junior tafa = trash

[DoctorTaco]

The unified rules say that a verbal scream is a tap. I’ve sat through dozens and dozens of rule meetings from local ammy shows all the way up to Bellator and PFL.

Rules as written: if you scream while in a sub, it’s over.

The Tafa brothers are terrible. And yeah, that was a fine finish.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

What irked me more than anything was how weak that girly slap was. If you're going to strike an opponent after you've lost then STRIKE him. Put some feeling into it. Don't just tap him lightly on the cheek, that made Tapa look even wimpier <{cruzshake}>

I'm honestly surprised so many people didn't know that

 

[muaythaibeast]

Agreed. He doesn't have to be happy about the result, but he looked like a bitch after with the slap and having a cry at the ref in the cage.
Daley was a much higher level fighter, and they cut him for the same type of shit.

That’s correct. Big John McCarthy has said something like he’ll let a fighter yell and scream to summon the all mighty Just Bleed Gods all they want, like when fighting out of a submission, but as soon as the scream is about being in pain and great discomfort he’ll consider it a verbal tap.

So roar all you want if you get something out of it, just don’t go screaming like a biaatch lol

Especially since Dan Hooker was on the card an hour later..... Did people forget he screamed and verbally tapped against Islam?

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Am I right that Dana didn't do the post-fight press conference?

I would fully expect Tafa to be banished from the UFC, there really is very little difference between what he did and what Paul Daley did, any "Daley punched him, this was a gentle slap" thing is bollocks as Daley's "punch" was also weak and pathetic.

Hopefully we hear very soon that Junior Tafa is banished from the UFC, if those are the precedents, those are the precedents, none of us want to see sore loser bitches running around slapping/punching/trying to fight after they've been beaten.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Whoever the fuck that ref was should be cut. Immediately.

For what exactly? Doing his job?

 

[MMABr]

Not the first time this rule has been enforced btw.

When Werdum sub’d Big Nog, it was a verbal submission as well. Big Nog screamed in pain, and Werdum let go. Later on, Big Nog said that, by yelling, he knew Werdum would let go and the fight would be stopped.

 

[Safton]

I like when uninformed idiots out themselves in a thread like this one. Makes it easier to know whose opinion can be safely ignored!

 

[Deceasedxo]

Both Tafa brothers shouldn't even be in the UFC tbh, they have worse grappling than fucking Hunto

 

[Ryoto Machida]

Seriously? So you'd rather watch flyweight point fighters or women fight than watch a 250lb overly aggressive KO hunter?

lol

Thanks for letting us know what kind of men you're into.

 

[TrueBias]

Why, what he do?

Yeah, what's the story?

 

[Greyscale]

Basically what Tafa did wasn't too different from Daley/Orphan of Kos

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I'm honestly surprised so many people didn't know that

I remember back when Joe Warren was the king of screaming during subs.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Not to sound mean but it's becoming exhausting seeing this new breed of kiwi fighters constantly shitting the bed. It's like they all think they are Mark Hunt

And sorry to say that but Tuivasa, who I love, kind of embodies that too

 

[Ares Black]

He's not a good fighter and that slap after the fight is entirely unacceptable. Cut that loser. No loss to the UFC.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

lol No that ref did him a favor. Guys like him are to stubborn and meatheaded to tap out.

Has The Baldfather commented on this yet
Somebody should of brought it up at the Post Fight Presser
