Is the "no tapping to strikes" sherbro the worst kind of sherbro?

[Pequeño Corey]

It’s ok for those MMA sissies, but my alpha slapletes better not quit on the barrel. Let the refs and doctors decide who can’t continue.

 

[BangBang]

Aside from the murderers, racists, rapists and slappers amongst us.

You can verbally submit by screaming I think. That would be my plan.

yea Werdum finished Nogueira with an armbar when he screamed in pain instead of tapping

I have no problem with a fighter tapping to strikes but it really shouldn't come down to that. Either the ref or the fighters coach should've stopped the fight by that point. People shit on fighters who tap to strikes when they should really be shitting on the coach for not taking care of their fighters.

How is a coach or ref supposed to know about how your body reacts to a strike though, it's like the time Chandler lost his sight, how is anyone supposed to know what is happening to him, he has to tap there is no alternative, that's what tapping is for anyway, for the fighter to let everyone know because they have no way of knowing, the only reason we're even discussing it is because of the stigma

I adhere the Mario Yamasaki school of thinking

There's always outliers but it's usually the fighters being too tough for their own good. That's when someone else needs to step in. Of course there's cases where it's on the fighter to tap out, which i said i had no problem with, but i see that as more the exception than the rule

Tapping to strikes may be smart for long-term health, but it's extremely pathetic and will never be forgotten.

Shows a huge weakness.

But like I said, allows you to have better long-term health.

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

why only sherbros? there's plenty of fighters who think it's a bitch move too

Yeah but we're talking about Sherbros; actual badasses, not those pussies that strip off and fight for a living

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Worst kind is still the "I got tapped by a 115 lbs girl" sherbro.

You've never rolled or done bjj. You get tapped by women all the time. Yes you can just strong out of it but if someone applies the technique correctly you tap. You meet the other person's energy. Get up off the couch asshole.

 

[JinKazama]

dont waste another thought on people like that

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

is that the one where cb was face down and getting pounded and then afterwards he complained to the media he wasn’t protected by the ref? Lol only fighter to ever complain about a ref not stopping a fight. No wonder he was never a champion.

Couch champions unite!

 

[Joshuaace]

It's fast becoming the Sherbro that looks down his nose at combat sports other than his preferred method of violence.

I got cauliflower ears bro I been in the game longer than you’ve been alive

I trained bjj for around 10 years, never got tapped by a woman.

I get you, my argument is that the rare times we see fighters tap to strikes is when they are hurt in some way that can't be seen by the ref or the cornermen, which is why they tap instead of gutting it out. I think there's only a small handful of fights where someone should have stopped it sooner.

I can't think of anyone tapping to strikes from a prolonged beatdown, its always quite sudden after one strike too many, which I'm arguing affects the fighter in a way that can't be predicted or quickly recognized.

 

[chimpoehurricane]

Please tell me it's only white belts and trolls who shit on fighters for what they tapped to.

I keep seeing it brought up, as if tapping to stop someone from potentially dislocating your arm is somehow perfectly acceptable, while tapping to stop a guy from potentially killing you or leaving you brain damaged is frowned upon and cowardly.

Seriously, how much of a mindless meat head do you gotta be to think this way? How much thought have you put into this? A bunch of dudes in their moms basements couch quarterbacking and shitting on champions who knew when they were defeated. MMA fans make me fucken sick.

I think you had too much soy juice.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I am am amazed Chael vs Babalu didn't get stopped the second Chael started yelling in pain.

Trained? Not training still? Are your comments from a soft chair?

That's not true, a lot of gyms barely even have any girls in them, nevermind ones good enough to submit a strong man who has been training for a while. If I go to BJJ class, there's about 2 girls there on average, and they're usually white belts.
