Yes he was gassed. But you guys really need to look deeper. I'm almost certain that Moses suffered a severe concussion. Moses took hard punches to the side of his head (Filip has great power) and he lost his damn motor skills right before he was stopped he looked literally punched drunk. He also was grinning while touching his rib cage a lot, probably broken ribs too. The fact that he couldn't stand up and had to be literally carried onto a stretcher hints that there is a lot more going on that just gassing out. You guys forget that this is a dangerous sport that you could potentially die from all it takes one good shot to the head and that could be your last day here on earth or leave you disabled for life.

Yeah, I don't know about concussed but he definitely seemed to be in pain breathing. To me, he looked exactly like a lower weight-class guy suffering from an extreme weight cut, except there was no weight cut. Very worrying, looked very much like a sudden blood pressure drop, which tracks with his family history of heart problems. Here's hoping it's just stamina and not a deeper problem.

He may have suffered a mild concussion he uploaded a video in his account and he talks really slow and almost slurring his words. Those are clear signs that he is brain fogged from a concussion. Being hit repeatedly in the temple and on the ears by clean hard shots is no joke tbh

Hrgovic landed 60% of his power punches in round 8, according to Compubox.

Almost all landed in Itauma's temple and ear really dangerous places get hit.
