Fighter knocks himself out on kick

Found February 21, 2012 on Diehardsport: Yardbarker Blogger Network

From Diehard Sport:

I’ve never seen anything quite like what Dan Lariviere did in his Empire Fight League 4 bout against Jeremie Capony.

During the second round of Saturday's match in Montreal, Lariviere attempted the flying switch-kick, but missed his opponent's head, causing Lariviere to land awkwardly on his right arm and shoulders, knocking him out.

Luckily this once-in-a-lifetime occurrence was caught on tape, although the video quality isn’t the greatest.

  • I've never really watched MMA, not my thing. The "fighter knocks himself out" tag made me take a look as that sounded funny. Again, I don't watch this, but this is like "pro" wrestling, right? Landed squarely on his shoulder. No where near his neck or head. He then makes what looked to be a deliberate jerking motion to lay out. This is fake right? I now people like the fake pro stuff, is this the same?

  • Passing out from a fall on the shoulder is possible. It has to do with the whip of the head very temporarily slowing blood to the brain which knocks him out temporarily. Besides, I can think of a less humiliating way to throw a fight.
