Nothing tough about getting your joints snapped on live television. I will never understand the fighters that prefer to have career altering injuries instead of tapping to a submission. It’s short sighted and stupid. You’re a professional fighter, we know you’re tough. Getting your ligaments stretched and ripped out doesn’t make you any tougher and doesn’t make you lose less. It just gets you injured and reduces your chances of being successful in this sport.
I’m a huge Ferguson fan, but Khabib said it best, he’s a stupid guy.

All the man has left is his pride, let him have it.
People will remember Ferguson for not tapping to a MONSTER armbar and a LOCKED IN heel hook for decades, if not millenia.
Your girl still gives head? How long you been dating 3 months?
Because you are a wuss...and nobody will ever remember your name (no, not even sherdog)
It's both, but I agree it's stupid
Now you have a loss, AND a destroyed knee
I like the Conor approach of just quitting the second you realize you'll probably lose and not taking too much damage
Plus it was an armbar and granted getting your arm broken ain't fun it is much easier to come back from a broken arm and still be a decent fighter. Leg locks however if you don't tap can lead to your career endingNot a fair comparison. Jones won the fight, Ferguson is on a losing streak where 2 fights he got his limbs broken.
Because fighting at the highest level with millions of people watching is fun (for psychos like Conor)..to this day i still dont understand why Conor came back into the sport after making huge piles of money.
Hes base motivation of mma was to get rich..and he achieved that already. Hes not as hungry right now compared to being poor. And motivation is a big key in success here in the top level of mma
Yeah and it's a lot harder to break someone with an armbar than a heel hookPlus it was an armbar and granted getting your arm broken ain't fun it is much easier to come back from a broken arm and still be a decent fighter. Leg locks however if you don't tap can lead to your career ending
Little column AMaybe both?
Tony's legacy wasn't on the line...Something stupid can still be tough
Tony's legacy was on the line. Tony the type of guy jokes wouldn't be the same if he gave in like every other beta. Tony doesn't think like the common man.
My wife was great while she was my gf! But I know exactly what you mean about Minnesotaians, I work with a couple guys and they are great, nice people. I don’t have a bad thing to say about them. Can you imagine rolling with all Brazilians? A bunch Rousimar Palhares trying to rip your limbs off. Would definitely speed up that Learning curve.Hah! 4 years + as of Feb. I'm just blessed.
As far as the actual subject, one other comment : I've gone to sleep a few times not knowing how BAD a choke was (meaning I thought I had my path out), but if I feel like something will pop/snap/break, no thanks. Fortunately when I was rolling and sparring in those days, my trainers and partners were the kind of nice MN people to ask "OH Jeez, you ok there?" -- Nothing interrupts yer ground game like the politeness of that Minnesota accent
What about tape?People will actually respect him more for not taping. Your not a Ferguson fan gtfo.
You'reYour in the wrong sport buddy
If we look at his record, his last two losses is decisions. If he wouldve tapped, his last two losses is finishes. For his legacy in the long run, it's better that he didn't tap.
The average man would've tapped. For you his decision to tough it out is stupid. For Tony it is what it is.
