UFC announce team not knowing a basic rule

[podsox]

Screaming equals a verbal tap. We just listen to 3! Of their top commentators and they caused more confusion than anyone.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Are you surprised? Hell, most of the fighters don't know the rules.

But yeah, this has been a thing for decades now.

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

USA commentary team is awfull.
DC and Bisping are just lame

 

[7 others]

Rules are hard, man.. remember when Chael said he tapped in the 5th round against Silva, Chael thought he would have lost that round.

Had he known if he tapped, and that would stop the whole fight and its entirety, he wouldn't have tapped

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Yeah i always thought thats how it goes too..

If your yelling its considered a tap...otherwise why r u yelling ...

Dude wasnt even arguing it that hard... He knew his knee was cooked if the ref didnt step in

 

[GiganticMeat]

Am I tripping? I tuned out after they showed a replay of it, but when they first did, DC was adamant he screamed and that counts as a tap, no? Didn't need to see it 5 more times

 

[Elvis.]

I bet Sanko and Felder would know the rule ,
Just saying

 

[justmark]

...otherwise why r u yelling ...

Because he was in big pain... DUH

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Because he was in big pain... DUH

Umm sorry but does yelling get you out of submissions? ...or does actually defending get you out? ..


That guy looked like he had never grappled in his life which is astonishing considering hes in the UFC lol... He probably doesnt even know how to tap...TBF

 

[GrantB13]

It looks like a lot of people don't know it's a rule and this isn't the first time it's happened before. It's been a thing for a while.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

The commentators never know the rules, it's honestly been a fucking embarrassment how much the company's loudest voices continue to misinform the audience

They can't be bothered to know this shit, they need to save brain space for letting us know which fighter's ex-wife's dog is going through a divorce or some shit

 

[Equinox Shadow]

B.S.!!! Sonnen had already suffered many submission losses before the Silva fight.
...he knew the rules.

[joy2day]

That was a dick move flipping the other guy off after the announcement. If you are going to cry out like a bitch, don't be mad if they stop the fight.

Yeah, that just sounds like the usual Chael story, ie: full of shit
