MMA fighters are known to enter with skills and the mindset to get a clean win over their opponents. But there are some moments when a fight ends up being clean; however, the referee has to suffer the aftermath from the losing fighter.

Some knockouts put the fighter to sleep, and some can blind the fighter temporarily. Some unconscious moments are like when the MMA fighter starts to throw punches or grapple the referee as wrestlers do in WWE. In WWE, many fans have seen how wrestlers mistakenly attack the referee, where things are indeed scripted, but in MMA, things can get real when adrenaline is there.

Coming with a competitive spirit is like just giving your 100%, and when that spirit gets broken by something intense, it can take a different act to catch up in the MMA cage. Fighters protesting against the referee, even though they know they were unconscious when knocked out, still act fine. But something else happened between the MMA fighter and the referee this time.

It was the fight between Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg and Ma Jia Wen when the fight took a different turn. “Cannon” did something never expected by anyone in the arena or the MMA community. The incident with no camera glitch caught the knockout punch thrown at Ma Jia Wen by Zoltsetseg.

The punch’s impact was so explosive and brutal that Ma Jia Wen was in another dimension. On top of that, he couldn’t recognize what he was doing with whose leg. Wen was on the ground, and being unconscious; he didn’t understand that he grabbed the leg of the referee. The referee also had a shocking reaction and was trying to save his leg from the leg lock.

Things like these rarely happen in combat sports, as fighters are known to be tough. But when these things happen on screen, they get recognition in the MMA world for years.
