My head canon is because of The Sisko’s mother having been possessed by with a non corporal wormhole alien at the time of her pregnancy The Sisko was able to punch Q.
Q did not see it coming, and wouldn’t have been able to stop it if he’d tried. Q wasn’t acting being knocked to the ground. In realising The Sisko was more than he appeared Q was genuinely worried, and that’s why he never bothered DS9 again.
Since Q is omniscient and likely has the ability to see forward in time, I assume he wanted to get punched in that scene for some reason.
I can’t remember all the context though.

oh gods we were teenagers do you have any idea the wormhole alien jokes we made
Q is pretty far from omniscient.
I meant omnipotent. Get those mixed up sometimes.
