One of the worst in a long while. Props to TS for putting this pile of shit together.What a garbage thread.

I never said tapping makes you a pussy.For some reason, I never took you for the "you tap, you are a pussy/quitter type". It's something a Dagestani would say lol
Do this thought experiment, pretend a Muslim Dagestani said what Arman and IronGolem said, maybe it will help in seeing the issue with it. I'll help:
"Bratha, Dustin he give up easy, he tap like chicken because of smol heart, me I never tap, I willing to die in the cage, choke me out or broke my arm, never tap bratha never tap, he not tough, biggest fight of his life and he don't even try , bratha just go to sleep, it's ok"
Lemme know if it helps
Poirier didn't fight any of it as hard as you'd expect from someone with 90 seconds left to make or break their career.
I have to rewatch, but I thought that he immediately went to fight the hands. Maybe he thought he was safer than he really was.I never said tapping makes you a pussy.
I said Dustin should've fought that harder than he did. It was non-existent despite having 90 seconds left for his last ever chance at a belt. Which is what Arman also said and what prompted this entire thread by TS.
You guys are all only complaining because it's Dustin being criticized.
Dustin giving up with even more time on the clock is worse, not better.Clock clearly reads 2:18. Reading is hard.

That clip starts after the sub is set up and basically locked in, but it does look like he thought he was safer than he was and maybe assumed Makhachev was just going to blanket him for the rest of the round.
i think its also fatigue - you are not the same person in round 5 as you are in round 1. well unless you're Sean Strickland or Demetrius Johnson.People are pretending like this wasn't the sequence where Poirier just lets Islam grab his neck and go for it instead of fighting his hands long before Islam's actually squeezing and down:
He doesn't even try to shrimp or roll out until after Islam's wrapped up his leg to prevent that. By which point it's been like 6 seconds since Islam first grabbed his neck.
Nobody's saying Islam doesn't have a then locked in sub that would likely submit you at that point via tap or going out. Arman's point is Poirier didn't fight any of it as hard as you'd expect from someone with 90 seconds left to make or break their career.
Porier went out after he tapped so it wouldn't have changed anythingWould expect the "Beta-Quitter Fan" to say something like this.
Compare the difference in attitude, and result, between Tsarukyan (against Olivera) and Poirier against Makachev ...
Oh god...Yes, precisely.
Which is why those fighters, who DON'T tap, EVER, should be held in higher regard.
The moment "a tap" happens, the combatant CEASES to fight, thereby CEASING to be "a fighter" ... literally by definition.
He’s made such a good case in such a short amount of time.Is this guy one of the worst posters of all time?
