Question for the grappling community regarding Michal Oleksiejczuk refusing to tap: Was it a douche move?

[13Seconds]

Isn't it just kinda scummy? Most grapplers don't want to snap limbs. Holland was giving him every opportunity to just tap.

If it is a douche move then it's a douche move that blows up in your own face by having a snapped limb..

 

[evergreenrider]

Choices brother. He chose broken limbs

That's crazy. Like bro, you wouldn't have gone out of that.

"tap or snap" is like the first mantra you learn in grappling.

I'd be pissed if someone was forcing me to break their arm when they are already defeated.

Give them a big "Fuck you" while you snap that shit.

 

[HHJ]

Whatever. Its a fight. If he dont tap, then just break it and thats it. The guy isnt a douche for not wanting to lose.

 

[HHJ]

Its like calling Murdernado scummy for not passing away in his fight with Glover lol

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Lucky he wasn't fighting Mir... " I don't train to make people tap "

 

[RoyJonesJr]

It wasn't scummy that he didn't tap

It was scummy his arm broke then he was mad at the referee even after he knew his arm was broken

He just stood there the whole time shaking his head like it was a bad call

 

[HHJ]

I remember when Matt Hughes had Royce in a submission and you can tell Royce wasnt gonna tap. Hughes wound up giving that submission up. He didnt think any less of Royce though.

I was wasted. I need to re-watch this fight.

 

[kingmob6]

a douche move would be to snap someone's arm when he taps, or go too far too quick and not even allow him to tap.

he can't be a douche for trying to win the fight and battle through it.

That's crazy. Like bro, you wouldn't have gone out of that.

Tbf Cory Sandhagen did get his arm entirely hyperextended by Iuri Alcantara, and eventually escaped and won in another round

But still a legitimate stoppage and Michal shouldn't have done that. And protesting the stoppage was bad manners for sure

 

[RoyJonesJr]

I was wasted. I need to re-watch this fight.

Ya the whole post fight he just stood there angry

Frank Mir would agree...then listen for the bone-snapping rush that assured victory. Someone with good sense would KNOW that tapping out would have been the wise choice for career longevity.

If bro wants to risk a career altering injury for 20k, let him

Has anyone broke more bones in the UFC than Mir?
