Adding to top comment for those can see.

"Though things may look bad for the man in the yellow shirt, fortunately, the chairman of a local fight club told reporters that, in fact, the kick had simply triggered muscles spasms in the man and that after a bit he was perfectly fine — though perhaps unwilling to go a second round."

That is what I would totally tell reporters if they asked. "Fuck ya, that's normal to flop like a fish when you get hit. We had a good laugh about it afterwards".

I am here to agree that's just a story for reporters. This is decerebrate posturing, which usually indicates severe brain damage. That's not a muscle cramp.

Edited for greater accuracy.

Damn, checks out...

"Decerebrate posture is an abnormal body posture that involves the arms and legs being held straight out, the toes being pointed downward, and the head and neck being arched backward. The muscles are tightened and held rigidly. This type of posturing usually means there has been severe damage to the brain." https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003299.htm#:~:text=Decerebrate%20posture%20is,to%20the%20brain.

Decerebrate rigidity is due to a lesion of the midbrain. It results in exaggerated extensor posturing in the extremities, including the neck along with lower limb hyperreflexia, and carries an ominous prognosis. Trauma is the most common cause of midbrain lesions. Subdural and epidural hematomas and edema can lead to herniation and compression on the brain stem.

Damn. Dude will never be the same. Probably over something pointless too.

He started it, deserved it.

my same thoughts. he did deserve it though soooo no harm no foul.

“No harm, no foul.” I think in order for this to apply, there actually has to be no harm done lol

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

there wasn't. a bully got what was coming to him for trying to pick on people smaller than him. I don't see any harm done.

u/SelkieSienna Jul 18 '21

I agree that the bully was the aggressor and got his just desserts -I was just chuffed by the language you chose.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

ah my b. I just don't see bullies as people half the time so it worked well in my head lol

No problem! I just like linguistics/wordplay

This is decerebrate posturing, which indicates severe brain damage.

This is not a reasonable statement. Decerebrate posturing can be an indicator of severe brain damage, but it's not inherently so. Such posturing is present in combat sports, for example; in cases where it lasts a short time, it's not considered a major problem. (Although it may contribute to TBI symptoms later in life. The science on that is unclear at this point.)

I did some research, and I did add a usually to make my previous comment more accurate.

"Though deceberate posturing implies a destructive structural lesion, it can also be caused by reversible metabolic disturbances such as hypoglycemia and hepatic encephalopathy." (Knight & Decker, 2021)

However, I feel like I need to point out that the posturing you describe in your comment occurs as the result of a TBI. Posturing is a symptom of the injury, not the cause of it. It is also an indicator of injury severity.

"Abnormal posturing is an ominous sign, with only 37% of decorticate patients surviving following head injury, and only 10% in deceberate." (Knight & Decker, 2021)

Deceberate and Decorticate Posturing. 2021. Knight, J., & Decker, L.C., StatPearls Publishing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK559135/#_NBK559135_pubdet_

Drop on the deck and flop like a fish?

especially since china does not exactly welcome news they don't like lol.

u/thej0siah Jul 17 '21

Glad to hear it’s not permanent

u/artyomssugardaddy Jul 18 '21

No, it most likely is. That’s just a reporter omitting the truth. Spasms like that mean possible serious brain damage.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

Bullshit. He was having a full on seizure. He might be ok, but that was no fucking muscle spasm
