As any other game, play or fight goes even MMA Pound for Pound have results that are declared towards the end of the game. Well without that there could be no interest to a fight at all. Did you keep biting your nails to see who the winner of a wonderful fight is? In that case it is necessary to understand how someone was termed as winner. Here are some quick glimpses towards the different types of wins that a fighter could have over his opponent.
The decision is usually given by a jury consisting of at least three people in MMA Pound for Pound fights. This differs from one organization to the other and also differs on the length of time that is used to fight. This is just one way to end the fight. There could also be stoppages that force the fight to be stopped and the result being announced. Some of them are
- Knockout- This is in case if one player becomes unconscious- the fight is stopped and the other is declared as the winner. This is also done to prevent further damage to the unconscious player.
- Submission- As the word goes in this case one player accepts submission as he is tired- this is more like an acceptance of self defeat. This is done through gestures by wither tapping on the opponents body or the mat or by a verbal note.
- Technical Knockout: This has various types. This generally means that this has the intervention of the referee or the doctor due to certain reasons. Some common reasons are listed below:
- Referee Intervention: a referee of the match may intervene if he sees prospective damage being caused to one player ad feels that the he is not able to defend himself against it.
- One of the participants appears to be unconscious and is not completely unconscious though probably because of a blow from the other fighter.
- One of the fighters has a severe injury that could even be a cut or a fracture.
A doctor’s intervention could also result in the game being ended. Usually when one of the players seems to be severely damaged but is not accepting failure- the referee calls for a time out during which the doctor examines the hurt fighter and decides whether the match could continue or not. In such situations it is also examined to see if the injury is natural or from unaccepted actions from the opponent. This could also result in disqualification or no consent accordingly. The corner men belonging to one of the teams could also stop the match by throwing a towel either during the match or during the break times.
The match could also be ended in the way of a forfeit where one of the fighters accepts defeat even before the game is played. No consent is declared when there is an unacceptable act by both of the fighters and there is a serious injury caused because of this. A disqualification also happens because of an illegitimate technique or an unacceptable action by one of the fighters. Three warnings are given before a fighter is disqualified and the game goes in the favor of the opponent.
