It doesn't matter if Robbie Lawler was out or not!

Wait, so after going to sleep on a choke, people just stand up?

What kind of McDojo do you guys train from?

Dude one of my teammates years ago won a match at NAGA after going out for a split second during the match. When I saw it as it happened I thought maybe he'd gone out but wasn't sure at all (he wasn't in a position like Robbie where his arm could go limp and drop like that). I asked one of our other teammates standing next to me and he said the same thing. We thought we saw him go limp for a split second and then start moving and squirming to get out of the choke again. But we didn't know for sure, and the ref obviously didn't see it.

We asked the guy after and he basically said that yeah, he was pretty sure he went out for just a second. Got that fuzziness when you are teetering on the edge of consciousness, etc. And he came back and won. So it does happen.
