In the video, you see him get knocked down 3 times, kind of writhing on the ground look somewhat dazed. It doesn’t really look odd — just doing what wrestlers do when they choreograph matches.
But, then he takes a kick to the chest, and that drops him to the ground. His face is planted into the mat and he never gets up.
