    I think it's BS. I just Wiki'd "Knockout" and it says that there is absolutely no consensus and that very little is known about what causes knockouts. The only thing that seems to be agreeable is that it involves trauma to the brain stem.

    I have to disagree, remember when one of the guys got all his front teeth knocked out? when he took his mouth gaurd off all his teeth were in it. Idk if that can happen with any mouth guard but i only seen it with that one :-/

    Breathing

    I want to buy a good mouthguard, and I already had a mold made by my dentist. I don't really care how it looks, because I'll probably just get a simple solid color. However, I have asthma, so it's hard enough for me to control my breathing without a mouthguard. I want to find the one with the best airflow so that you can breath well while fighting. Any advise? Jawzz/FightDentist vs. Bite Defense? I saw that Bite Defense says they sponsor a bunch of top TPJJ guys including Eddie, so they have to be pretty solid, right?

    That guy already had dentures and never took them out before the fight. Even Dan Henderson takes his dentures out. Its common sense. Besides, thats a hell of a custom made mouthguard when youre teeth get knocked out by a knee and they stay in the guard. Even after they took out the guard they couldnt get the teeth out because they were so firmly in place. What do you think wouldve happened if he was wearing a shock doctor? He wouldve swallowed them

    I was in class and we were talking about this, except the guy was a long time wrestler. I said it was funny that people never use them in wrestling but we both thought it was a good idea. He said he was getting a mouth guard that night, but before he left, he bumped heads with another dude doing takedowns and he broke his front tooth.

    A buddy of mine was choked out with an RNC in class. When he woke up his front teeth were chipped. I got a mouth guard after that.

    Just took a knee to the chin while rolling and bit both sides of my tongue. It's really becoming time I buy one, I am now talking like a retard.
