Crazy scenes unfolded at todays Max Muay Thai, as Gou Dakui knocks out both his opponent and referee at the same time. https://t.co/jfrFeVsPo6
While it's often forgotten, refereeing in combat sports is a dangerous job. Officials are tasked with routinely jumping between two athletes trying to brutalize one another and if they don't properly anticipate where the action is going? Well, bad things can happen.
That's what happened in Thailand on Saturday at Max Muay Thai. During the event Gou Dakui scored not just one, but two knockouts as he dropped his opponent with punches and then smashed the referee with a kick as he tried to halt the action.
