Mandela Effect and UFC 200

I watched UFC 200 on pay per view.
I very distinctly remember the ref stopping the fight between Lesnar and Hunt in the 3rd round.
Lesnar had Hunt pinned down and was dropping hammer fists and the fight was stopped.
Lesnar won by TKO.
I clearly remember saying that I thought they stopped the fight early.
Hunt was on the bottom and taking a pounding but was still defending.
I just rewatched the fight on YouTube and the fight went the distance with Lesnar winning by decision.
I am stumped.
The hairs stood up on the back of my neck.
I can see memories becoming distorted over time, but this was just a couple weeks ago.
Either my memory is extremely fallible or things are not as they seem to be.

I watched the ppv live.

This is literally hurting my mind.

I can't remember how it ended anymore but I really didn't think it was a decision? This is frustrating......any more mma fans, please?

He won by ground and pound with those mini brock hammer fists.....i thought.

wtf..........

Gonna watch the DVR later..............don't tell me silva and cormier ended by tko!

eta: this one is really bothering me....its like my mind is split............

Sorry you just don't remember correctly as the fight went three rounds and Lesnar won on a unanimous decision...it was never stopped.

Just because you don't remember doesn't mean it was the Mandela Effect...this is really getting silly now.

If it didn't happen in this reality, then it's a false memory to this reality. You are the one the needs to figure what reality you are in.

There seems to be a few around here that have lost touch with reality.
Lesnar didn't get a TKO, Hunt covered up until the end. It did look like it was going to be stopped though. That's probably where you're getting confused.

The UFC showed Brock GnP'ing Couture and Mir to TKO's so many times in the run up to this fight is it any surprise.
Juiced to the gills second line.

No Mandela here, I remember the commentators saying in the first round that there would definitely be a knockout, only to have it go the distance. Afterwards I was thinking that it was foolish of them to make predictions like that, it sets the viewers up for disappointment.

The human mind is not infallible.

People that refuse to believe their memory or perception is flawed use the Mandela Effect as a way to not admit they just remembered or perceived things wrong.

Like this example where Lesnar won by decision.

I recorded the fight and watched it the next day (I live in the UK, so it was on late) and I do remember Lesnar winning by stoppage and not on a decision. I have deleted it after I watched it so I can't go back.

I talked to two buddies who watched the fight with me.
One remembered TKO. The other said he fell asleep.
I told him to rewatch the third round. He was as stumped as I am.

That still doesn't mean that this was caused by the Mandela effect...were they drinking a few cold ones during the fight, as that usually helps when one can't remember the fight they just watched.

It's online so you can watch the fight again...

On my phone but here is the link to it...

I will assume that is a rhetorical question.

I'm also in the U.K. and recorded it to watch the next day. I've watched it twice now, it went to a decision.

Yes it is, but it could explain their Mandela Effect.

I remember watching a many of UFC fights while drinking and thought some fights ended differently than they actually did...and that I would blame on the Budweiser Effect and not the Mandela Effect.
