Where do you place this in the sub of the year?

IMO, it's pretty awesome that Thompson subbed him with a takedown.

It's pretty epic even if you take into consideration that Sapp is tap friendly.  He's submitted to strikes before, but never to a takedown.

Looked to me like he was trying to punch Thompson and his hand hit the mat multiple times while he fell back.

Early stoppage.


EDIT: I didn't even know I'd made a best submissions of 2012 list, I'm gonna have to update that thing one of these days.  Been a lot that's happened since January.

Here's the submission and the tap.

In no way was that Sapp "trying to punch" Thompson.  >_>

That was as clear of a tapout as possible.

Using sarcasm on the internet is like fapping, you're the only one who enjoys it and you're left with a mess on your hands.
