Fights Where Fighters Broke and "Quit"

[qw3rty]

Before a fight or during a fight?
Because IMO Conor broke during it, but Forrest broke before it

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Nunes broke Tate. I don't think that choke was even under Tate's chin, she was just done.

 

[abrasion]

The correct answer is always BJ sitting on the stool and quitting. Definitely top 5 of my personal saddest moments in MMA history

And one of my happiest.

 

[Antimony]

Rockhold vs Lyoto Machida. Lyoto did nothing to defend against the choke. He was only thinking of tapping.

 

[Fight Professor]

Gilbert against Eddie

 

[Vil7]

Woodley vs. MacDonald also possibly Woodley vs. Shields

 

[Grenz]

Every Ken Shamrock fight since 2004.

 

[Vil7]

BJ Penn had some fights were he quit & just tried to not get finished. Also a lot of Anderson Silva's opponents broke mentally before they even came to the fight.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Does BJ quitting between rounds count?

Fuck you.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Sage Northcock with the quick tap?

Go take one Jiu Jitsu class.

Better yet, you can just watch the Gracie breakdown of that fight so you don't sound so ignorant.

 

[SirKratos]

I don't get the "Rumble quit against DC" argument. He fought till his gas tank is completely over, even took DC down a round after he started to gas. That alone is a sign of heart.

Its not like he tapped to strikes either, the choke was locked deep in an he tapped after a moderate amount of time.

Can anyone help me understand how any of this is "Quitting" ? I think people are confusing being physically done with mentally done

Triggered

 

[essie]

Cowboy vs. Pettis, RDA, and Nate.

 

[Thesnake101]

Anthony Johnson.

 

[Sano]

Shogun vs Jones

 

[wellz6]

Surprised no one mentioned Vitor yet

 

[Thesnake101]

That Russian that fought against Luis Henrique too, dude tapped to a no hooks RNC after getting dominated for most of the fight. I really thought Smolyakov was going to become one of the better prospects at HW.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Fuck you.

You would never go back to women.

Would have to watch it again but you can tell when a fighter is giving up, giving up their back, giving up the choke.

Watch Kongo vs Velasquez. Kongo had every opportunity there was to quit in that fight but managed to stay in there for the full 15. I'm not saying Kongo is a fighter that never quits but that fight is similar to the DC/RUMBLE fight where one guy is drowning the other. Kongo kept moving from bad position to bad position never surrendering and remaining still and letting the "ocean drown him".
