Cro Cop's knockout was the shocker of the night I think. I hope his leg didn't get jacked up too bad from that fall.

It is not so much how they look immediately after the fight, a lot of times it's how they look 2 or even 3 days later. How many here have woken up 2 days after a sparring match and found a massive bruise and went "where the hell did that come from." Right after a fight, blood is still pumping and adrenaline is flowing like crazy, you are less likely to show the effects of a fight. Ever notice that people's faces tend to bruise and swell up in between round instead of in the middle of the match? Thats partly because they are calming down and the wounds have a chance to show.
As far as the kicking thing, I've seen people who couldn't kick worth a damn, and I've also seen people who could take a soccer kick to the forehead and not flinch, so either of those could explain why the guy was still standing. I also point again to the adrenaline, it can keep you fighting longer than one expects.

The rolling and slapping on the ground after you land are to diffuse the energy of the impact. I believe they teach similar techniques for Aikido.

How is a cartwheel guard pass grounds for disqualification?
It's a real technique and, in certain, quirky situations, it's a good choice for passing guard (though I prefer a more conservative approach).
Oh- qualifications for making this claim - ca. 5 years Judo/BJJ/Sub. Wrestling. I'm no expert, but I've seen and used (not very well) the move before.
My guess would be a lack of education in MMA on the part of the CSAC. Also guessing they had never heard of Capoeira. What it boiled down to was the belief by the CSAC that the theatrics of the cartwheel was evidence of a staged fight.

Per Crafty's Request:
This is relating to Brian Ebersole's suspension stemming from the use of a cartwheel in a fight.
http://www.mmaontap.com/mma/category/Brian-Ebersole/
The California State Athletic Commission has announced that Shannon “The Cannon” Ritch and Brian Ebersole have both been suspended indefinitely after their fight this past weekend.
The CSAC believed that their fight was “worked” as they barely engaged and they could be seen talking while on the ground. Eventually Ritch tapped and Ebersole was declared the winner but the fight was quickly ruled a no contest and both fighters were suspended immediately.

MMA California adds: a string of suspensions by Armando Garcia’s CSAC that has MMA insiders shaking their heads. Previous suspensions include Brian Ebersole for doing a cartwheel in his fight against Shannon Ritch last September (he got an ‘indefinite’ suspension) and Josh Thomson for wearing a “Frank Glamrock is my bitch” t-shirt (he got an ‘indefinite’ or six-month suspension from it). Ebersole is not listed on Frank Shamrock’s IFL team for competition in 2007.

CSAC believed it to be a fixed fight based on the cartwheel as well as other things.

Could be a Capoeira influence , , ,
It was Brian Ebersole. He was suspended by the California State Athletic Commission for doing it.
