UFC 196 (3/5): McGregor vs Nate Diaz, Tate vs Holm

I don't think she was tapping. That said, she should have. WTF is the point not to?

I'm also completely on that side of the "argument." Tapping in no way should be seen as shameful or weak or whatever.

There is situations where I lose a little respect when a fighter taps. When they put up no resistance/allow the submission attempt in the first place and the Lesnar style against Cain. There is no shame in tapping when they know that no amount effort is going to be enough to escape going to sleep or having a limb severely damaged. In those situations I think it's stupid not to tap.

Half the time they put up no resistance because they are begging for the choke to stop a beating. See the fight in question here, Conor vs Nate. Conor didn't turn onto his stomach within 3 seconds of getting mounted out of ineptitude, it was waving the white flag. Why would he bother resisting what he wanted to happen?

All tests clean, biggest upset of the event, IMO.

It looks like I was right for once. Nunes is going to get her shot at Tate.
