The second angle they show in this clip is the best view of the uppercut I’ve seen and it didn’t look like there was much in it.

He caught him with a short uppercut as he was turning into it and he hits like a truck. I don't think this is that hard to understand.

You are being shown video evidence that the uppercut whiffed and Cain is actively pushing in to Ngannou as his body suddenly starts descending to the floor and he screams in pain, have you seen people scream when they get knocked out?

Whiffed? You can see his head get banged to the side.

Edit - Cain even said he got caught too close early on when Ngannou is most dangerous. He got hit hard. I'm not saying he was knocked out cold.

What's funny is that Dom called out all the punches that whiffed as hits and then miscalled the actual punch that put him down

e: I think Cain got hit hard and going limp hosed up his knee hence the scream

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that in real time but all the slow motion replays look like "owww my knee!" a lot more than a departure of consciousness.

He gets dropped by the punch, that's why his legs go all weird in the first place. He doesn't get knocked out cold but his chin snaps from it, it definitely landed

So it’s actually after the uppercut you’re talking about, when Cain’s head is up against Ngannou’s body

Then he gets knocked out cold, thus a KO.

I was thinking of the looping punch that Cain ducked under as completely missing, followed by the short punch not reaching. From the other side it looked like Cain's head goes right voluntarily, but your clip makes me doubt that, there should be higher frame rate stuff available tomorrow, and I need sleep anyway.

Yeah you don't see the punch at all from that(motel6 in view on left) angle, but his head definitely bounces leading to trying to support his leg with the side of his foot to the floor. I will accept both this video and the fact that Cain is currently at the post-fight presser saying "It was just the knee, he didn't even hit me at all" as evidence that Cain got rocked while still on his feet and thus I was wrong.
