MMA Fighter Gets Knocked Out, Gets Up, and Punches Referee

Perhaps you’ve heard about the MMA fighter who punched a ring girl after losing a match. Well, here’s another crazy MMA-related story and this time, it’s the poor referee who bore the brunt of the punches.

MMA fighter Frank “The Crank” Camacho was in the ring as the referee for a match on Trench Warz 20. One brawler received an illegal soccer kick in the head which sent him sprawling to the canvas. As explained by Camacho in his Instagram post, most fighters would usually stay down and cover their hands as if they are really in pain, which is a way to convince judges to call a disqualification on the opponent.

However, this brawler reacted differently.

He got up and started throwing punches around to show he’s okay, but apparently, the dude was still dazed and confused and didn’t realize that he was attacking not his opponent but Camacho the referee!

Watch the video below to see how it happened:

Luckily, Camacho knew how to handle the situation. Instead of retaliating and hurting the poor fighter, he remained calm and clinched him to stop his flurry of punches.

If Camacho hadn’t kept his head, he would have hurt the fighter badly. Besides, he is a seasoned pro with 19 victories, 15 of them via KO/TKO.
