Warren is just a grinder!

 

[Priziesthorse]

he didnt tap wtf

 

[La Paix]

Oh that's not a good stop. A scream isn't a tap is it?

 

[ChaosOverkill]

Lol Joe's gonna cry.

 

[La Paix]

Man that leg lock was sunk I'm deep but no tap. If that scream rule is clearly stated to the fighters then ol but its still a bad rule IMO.

 

[ChaosOverkill]

McCarthy has called it on the scream before, so have others.

Not saying that's the best policy but it's not unprecedented.

 

[ECC170]

that's so wack..next time a guy grunts throwing a punch he better lay down...Nogs disagree with that

 

[ChaosOverkill]

Most guys tap when they first scream that kind of ugly noise.

My guess is the unified rule makers don't want that noise persisting in viewers ears while watching this sport. Kind of funny but it's been like that for a while.

 

[ECC170]

Dantas will crush him again

 

[La Paix]

If that's the rule then I have no problem. Joe will ne thanking BJM in the future I'd say.

If that got cranked on further Joe is headed for Dr. James Andrews.

I've had several different refs say before the fight in the locker room if you yell out they will stop the fight #Bellator135

 

[ChaosOverkill]

Lol Joe, sounds like Cobra Kai. John Warns the fighters, rule might suck, but take it up with commissions determining the unified rules Joe.

[La Paix]

Its like the equivilamt to a flash KO.

Good stoppage by BJM. Saved him a future knee surgery.

This and the sport can't have people screaming then seconds later broken limbs.

 

[ChaosOverkill]

The logic for this is the same as the visual cue on Tim Sylvia's broken arm ,the difference is you can't see a torn knee ligament so they go with an auditory cue.

Does it seem panzy? Yes, but the guys who "will never tap" might end up with zero ligaments left in their knee and just scream through the entire process.

Especially if one move passes them into shock, they may not be able to tap.
