He had to know he wasn't in shape, so it begs the question, why the hell did he go out there? It's hard to believe that MuscleTech would have wanted their spokesman on stage in that condition. I would have to think they would have made him pull out with an "injury" or something before having him seen like that. But if his sponsors didn't make him do it, then why would Kovacs subject himself to that humiliation? Man, it's shit like this that gives the sport a black eye!
