Compared to GM3 attacking the legs or hands while Oskar had the RNC locked in...that was a quick tap. McGregor esc

I think Tavares is going to show how limited Israel's one dimensional game is tonight.

She attacked the wrong hand @Freemoney. I See everything because I've watched every fight ever. Hand-tucked behind the chin you attack the legs..GM3 style. Practice some grappling and you'd know this.

Idk @bruce. When a pro fighter has a RNC locked in, what defines a quick tap? The alternative is going out. Unless you have some Matt Hughes level comeback, it's hard to break that choke. I know every time one of the bjj guys has one locked in on me, I can't tap quick enough.

Wasn't a quick tap. It was deep, it came in the third....and de la rosa is no slouch on the ground, very solid technique. Not the same deal as mcgregor who basically just gave up position and tapped after he couldn't hit the sweep.

@bruce

I don't think it's covering so much as some of these fights are legit pick ems. And you know in this sport and at this level, the margin for error and the difference between top 5 and top 15 is razor thin. You duck left or fall for a feint and that's your night. Look at Whittaker vs Romero. I picked Whittaker, but that was a guess more than an educated assumption.

there's no difference between getting put to sleep Holm style and tapping frantically McGregor-Ostovich style. Yet GM3 knew to fight the legs and squirm. Ended up winning via choke. Hmmm....

While I agree that 1 mistake can cost you the night I also agree that "waiting" instead of "making" it just as bad. Don't expect or wait for your opponent to make a mistake, force that punch or choke without prejudice. The best fighters that ever lived were MEAN. Could kill someone without blinking. That's the best quality in a fighter is pure fookin savagery. Forget respect and humility. You should be looking to take a life.

@Green, well it seems like the admins don't care about our suggestions or requests, so we should expect it to probably not get fixed.
