Okay.

Again, just write that, then.

There's no reason for such shitty English.

"A cry or scream of pain during a submission attempt will constitute a verbal tap".

Sometimes these officious fuckers try to be clever when they're not.

Well I don't know what "shitty English" you are referring to but this is the exact quote from the current unified rules.

When a contestant verbally announces to the referee that he or she does not wish to continue or makes audible sounds such as screams indicating pain or discomfort.

Thats not the rule though. They posted the wrong rule. The real rule is posted.

Oh, good!

It doesn't even make sense that that could be the rule lol

1.Submission by Tap Out: When a contestant physically uses his hand to indicate that he or she no longer wishes to continue; or ii. Verbal tap out: When a contestant verbally announces to the referee that he or she does not wish to continue or makes audible sounds such as screams indicating pain or discomfort

This is much, much clearer.

There we go.

It’s so weird, I had totally forgotten this main event fight was going to happen, like wiped out from my memory. Somehow I thought Adesanya was busy. Like doing uhh the other things he does when he doesn’t fight

Do you read the rules

1.Submission by Tap Out: When a contestant... makes audible sounds such as screams indicating pain or discomfort

yes, did you?

 

[HeLLMuTT]

It's literally in the rules. It isn't even a bad call, it's as much a verbal tap as screaming taptaptap IMO

Thanks for that.

That should be worded as "Verbal Tap Out: When a contestant verbally announces to the referee that they do not wish to continue or voluntarily/involuntarily screams in pain or distress."

 

[Captain Tenneal]

yes, did you?

Source? I read my take from the hand book


* He or she has to tell the ref that they do not want to continue, verbally

 

[Staph infection]

Only if you have Dana White privilege. Because we've seen multiple fighters make contact with their opponents or push the refs in aggressive manners but not get cut...Conor, Roy Nelson, Johnny Walker, etc..

Where as that one Black fighter got called out and cut and banned for life by Dana that same night, for pushing a ref. (Not talking about Paul Daley, I forget his name.. wrestler who went to Bellator.)

Stars will have privilege unfortunately. Who did Roy Nelson hit after a fight? Johnny Walker was probably unconscious and did not know what he was doing.

 

[ChosenOne]

I guess I'm just surprised that so many MMA fans and evidently even Cruz and DC didn't realize that screaming out in pain during a sub attempt is a verbal submission.

Sorry to say it but a subset of mma fans are just completely ignorant to the rules of the sport.

 

[InvisibleEskimo]

That's not a great example actually, the round ended in that fight. The ref didn't stop it because of the scream

 

[Tayski]

I'm bout to cave and order some Little Caesars damn

Don't let them have you bro. Don't tap out!!

 

[markys00]

I don't think you can prove that

Ok Leech, no glove grabbing or eye gouging tonight you dirty commie.

 

[ChosenOne]

You have to scream out that you don't want it to continue, per the verbage

You are adding words to the rule that are not there.

Watch this below and remove your ignorance.

Here is a referee explaining it in plain English for those that are still trying to argue that isn't a verbal submission lol

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

False. People react different. Im a screamer, the mouth is closer to the brain than the hand

Ok now think of how far the ankle is .
