Was Max knocked down?

[nostradumbass]

Looks like Max getting sat down was counted as a slip instead of a knockdown. He did get hit, but couldn't really tell if it was him just getting his movement interrupted while popping out of range, or an actual knockdown.

Anybody have a gif?

Max is my favorite fighter and yes he got dropped from a shot to the temple area. He’s human and it happens, especially taking a heavy shot from a knockout artist like Gaethje.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Kinda crazy that they didn't count that as a knock down. He got hit in the temple and dropped. As far as the record book goes, he still hasn't been knocked down.

It was a knock down I think. I would like to know the reasoning behind why they didn't score it as such. I'm happy to be educated

Looked like a quick knockdown after getting hit in the temple.

Would it be something to do with both of his hands and knees needing to hit the canvas? That’s the only thing I can think of.

 

[Mongoose]

I think it was pretty clear in the post fight interview that he knew he got dropped and played it off as well I slipped.

I think its because he was off balance, but even I thought it was a knock down and Max has been my favorite fighter since he came into the UFC.

I would also be happy to be informed on that decision though sir.

It’s because he got up so quickly and seemed fine. It was confusing.

It was a knockdown. Most people would go to sleep getting hit in the back of the ear. He popped back up and was not phased at all. His head needs to be studied. Granite chin and brain lol

Same. He said it in a joking way like he knew he got dropped. It's not a big deal he won the fight.

 

[linvillegorge]

Definitely a knockdown but he popped right back up and didn't seem too badly hurt. That chin is well tested.

Fazed*, not phased. People seriously need to stop making this mistake.

My apologies sir

 

[boingyman]

I would need to watch the replay, but if I remember correctly he looked off balanced when he got knocked on the side of the head. Regardless he got dropped even if it was for a split second.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Yes…

The punch off his equilibrium and caused him to stagger and fall, but he was still there mentally…

 

[blaseblase]

My apologies sir

An unfazed response.

 

[Xoleth]

Joe said Max was badly hurt.
So yeah, it was a KD.

He lost balance and was almost knocked down, but due to his heavy titanium balls, he quickly found balance again

it's that serious?
