If you want, skip to 4:19 for the big moment.
EDIT: Ugh, won't allow playing as an embedded video

The Saudi, Hamedi, lost to the Iranian, Sajad, after dominating the match, because he knocked him out. No, not Sajad knocking him out. The Hamedi knocked out Sajad. He got disqualified because he "kicked too hard"! Are you fucking kidding me?! That shouldn't even be a thing, but that aside... Sajad literally leaned into the kick, which looked pretty tame and controlled and actually aimed at the chest.
And while I believe he was at least briefly knocked out, that could've easily been an intentional flop as a gambit since he was losing badly anyway.
What an absolute joke of a competition...
