How are Knockouts achieved? Is it because of the violent and fast rotating motion of the head? --Schandi 14:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
As far as I can tell from the Concussion article, it's trauma caused by the brain bouncing against the skull. --Mule Man 00:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
From what I've been told by my boxing coach there is an explanation for the "classic" K.O. - the one when a fighter despite not having sustained much damage and apparently being at least partially conscious and willing to continue to fight just cannot stand up, is "drunken dancing" around the ring and seems to have completely lost his balance. The reason is that strikes to the chin are transfered through the lower jaw to the internal ear and labyrinth (the balance apparatus) thus disrupting its function.

This article compares the interruption of blood flow to the brain to a stroke. This is not medically correct. A stroke is a vascular interruption *within* the brain. An temporary interruption of blood flow *to* the brain is known as "syncope". (Unregistered user)
[edit] UFC rules
I removed the sentence about UFC rules because it states the "intelligent defense" rule, but that rule is not found in the page cited. Also, since UFC matches are governed by the Unified Mixed MMA rules already mentioned, bringing up UFC rules is a redundant point. hateless 19:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
There should be a page for knock-out mutant animals, not sure how to make a dissambiguation page to build one, someone lend a hand?? Cadmiumcandy 22:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Knock out
Is possible to get the eyes crossed when anyone gets knocked out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.122.41.158 (talk) 18:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
