Hey everyone! Today, I want to update you all on my recent knockout loss in Karate Combat. First off, I want to thank everyone who's prayed for me, messaged me, and showed their concern. I truly appreciate all the support. Secondly, I want to clear up some of the rumors and weird stuff circulating on the internet. I've seen videos and heard a lot of fabrications. So let's set the record straight!

The Knockout

So, I got knocked out; it was pretty bad. I got caught with a double kick, and after that, I had a seizure. This has unfortunately led to a bunch of rumors.

Addressing the Rumors

I've heard some wild things:

  1. That I almost died.
  2. That I was in a coma for two days.
  3. That I was on my deathbed.

None of this is true, guys.

What Really Happened

Here’s the actual breakdown:

  1. Immediate Aftermath: After the knockout, I did have a seizure.
  2. Hospital Visit: I went to the hospital, where I was put on seizure medication.
  3. Medication Effects: The seizure medication made me very delirious for about a day and a half.

The Effects of the Medication

The medication had some serious side effects:

  • Made me feel very messed up.
  • Had me worried that something was really wrong.

Once I got off the medication after about three days, I felt perfectly fine. Yes, the knockout was brutal, but the medication's effects were worse in some ways.

Medical Tests and Clearance

I underwent extensive medical testing, including:

  • A three-day brain scan with a world-class neurologist.
  • MRI scans and other tests.

Test Results

  • All tests came back negative.
  • I was cleared to fight again if I wanted to.

Thoughts on Returning to Fighting

For the record, I am not planning to return to fighting at this time. To those spreading false information for clickbait, that's just wrong.

I've never had headaches after getting knocked out. I've never had concussed symptoms.

My Healthcare Experience

Every time I've been knocked out, I've been fortunate enough to

  • Receive CT scans
  • Never experience concussed symptoms
  • Never feel delirious or have headaches

Fighting in organizations like Karate Combat and UFC means getting high-level medical care after every fight. They make sure fighters are treated and get to see a doctor immediately.
