I think he was out for a second. If he wasn’t, then he shouldn’t have had such horrible body language. I can totally understand why Herb stopped it.
He said he's not the referee, it wasn't his call. Likes Lawler a lot and was unfortunate he had to get him fist.
I didn’t see an arm go limp, I saw an arm go from up to the floor to brace himself Either way, Askren didn’t impress me
Askren plays up the heel amazingly well. Don’t think he’s actually douchey at all. Knows exactly what he’s doing.
I dont even know what i just watched. Askren was getting rocked. Recovered and then i dont know what Robbie was doing but his arm was limp and Herb grabbed it.
When it happened live to me it looked like he was asleep, especially the way his arm fell. Upon replay I’m not sure he ever went under. Tough situation but either way that Askren is a douche
He looks like a TMBer. Makes world champs go to sleep. Once rode a guy’s back in One while chanting USA. Basically a fantastic addition to the UFC.
Rogan refuses to bc if they are choked out or KO’d they don’t know what happened and just say stupid shit
i don’t know why joe wouldn’t give him a chance to speak there could be a production thing because he’s only said he’d never interview another fight after being knocked out
his ability to not go out from that sequence was incredible if we're being honest. just goes to show how practical wrestling is. their ability to absorb impact is mind boggling
I knew when they didnt stop it early that Askren would end up getting him to the ground. Still surprised that wasnt stopped in the 1st minute. He was taking bombs on the ground.
It looked strange, but when you go out, you don't just go out in your right arm, your whole body goes out, right?? And if he went out, how does he recover that quickly? I suppose it could happen, he loses consciousness for a second, then pops back, knows exactly where he is and what's happening, goes from his knees to standing, and complaining about the stoppage. Seems unlikely tho. Herb lifted his arm, and it didn't drop, Lawler held it up. What's the point of doing that if it doesn't indicate if someone is unconscious? And how fucking classy is Lawler to go from the disappointment and being pissed off to literally 3 seconds later shaking Herb Dean's hand??
Lawler is a great dude. He handled it insanely well. Good win for Askren but I hate that it will be scrutinized to shit and back
Fuck that, i'd call it a draw. HA! I dunno who makes that call, but Askren wants to call Dana out, how about a draw instead of that sham of a win? Plus Askren sounded like a shithead. He appears to like being a heel, so whatever, but it might have been good to say; it seemed like a bad stoppage, I feel bad for Robbie, etc. I hope they run it back and Robbie finishes what he started.
It's possible, but the next 3 seconds when Herb lifts that arm and Robbie keeps it from falling to the canvas.
