What is the ref rushing in for?
Iām guessing end of the round.
ETA:
The kick looks like it might also have been right on the buzzer, which is maybe why the ref threw himself in there like that.
In one of the angles you can see the Thai fighterās cornerman, rubbing his hands and looking to his corner just before he notices the kick. To my mind, he heard the bell, turned to his corner and then noticed that his fighter was throwing the kick, so Iām guessing the ābellā is actually a buzzer that lasts almost a second and does afford this kind of ālast shotā strike, but itās frowned upon, even though not technically illegal. Which is probably why the ref gesticulates the way he does.

Iāve seen bumps like that go horribly wrong. Dude in the white was very lucky there. 
But, if weāre doing this sort of thingā¦

Dude in white was an extremely highly trained, sneaky SOB who had practised that many times.
Everything about that technique screams balance.

My niece is profoundly autistic. My sister-in-law has a big following for her blog on autism and is active in support communities. She says the word in her circles is that he is autistic and this is suggested as a reason they do not want to upend him from the structure of his school. It could explain, too, why he would not feel comfortable touching here.

If that true, that actually makes me angry as a parent. Why the hell couldnāt he say that, then? Is he ashamed of his sonās diagnosis?
