Was Shogun a quitter like Bo?

[Fergelmince]

Shogun is one of my all time favorites, but it bothers me that he has tapped to strikes multiple times. Against Jones he might get a pass because young Bones is on a different level from any other fighter. But I can’t think of any excuse for tapping to strikes against Paul Craig. Fedor didn’t quit while prime TRT Bigfoot was donkey konging him from the mount for a full round. Frank Mir didn’t tap when Shane Carwin had him in prone bone and beat him to within seconds of being the first death in the octagon.

But then I see Bo Nickal looking absolutely bewildered when he gets hit, running around desperately looking for a way out. Shogun never really quit like that.

So which type of quitter is worse? Tapping to strikes or looking for a way out when you could keep fighting?

"Is bo nickal like an all-time great LHW who won a belt in the 2 greatest MMA productions?"

I mean most fighters are still trying to wake up today after the knee Shogun ate from Jones to start the fight.

Also fedor quit in between rounds vs Bigfoot.

Also Bo is a nobody so far so it's hardly the same situation

The fedor fight was stopped by the doctor

There was not a single protest from fedor and he semi tried to retire afer the fight lol he's my fav fighter and he showed insane heart that night but this different ways to give up.

I guess GSP tapped to strikes against Matt Serra, which is arguably even more embarrassing than tapping to strikes against Paul Craig, and GSP is unanimously top 3 goats, so maybe Shogun gets a free pass on this one too?

 

[don't ask]

Not trolling; it bothers me that Shogun tapped to strikes against Paul Craig

Please don't be as dumb as possible.

Petition for pink belt for this fucking dork and his stupid troll threads

Does pink belt take away ability to make threads?

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

A quitter is a quitter. All you pride fangirls can make every excuse you want. Records aside. He quit in multiple fights. Deal with it. Bo pulled an Overeem and just gave up and let himself get beaten until it's stopped. Cope.

 

[prime_lobov]

Idk, the emotional reactions from all the Shogun fanboys here makes me wonder if I’m onto something. I’m not convinced that Shogun doesn’t stand out amongst his peers as more of a quitter.

No, that should be an entirely new type of belt given to posters until they prove they are mature enough to make threads if they make one too many shitty ones.
Call it the BOP belt, Bad Original Poster.

Not trolling

horse shit

Guess someone has to tag @P4p Islam so he doesn't "forget" again

 

[J'Ghasta]

you are allowed to quit after 30 fights with stomps and half dead people.. When you went trough your suergery number 11 and the acumulative damage i skilling you.

Bo is a apsolute nobody compared to Mauricio. He never took a good shot in that cage and still got knocked out.

When he tapped to strikes against Paul Craig, ok, that was at the end of his career after all the wars and surgeries, but against Jones he was 29, the reigning champion, after looking spectacular coming off some of the best wins of his career against Machida and Chuck. No excuse for that one.

 

[TR1]

Shogun has been in fights where has taken ENORMOUS amounts of damage.

You are a turd.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Machida beat all the D-1 guys easily


Shogun saved us and will forever be remembered

And that was his second, post-prime run

 

[snugglecakes]

I don't even remember the last guy Bo beat.

some guy called like... rug burn on the dick or something.. or was that the 1 before the last?

A lot of guys have taken enormous damage and not tapped

 

[goOb]

No Shogun took his beatings like a man. Until Jones nearly killed him.

Why would a Pride and UFC champ need an excuse ? You ever fought ?

He got dominate vs Jon and concussed, open your eyes. Jon is the goat and steamrolled him. You get concusions from those elbows. He took a long beating for the entire fight and got finished with a liver shot.

Have you ever been in a real fight ? What was it like ?

Have you trained martial arts / combat sports ?

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Not against Carwin tho because he was dead

Right. Its hard to tap when you go out so quick.

Why are you asking a random poster if they fight or train? This thread is about Shogun tapping to strikes.
