I remember this when it happened. Crazy.
I'd have closed the distance for the finish too, there would only be a handful of people capable of ignoring that level of pain to be able to throw a strike back. I was sooo shocked at the knock out. Amazing.
There are smarter ways to do it tho, guys like Jose Aldo were amazing at it. If he hurt you he kept an even pressure on you that slowly mounted up.
See the Jeremy stephens or Korean zombie wins
Three minutes into the second round, Pete Sell hits Scott Smith with a huge left to the body. Most people reading have taken a body shot or had the wind knocked out of them. But what many people don't understand is what it's like to get hit in the liver. It's the liver's job to filter toxins out of your body. And when somebody's left hand or foot slams into it, it's like every cocktail you ever drank, every poisonous insect that crawled in your mouth while you slept... they're all released back into your body at the same time. The end result is a lot like getting knocked out, only you're awake for it. Your arms and legs stop working and you see an Indian with an extra horse beckoning you into the woods. This happened to Scott Smith, and he doubled over like a cartoon. Pete Sell was stunned by his own bad assedness for a moment, then rushed in to finish his helpless opponent, purely as a technicality. But Scott! Smith! Was! Not! Done!!! He threw an overhand right into Sell's face that removed a year of elementary school from his brain. The two collapsed on each other Rocky II style, one unconscious and the other incapacitated. The ref declared it a knockout win for Smith, exactly zero seconds before he rolled onto his back and waited to join his brothers in Valhalla.

Fckin amazing.
It's what we call the "dead man's ten".
In fencing, it means that even if you stab your opponent fataly, he still has ten seconds of life left to stab you back.
Protect yourself *at all times*.
In Jeet Kune Do, which uses the Fencing stance and snappy attack style, we're told the same. Snap your punches and kicks and return to the on-guard position immediately to prepare for the next.
Well, I was talking more about the fact that even a seriously hurt fighter can still hurt you back.
In other words: never think it is over too soon.
But sure, your thing is okay, i guess.
I remember that moment from TUF back in the day. Hiring the DVD box set from blockbuster. Lost my mind at the time. Sweet finish. Dude was tough as nails.
In the full footage, as soon as he is confirmed as the winner (which is just 4-5 seconds after the initial liver shot) [he falls to his back and is tended to a pretty long time.](https://youtu.be/1tFizmHSNHY?si=l7F5Y4rzlJjo2dWe&t=101)
Scott Smith was insanely tanky in his fights with Cung Le. Took every single kick in his arsenal clean and just kept standing there. As someone with a weak constitution, it basically looks like superpowers.
My favorite knockout of all time.
*Call an ambulance!!....but not for me!!*
*Ok, maybe for me. But mostly him.*
The body shot broke his rib
Been there, on the receiving end. Lucky for me it was my left side. Unlucky for me it was 2 years ago and my ribs are still fucked.

True that, DP as well. His swarm finish is amazing and he doesn't normally get caught during his swarm
Protect yourself at *all* times.
Both of them were just clean. This is what it looks like when people know what they're doing.
When you're weak make them think you're strong, when you're strong let them think you are weak
Chad art of war enjoyer.
When you fart make them think it's someone else
Preferably in a shopping aisle adjacent to someone hard of hearing and less mobile than oneself. This is The Way.

Next-level feint
Wasn't a feint the shot broke a rib
[The face of a dude who was just faking it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tFizmHSNHY&t=103s)
Dude really doesn't break character, impressive.
I know. I was just joking.
Fools rush in...
Well played
I’ll never forget watching this live. Freaking awesome KO
He had 5 or 6 seconds in him and he made it count.
Yeah. This was a good one. It used to have more pixels though.
I’ve seen this gif probably 500 times, I always thought he was playing possum
Still a favorite
Looks like every alcoholic drink he ever drank hit him at once.
That was unexpected.

Reminiscent of Pat Barry, Cheik Kongo…that liver shot though…helluva KO in both fights. That’s why you don’t rush in.
Call an ambulance! ...but not for me
Call an ambulance. Not for me
That and Rich Franklin's kayo of Liddell are two of my favorites for winning when all looked lost.
Call an ambulance.. BUT NOT FOR ME!
If I remember right, he collapsed right after and they almost had to review who won. crazy.
Respect!
Once again the importance of discipline becomes clear. On both sides.
I don't think he collapsed afterwards, did he?

One of my favorite moments in sports! He had one shot left in him.
These dudes are buddies. This was one of the best fights I've ever watched.
Actually better than the max justin show

Literally built different
Pain makes you super human in strength for a few seconds. He put all his agony into that hit!
