“Only Cowards tap to Strikes.”

[Fedora Millionankles]

I have seen numerous people on this forum say that GSP can’t be the GOAT because “he tapped to strikes from a manlet.”
An entertaining thought, but has me wondering why fighters get a pass for tapping to a blood choke, which causes no lasting damage, yet are looked at like cowards if they tap to CTE inducing strikes that they can no longer intelligently defend themselves from?
What do you think, Sherdawgs; are you less of a man/ fighter if you tap to strikes and what’s your reasoning for your opinion.

Didn't Nick tap to strikes?

Obviously not. There is a difference between bravery and stupidity.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Anderson tapped to leg kicks
Shogun tapped to Jones

etc...

It's just a way to sh*t on a fighter you don't like

Dumbest sherbro logic of them all.

“Ya bro if you tap to someone twisting your toe you’re still a warrior but if you tap to avoid death or brain damage you’re a pussy”

This type of sherbro would never tap to strikes himself of course.

Well, I guess that means my ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend are both cowards.

 

[Tweak896]

That's bullshit. Shogun tapped to strikes after 3 rounds of beatings against Jones. I think it's smart when you have 0 chance. I mean really, you know when you're critically damaged in a fight, why not tap to strikes?

I'd rather see a guy tap to strikes acknowledging he's done versus turtle up knowing that'll lead to a ref stoppage then acting upset about the stoppage.

If you don't literally kill or die in a fight, you're a pussy

It depends on the individual fighter's assessment of their own safety and the circumstances of the match so you have to respect fighters make these decisions based on their own judgment and the guidance of their coaches and referees.

David Branch tapped to strikes against Rockhold after being mounted and subject to Luke’s unrelenting top pressure. This is a profession, and losing your cognitive capacity isn’t a money maker.

Tapping to strikes is fine.... I get more bothered when people do the hover hand thing before they tap instead of defending a sub.

The only people that say this are people who aren't very bright.

I know why people do it but it's still silly

There's always a chance Hulkamania will enter the body and take over.

Nothing wrong with admitting you’re bested and save your brain cells. Your kids and grand kids aren’t going to give a shit if you tapped to strikes If it means you won’t be a drooling vegetable in old age.

What? Shogun tapped to strikes, Tank Abott tapped to leg kicks, BJ quit on the stool. A bunch of fighters quit.

I like to generally think that if you have the wherewithal to tap to strikes you have the wherewithal to try to defend yourself intelligently... but also if you're taking a beating and feel like you have no way out the ref shoulda noticed this and already stopped it.


So yeah idk fuck me I guess
