Anyone know what happened with this BG match? (Not a cheating post)

So just finished up a BGs round and came across this weird result. I defeat the defender, go to the results screen, only to see that my opponent has already finished their match… without either champion dying. Never seen this happen before and I have no idea how this could happen unless I’m missing some weird edge case I’ve never heard of. Things that this seemingly isn’t:
• KO - Duh neither champion is at 0 health.
• Forfeit - If my opponent had forfeited I should’ve just been taken to the end match screen immediately, and I wouldn’t be able to see the results of the round my opponent forfeited in (even if I were reviewing my post-match results).
• Timeout - I finished my fight in 44s as shown in the screenshot, well before the allotted 2 minutes had run out, yet once I finished my round fight I was taken to the results screen where my opponent’s fight stats were already up. You can’t trigger a timeout that quickly. This also rules out pause strats as well because while the fight time shown might be messed up in the display like here, it wouldn’t allow them to actually end the round before 2 minutes were up. You’d have to wait the full 2 minutes and then the fight timer would show a lower time.
• Disconnect - During a disconnect the fight shouldn’t immediately end, it should just pause the fight until you get back in (and if you don’t get back in, you either trigger a forfeit or just lose the round). It shouldn’t end the round prematurely as far as I’m aware, if you disconnect your opponent should still have to wait for the 2 minutes fight timer to end.

So yeah if anyone knows what might’ve happened here I’d like to know. I don’t think this is anything malicious like cheating (if it is my opponent did a terrible job at it), I’ve just never had this happen before and I’m confused as hell.

    Maybe he disconnected, reconnected got to play the last 30 seconds and that's all it registered?
    That wouldn't make sense since he was out before you .. nvm that is weird.

    I had this happen to an alliance mate today actually.. he said the fight just stopped lol
    And he showed the screenshot and it's similar to yours but he's the one it happened to.. he was fighting Domino and I told him she must have failed the fight timer:)

    I’m not too sure what happened here. All I know is… it’s better than facing a cheater. 😊

    No, disconnect has happened to me before. The game continues to count down on the timer while the fight is paused until you log back in

    Yeah I edited to correct myself. Since the timer on OP didn't make sense to being disconnected and reconnected.
