MMA veteran Johnathan Ivey explains why he tapped out instead of knocking out Travis Fulton

One of the most active fighters in MMA history, Travis Fulton, entered the cage for the 411th time Saturday night to face 99-fight veteran Johnathan Ivey in the main event of Colosseum Combat 45 in Kokomo, Indiana, and the fight video went viral.

Ivey made headlines around the MMA world after apparently faking an injury — or was it a heart attack? — and then rushing forward and dropping Fulton, landing heavy shots on the ground. But, all of a sudden, Ivey decided to stop punching, stood back up and tapped out, giving Fulton the TKO victory when Ivey was seconds away from beating the fellow veteran.
