If he is not able to show sufficient signs thereof, the referee will stop the match and declare a K. So, what does this exactly mean? In the second possible situation, a fighter is not knocked out unconscious, but is knocked down on the mat. The referee starts to count and if he counts to 10, the match is stopped and a K. If the fighter manages to stand up before that moment, he must show sufficient proof that he is able to continue. The situation in MMA is not very different. If a fighter loses consciousness, the referee immediately declares a K.
But, unlike boxing, MMA takes into consideration how the loss of consciousness occurred. For example, if a fighter loses consciousness as a consequence of choking, the fight is not registered as a K. So, what constitutes a K.
In the first case scenario, a K. But, in MMA, a fight can be registered as a K. The fighter usually falls down and, despite remaining conscious, cannot continue the fight which is why the referee intervenes and stops the fight to prevent further harm. Namely, since MMA allows for ground pounding, if a fighter is knocked down, the fight can just continue on the ground until one fighter is knocked out or beat into submission, so as to force an intervention from the referee.

The difference is that a KO Knockout occurs when the fighter is knocked unconscious, while a TKO Technical Knockout occurs when the fighter is still conscious but is deemed unable to intelligently defend themselves by the referee. A KO can occur from a hard punch or from a knockdown, and a TKO can occur due to an injury, or from repeatedly getting hit without hitting back.
There are some differences between what can be considered a KO in boxing and MMA, as sometimes a boxing KO does not mean full loss of consciousness, just enough to end the fight. As mentioned, KO stands for knockout, and is called by the referee when a fighter has been knocked completely unconscious by his opponent.
However, there are also other ways in which a fight can be declared a knockout. In boxing, referees use what is called a ten-count. This means that when a fighter is knocked down, they have ten seconds to get back up on their feet.
If the fighter is not able to get up, or the referee sees the fighter having trouble getting up, then the fight is stopped and is officially a KO. This means that a fighter does not have to be completely unconscious for the fight to be ruled a KO.
This was the case when Gervonta Davis knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round. Davis hit Ruiz with a hard right hand, which caused Ruiz to take a knee, which you can see in the image below. A knockout occurs when the referee is able to administer a ten count to a fallen or woozy fighter who cannot get back to his or her feet within the time limit.
A knockout is when a boxer falls to the canvas and the referee then counts to ten in order to give the fighter the chance to get back to his feet and restart the bout.
That usually happens when a fighter is struck so heavily, typically with a blow to the head, that he falls to the ground or may lose consciousness - briefly or for an extended period of time - and so is not able to rise again to fight. Fighters can also elect to take a knee in the midst of a fight if they feel they are unable or unwilling to compete any further, at which point the referee would perform a ten count.
A technical knockout, sometimes abbreviated to TKO, is when a referee believes that a fighter can't remain in the fight safely and the fight is brought to a close.
