Most embarrassing way to lose a fight?

So many idiots about tapping to strikes.

Its ok to tap from a sub that will only make you pass out. But your a f'in pussy if you tap to something that can end your career if you dont.

Im beginning to think that a lot of sherdoggers lie about training.

The only people who say this are GSP fanatics that think it somehow protects his legacy if they can convince the world that he tapped to protect himself from brain damage.

1. Fighters literally get punched in the face for a living, they're used to it, and taking a few punches isn't what causes brain damage.
2. If they were concussed or knocked out, they wouldn't be aware enough to tap.
3. It's widely frowned upon in the MMA world unless you were seriously injured by one of the strikes.

People saying a 50-45 is embarrassing????

It means your opponent was clearly better but you didn’t get finished. It’s not an embarrassment.

I agree. And it's something to be proud of if a fighter who is overmatched keeps fighting trying to win the entire time.

Shogun is usually the one that comes to mind for me when it comes to tapping from strikes. Forgot about GSP.
Yes if you tap to just getting jabbed up or something similar you shouldnt be fighting MMA, you should check out grappling. Being in full mount by someone like Sapp and hes smashing the shit out of your orbital in is not frowned upon.
Its the same for idiots that say Id rather have my arm broke over tapping. Do you want a career as a fighter or just the image of some fake machoman?

#3 No its not. There are some fighters that frown upon it. But not the majority of fighters or coaches.

Everybody I've ever trained with frowns upon it.

Broken orbital, broken jaw, and shit like that would be an exception. That's understandable for sure.

Tapping to prevent serious injury is different.

Tito tapping to Shamrock
Shogun tapping to Jones
GSP tapping to Serra
Worsham tapping to Tank (couldn't remember it was Tank the other day!)

All examples of NOT tapping to serious injury. Somebody explained it a little better than I could a day or two ago.

Something along the lines of you're supposed to take everything your opponent throws at you and persevere. To fight through pain and adversity. Was well said.

I can't make a poll thread, but this might work. Fuck, it'll probably be a shit show, but whatever.

- Tapping to a choke
- Going to sleep from a choke
- Tapping to an arm or leg lock
- Having a limb broken or ligaments torn
- Tapping to strikes
- KO
- TKO
- 50-45 / 30-27
- DQ
- Injury
- Corner stoppage
- Doctor stoppage
- Exhaustion
- Knocking yourself out
- Showboating before getting finished

I believe it to be tapping to strikes.

What say you?

No dude. The most embarrassing way to lose a fight was done by you -- when the girls beat the shit out of you in primary school. Only that could explain your cuck mentality.

These fighters have the courage to step into the Octagon and put everything on the line. There is no shame in losing most of the ways you said.

The only truly 'embarrassing' way to lose that you mentioned would be the showboating. The only other way I would mention would be Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry, where you literally run away to make it to a decision. But fighting your heart out and losing should never be looked down upon.

You would probably criticize Conor and Dustin for tapping to Khabib. Let's see your bitch ass get in there and fight Khabib. My money would be on you crying within 60 seconds.

Wow, such hostility. What exactly are you mad about?

I said I thought the most embarrassing way to lose is by tapping to strikes. That's just my opinion.

If you actually read the thread a little bit, I've said multiple times that there's no shame to tapping to chokes or locks. I've tapped many many many many times in training, my dude. I've competed. Have you?
 
Being beaten before you enter the cage and looking for a quick way out, ie Bader vs Rumble.
 
Trying to double leg your opponent and getting DDT'd like Mark Kerr against Yamamoto.
 
DQ by leaving the arena.

Example: Conor escaping the Irish Bar after Shaemus took his left hand shot.
 
Nothing wrong with tapping to strikes to save yourself from further damage. No sense in accumulating brain damage just to prove to your brain dead sparring partners that you're tough lol That's not how one has a lengthy career. Most embarrassing thing would be getting DQ'd because it usually means you lost your composure & cheated, which is the opposite of what martial arts is about.
 
Calling your opponent a backwards rat.
Making fun of his culture and religion, Family and Friends.
Getting slapped around on your feet before giving up having barely landed a shot on the ground......

That must feel proper awful.

its quite funny really that jones ball hangers will use this pic to say this is the most embarrassing way to lose, without realising that indirectly what you are saying is the most embarrassing way to lose is to be KO'd by the guy you all believe is the all time GOAT.........are you that thick........you cant beat someone with a shitty stick and then try and convince everyone that its not actually shitty its made of gold and diamonds and is the best ever
 
Abe Wagner had a stint in bellator after his run on the ultimate fighter. Dude verbally tapped. And I mean he yelled "Tap". It was fucking hilarious.
 
Tapping to strikes when you're considered to be the Strawweight GOAT

(JJ v Rose 1)

Had a guy in another thread say that submitting to armlocks was more embarrassing than tapping to strikes because "medically" there's no risk to armlocks, only 6 months and you're as good as new, but strikes can give permanent damage.

Swear to god, I can't even make that shit up.

Lol at 6 months good as new. Like surgery is no big deal.

ALL WRONG

It is by shitting yourself literally.

Try to tell me a more embarrassing situation.

In some alternate universe Ronda shat herself when Holly KOed her and the Sherdog server overloaded burning the offices down.
