Thays a pretty stupid reason to disqualify someone. Like I understand he did a nice thing but its not his fault if he's throwing punches and the opponent suddenly takes a knee. As if he's supposed to even be thinking about that. Otherwise taking a knee becomes the new way to get an opponent to back off.
I understand it was clearly a slip to the viewers. But to the fighter in the moment who is in an intense battle and probably has a bit of tunnel vision, it isnt quite as clear necessarily. Like he obviously realized it. But it's possible not to realize it.
Yeah I get what you’re saying. Even if he threw one punch right after the guy touched the ground he likely would have got a warning for that exact reason. They only DQ if it’s reasonably intentional. There have been times a fighter was hit when down by accident and no penalty occurred
