Except thatâs not what happened. Brock stayed in the fight and won
I donât like brock and wanted carwin to win. But saying brock folded is wrong. He got rocked and could have folded but stayed around and got the W

He folded. The ref not stoping it like they stop
99% of these fight and people say âno way he was getting out of thatâ afterward is the reason he won. By any other fight standards he lost and was TKOâd

Standards of today, sure. But thatâs why the ufc sucks now. Get dropped once and donât fully recover instantly and the fights over.
Itâs been that way for years and years. Itâs a way for them or the sports books to control outcomes, and with the big money involved in gambling on fights, itâs no surprise.

You could see it that way. Iâm going with my assessment though lol
I have to agree.
Itâs not like Brock was saved by the bell or anything. 
At the end of the round, Brock had Carwin pressed against the cage kneeing his legs.
Nobody else had even made it to that bell yet.

Except the way I saw it is what happened
He got rockedâŠ. Stayed in the fight and ended up winning
There is no alternate reality.
Ref âshould haveâ stopped the fight?
Why? Brock ended up coming back to win?
I donât like brock at all
But he didnât fold. He took a beating and didnât tap/ fold / get KOâd and he came back to win

Was he knocked out?
But he did âget out of itâ
I like Brock, he crumpled and Carwin took his foot off the gas pedal and Brock came back. Brockâs an excellent hammer but if you can apply equal or greater pressure these bulls break.
Carwin ran out of gas punching Brockâs arms. Wonder if in hindsight the better move would have been to simply back up and let Brock stand back up. Carwin certainly could have rocked him again. What an exciting fight that was.

crazy fight. We need another athletic monster in the UFC again.
How many fights are stopped on the ground with a legit knock out? How many of those fights would be different if they let the guy curl up in a ball and take 700 punches?
You stop a fight when the guy on the bottom is not defending AnD taking damage. That obviously wasnât case. He wasnât taking damage because he got up and finished the fight with his own W
Covering in a ball is not often considered defending and is how literally damn near every TKO is stopped. Lesnar fight was given more leeway than almost any TKO scenario on the ground Iâve ever seen.
But he wasnât taking damage. If he was he wouldnât have been able to get up and finish carwin. A fight is a fight. And brock took carwins best. Stayed in and got the W.
There is no alternate facts right⊠there wasnât a bad standup - illegal shot etc. brock took a pounding and then turned it around and finished the fight himself

Agreed, but if that fight takes place today carwin gets the tko win. Same for pat barry vs kongo
âThen he wouldnât have been able to get up and finish Carwinâ
Okay then almost every other TKO is null n void using this logic. âYou can lay on the ground and get punched over and over and over and over but since youâre in the fetal position, we wonât stop it THIS time, and the other fighter who is used to fights being stopped for this exact reason can punch himself out (but cant just kick you in the face and end it instantly in any non ufc scenario) and we will let you take brain damage until the bellâ
If Carwin knew they were going to just let him
Curl up in a pile of jacks links and gloves and take 152 punches, then get a chance to recover, he likely does something different. You know, because thatâs how almost every other fight that ended up in this situation ended in history.
He should have done something different. Like do damage⊠usually they stop the fight to protect the fighter from taking more damage.
He obviously wasnât taking enough because A. The fight wasnât stopped and B. He got up and eventually won
