The fight game has a long history of memorable finishes, from dramatic knockouts and submissions to outcomes marred by controversy. However, sometimes something crazy occurs inside the throes of combat, and oftentimes, it cannot be explained.
Mixed martial arts has had its share of strange endings in its relatively young history: double knockouts, self-inflicted knockouts, unavoidable accidents, illnesses and equipment malfunctions.
