@@E4create I don’t understand the issue with explaining it to Rockhold in a calm manner. I think that’s the definition of a professional mma ref who not only understands the game, but also the passion of both the winner and loser in a fight. I think these moments help upcoming refs become better, but also helps show the casual fan how connected the ref is to the fighters as well as the individual fight itself. Again, kudos to Big a John and this clip.

That was a perfect stoppage and explanation from Big John. You can get knocked down, you can get rocked, some take 2 hits, and some take 8. It's when they go limp and stop responding that the fight is over, every hit after that point is unnecessary damage and the fault of a bad ref.

I would've liked this comment but sadly Bisping has brainrot. I can't imagine in any world where a guy who lost an eye is celebrating Weidmans win with that 1 2 eyepoke. Bisping is a shill, i won't even start on his sidekick.

Man bisping ate that jab and right straight left hook . Follow up bing bang. That's tough.

What’s crazy is that a lot of times when you’re knocked out, you lose memory of events that happened even before the knockout. So from his perspective, his only memory is standing up with Bisping to immediately being held by the ref.

It all happens so fast. From the time Luke first got cracked until the time John stopped it was five seconds.

These are warriors, the fight is never over. Thankfully they have some great refs ready to make the call and step in. Put some respect on their names man, all around great job here from McCarthy. And shoutout to whoever made the clip, as an athlete this is the inside view I live for.

This was when Luke was such an unstoppable fluid fighter. Looks like one of the best stoppages ever. incredible job by big john.

Luke: Why? Mazzagatti: I'd also like to know

Having lost consciousness due to a medical condition, I would say he did an excellent job explaining to him what happened and reassuring him that he's OK now! Great referee!!

he saved your health. you must be thankful

Man this is history. 1 eyed Mike. And Luke is still a legend to this day. I love UFC.

One of the best refs to ever do it. He's also the man thst named the sport. Not the promotion (ufc) but the whole sport. Mixed martial arts (mma) He's been around from the beginning.

Respect to big John. He didn't take an extra shot while defenseless

Man like is so open after that lead hook. Mike times him so we’ll. That left was so hidden and such a sweeping shot!

Are you new to MMA? (respectfully) I got knocked out once, and I didnt even know I got knocked out, until someone told me much later. I talked to someone who was there and he was like ".... and you were laying there for a moment" , and I was like "I was laying on the ground? I thought I just got hit with a punch I didnt feel", like I thought I just got rattled, because it was like a movie cut. I teleported from standing in one place to standing 10 ft away, but never realized I was down. Thats why KO's leave some mental issues and people get gunshy, because its scary how someone doesnt even realize when he went out cold.

Big John... is a fucking class act!! And stops to much damage!!

More proof that big John is the best ref to ever do it in mma. Respect

Top 10 greatest moments in UFC history.

It’s crazy how much better Bisping got at striking so late in his career, with one eye. Their first fight he looked like he was at an entirely lower level.

I remember being so excited seeing this, I called it, and everyone said I was crazy.

Thanks you UFC ..💜💜💜

It's so strange to see this because at the end of the fight, everyone is looking at the winner, talking about them, cheering them, attention is all on them. But in this vid, it's all about the pov from the guy that lost, and the attention that they need in that moment. It makes the screaming crowd sound like random noise, while the real content is the ref telling him, it's ok baby.
