YIKES!
Yesterday (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024), throughout Dala Combating Championship, which went down in Astana, Kazakhstan, Zhuman Zhumabekov choked Abhilash Raut unconscious with a Von Flue choke in underneath three minutes within the first spherical.
Whereas it was a slick submission, it got here with controversy. Referee Baurzhan Zhumanov totally missed the Von Flue choke, and whereas Raut was fully unconscious, the dumb referee instructed Zhumabekov to work as a result of he thought he was stalling.
The man was actually clapping as Raut lay on the canvas, unconscious. Zhumabekov realized his opponent was out and launched the submission.
Try the insane clip under:
Lacking a Von Flue choke in 2024 is fairly unacceptable for a pro-level combined martial arts (MMA) referee, however alas, it occurred. Fortunately, Raut awakened and was okay.
One thing like this occurred final yr in America, and it was disturbing.
However, Zhumabekov (14-8) snapped a two-fight dropping streak with the submission win, whereas India’s Raut (5-4) has misplaced three fights in a row, all through stoppage.
