Did Jessica tap to Rose?

[Huligani]

Clearly a tap

 

[91 seconds]

That's most certainly a tap. I agree, it's more than likely those bullshit ones but nonetheless a clear "let go of me" tap that could've resulted in a legit loss.

 

[Gigaton Punch]

Good God you guys are delusional

 

[Swoliosis]

Clearly she’s not submitting to anything. This is pointless to even talk about.

Yeah, hella dumb

 

[WhitestKidU’Know]

Not sure why she'd tap while Rose is on her shoulders about to get slammed on her head

Seems like she was trying to get Rose to let go of the sub attempt, maybe?

It looks just like she is tapping. I see three distinct taps.

It’s not cheating so it’s whatever either way.

Edit: Maybe that was her way of saying “ready for a ride?”.

P

Not sure why she'd tap while Rose is on her shoulders about to get slammed on her head

Probably why she didn’t keep tapping

I can see an argument for it being called a fake tap. She doesnt appear to be in any danger or pain from the hold. I dont believe she was trying to re-grip with those taps. I think fake tapping is bullshit and should not be allowed.

 

[AC1D1K]

Sometimes Brazilians and Chael Sonnen will tap once so that you’ll let go.

And then keep fighting.

The matt lindland switcharoo

 

[Dirge]

wtf? that definitely looks like a tap...

 

[HHJ]

Its never smart to fake tap. If the ref sees it and stops it your retarded. I dont think anyone fake taps. they tap for real cos it hurts and try to dispute it.

 

[Mike]

Fake news.

And then she fed the bus a carrot

 

[RoosterHucklebuck]

I know when I try and get a better grip on something, I like to tap on it first.

 

[DragRacer]

Damn sure looks like she tapped to me too.

well, i for one was very happy for andrade on the amazing finish. it was cool to see her emotional after such a great finish

but that video speaks for itself man... looks like she pulled off a phantom tap. i guess it isnt cheating if you dont get caught, but lets call it what it is.

Mom I posted on the Dog again!

 

[GBcrazy]

Well it looks like a tap to me.

 

[locust rising]

I thought I saw that when it was live but it didn't register at the time. So watched it again in real-time just now.
Clearly a fake tap. Not, in any way, an attempt to re-establish grip.

And it happened on the first slam, not the fight-finishing one. The one where Rose had the kimura locked in to foil the first lift, had it locked in to prevent the slam (hence the fake tap) , and transitioned to armbar when the slam didn't come off.

LOL at all the people white-knighting for Andrade. Quite a few as you can see by the amount of non-troll posters with yellows these last few days.

Somebody doesn't like the obvious being stated.

There’s so much irony in this post

 

[kimocomplex]

Every time I compete, I pick up my opponent and immediately tap

Is normal guys

 

[Better Every Day]

fight isnt over til ref calls it off, thems the rules

But fight results have been overturned before based on something the ref didn't see at the time.

A very different situation, but it shows that refs aren't the ultimate authority.

 

[Osiris3657]

What would’ve caused her to tap? Nothing was torqued, or am I missing something?

Nothing. It's probably like some others are suggesting, a fake tap to get Rose to loosen her hold and make her easier to slam
