Did Mir tap to strikes against Hunt?

[smithnwssn]

Mir recently said that it's known within the fighters not to tap to strikes because it's a bitch move. Well wtf is this? You can clearly see he taps with his right hand when he goes down. 3 different times, once behind his head and twice beside him. Thoughts?

Bumping up against a girl doesn't mean you had sex.

Even if he didn't, he turns and quits more than just about anyone has in MMA, so his bullshit tough guy thing of 'not tapping to strikes' is completely moot.

Yeah, be a man and roll up into a ball and put your face in the mat like Frank Mir.

100% this. He just freezes and waits for the referees mercy.

It looked like he got hit so hard that he believed he was a woman about to give birth.

Mir... doesn't even matter. You lost. Plus watch the Brock rematch. He tapped... bouncing his head off the mat.

I don't think he tapped at all looking at that gif.
I don't have a problem people tapping to strikes.
If you asked me 5 years ago I'd say it's a bitch move, but i guess my old age is making me soft.
Nothing wrong with trying to keep your mental health somewhat in tact after your fight career.

No. But Hunt grandson'ed him anyway.

The best thing about that gif his Hunt shaking his head as he's walking away. Like "no shit it's over, ref."

 

[pick999]

he was dead for 3 seconds how could he tap?

Watch the gif so you can see the proof.

I don't see anything that looks at all like a tap.

Frank Mir's eyes did the tapping
