UFC 134 Rio de Janeiro Aug 27th

[SPX]

Found the Rashad gif. . .

[poopoo333]

I don't think he was tapping in the Rashad gif. It was just the way his arm was moving when getting punched in the face. Sounds stupid, but it's true. Forrest even said at the press conference or sometime around after the fight that he wasn't tapping.

[SPX]

Forrest is full of shit. That's a motherfuckin' tap.

Two of the times his hand hits the ground--in tap position--Rashad isn't even hitting him. He's obviously doing it on his own.

Sure.

[poopoo333]

He never tapped to Jardine either. I just watched it. The only pussy thing he did there was cry after the fight.

[SPX]

I remember the Jardine fight was debatable, but it does look like he leans over and taps once.

But I really don't see how you could see the Rashad situation as anything other than a tap, unless you just have a vested interest in believing that "Forrest never taps!"

You can just go ahead and call his ass Mr. Tappy Tapperstein.

[poopoo333]

You're wrong, but it's ok.

[SPX]

Banned.

Regardless of whether he tapped or not those fights were still recorded as knockouts. Not Shogun by sub STILL worth it IMO.

[Svino]

Tapping to strikes aside, I don't see Shogun as being incapable of submitting Griffin. Of course, I don't think it will happen.

[Ludo]

I don't think Shogun can tap Forrest unless he catches him in a really bad position(which doesn't seem to happen alot with Forrest) and locks something up while being able to control Griffin at the same time. I don't think a jump guard Guillotine is going to get it done here. He's going to have to be able to be on top or catch a really tight leglock to earn the submission out of Forrest.

[Svino]

Yeah, as I see it:

1) Shogun has good, possibly underrated, jiu-jitsu.
2) I definitely see the fight spending some time on the ground.
3) Maybe most importantly: Shogun actually goes for subs. He tried to kneebar Jones twice I think.

Of course, Griffin has good submission defense, so I don't see Rua getting a sub, I just don't think it's one of those "no way this could happen" cases.

Well to say that it just doesn't matter whether he tapped or not because the result was incorrectly recorded is probably not the best way to go about making a bet.

I'll just say that I doubt Shogun taps Forrest in any form or fashion, but I'm for damn sure not risking 21u to win 1u on it. However, if you think it's worth it, you can certainly sign up for a 5dimes account and make it happen.

Anyone else here notice that the UFC obviously stacked the deck heavily in favor of the Brazilians on this card?

I feel embarrassed to even post on a board where more then one person thinks 21u to win 1u is a good idea.
