I'm not a Conor hater or anything, and certainly not a pro fighter, but when you come out and talk about being ready to die in the cage, you don't tap to a choke. If you get caught in a sub where your arm or leg is about to be broken, then you should tap, and you're stupid if you don't. But when you are being choked out, you fight with everything you have until you pass out. Holly Holm was throwing punches at an invisible oppenent while being choked into unconsciousness in the fight before Conor, and she never tapped. Conor tapped right away as soon as he felt that choke. I'm not trying to sound like a tough guy, if I was rear-naked like Conor was, I would tap too. But I also wouldn't tell the world that I was ready to die in the ring.
