UFC vet in double KO in Thailand
Lecat landed a right elbow, knocking Price down and out. At the same moment, Price landed a straight right…
There is no such thing as a KO in MMA, as it is understood in boxing. If for a moment a fighter is in danger and unable to intelligently defend, then the fight is stopped. However, a handful of times both fighters have gone out, and as neither is in danger, whoever comes to first wins.
It’s a little simpler in boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing. If both fighters go out from simultaneous strikes, then the ref starts a 10 count. If one fighter comes to within the count of 10, he wins.
On Saturday, May 20, UFC vet turned Muay Thai fighter Dorian Price was competing against Jonathan Lecat at MAX Muay Thai Stadium Pattaya, in Pattaya, Thailand. Lecat landed a right elbow, knocking Price down and out. At the same moment, Price landed a straight right, knocking Lecat down and out.
Price came to first, and the referee directed him back as the count for Price continued. Price appeared to come to, but was unable to rise, and was counted out.
