Did anyone ever not tap to a kneebar or a twister?

[pakimahi]

Pre Tony fight, I never saw anyone not tap to a fully locked inverted heel hook. Always thought of it as the most painful sub ever. So got me curious, has anyone every not tapped to a locked twister or kneebar? gi no gi, mma, anywhere? Twister would paralyze someone, I'm guessing

If they didn’t tap did the fight end in technical submission n what was the damage

You look at my ankles or knees wrong, I'm tapping.

Skip to 31:20 for the Kneebar attempt.

Back in the days when Rousimar was ripping off people's knees Alan Belcher got out of multiple ones, threatened his own submissions, and then KO'd him with ease in the 1st.

 

[The Big Babou]

Yep that's the one that came to mind for me. I think he broke Frye's ankle...

IIRC they were both on painkillers during the fight?!

As for failed twisters... Bryce Mitchell tried multiple on Charles Rosa.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Palhares didn’t tap to a twister versus Belcher.

And I seem to recall Edgar not tapping to a deep kneebar in one of his early UFC fights.

Off the top of my head, Bas tapped to a heel hook from Shamrock. Frank Mir tapped Brock with a knee bar. Shogun tapped Randleman with a knee bar. KZ tapped L Garcia with a twister

Saved by the bell, but it could have been bad…

*edit*

@EndlessCritic beat me to it.

at one point in the fight they were both heel hooking eachother, both fucking up their knees for life.

The legit bad blood between the two at the time makes many of the modern day "beefs" between fighters seem like child's play by comparison, eh?

 

[genecop]

As a kid I used to tap all the time when my grandmother twisted my ear...

 

[MikeyB]

Heel hooks don't hurt, until it's too late

 

[rodkek]

what does a twister do?
