

Jiri went down to the Nether Realm and his soul was like "Meh"

 

[HP_Nut]

Evidently Jiri’s confident enough to be honest with himself and everyone, kudos to him being real, 99.9% of fighters would’ve never admitted to such.

This right here. Almost every fighter would never admit to it. Props to Jiri, for this & being 1 of the most exciting fighters we have in the division

 

[Spitfire3000]

Reyes' fans getting pathetically desperate for a win.

Especially from an upkick which are lame. You get knocked on your ass and you somehow have the advantage because the standing fighter has fewer legal options.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Evidently Jiri’s confident enough to be honest with himself and everyone, kudos to him being real, 99.9% of fighters would’ve never admitted to such.

Yeah, an insecure mental midget like Jon Jones would deny deny deny

 

[Kryptt]

Yea, in the PBP it was an immediate "Holy Shit is he out" moment.

What a great fight.

 

[FeelingFroggy]

It was a fight to the death. Flash KOs are meaningless during such an affair.
