A KO is nothing new in an MMA bout. However, at the Brave MMA’s IMMAF Super Cup 2022 Semi-Finals, a mixed martial artist struck the referee.

During a lightweight semi-final showdown, Luis Enrique Gonzalez Martinez, who did a rolling thunder/cartwheel kick, accidentally connected with the referee and knocked him out. Since it was the final seconds of the round, the official was close to the fighters in order to stop the fight. Unfortunately for him, he was in the range of the attack.

However, in between the rounds, the referee got back to his feet, and the bout continued without any interruption. Gonzalez Martinez (0-2) lost the fight via unanimous decision to Lewis Byrne, who advanced to the finals with the win.
