Well, when you’re in a fully locked in joint lock or choke, heart isn’t really going to help you. Being in a tight submission, showing ‘heart’ in such positions can end up being stupidity. What’s he supposed to do? Let his leg get snapped? Let himself get put to sleep? You’re in a position where it has become literally impossible to escape.
Literally all you can do is tap or like I said, either get put to sleep or have a limb broken. There is nothing bad ass about letting yourself go unconscious or permanently damaging a limb. It proves absolutely nothing. Conor did the only thing he possibly could’ve done in those positions and it’s the same thing that about 98% of fighters do and that’s tap.
Shitting on Conor for tapping to a fully locked in submission is pure stupidity. He’s the only fighter I’ve ever seen get shit for tapping. It’s as if people think submissions don’t even work when Conor is fighting, he’s some pussy for tapping to a maneuver almost everybody would tap to. It makes no sense at all, and it’s almost proof that you guys have never even felt a basic RNC or armbar before.
Conor really brings out the worst in some people. It’s as if you guys don’t understand how submissions work. Shogun has no heart. Cain has no heart. Anderson has no heart. Cruz has no heart. Fedor has no heart. They all tapped. Let’s hate on them, too. They obviously have no heart since they all tapped. They’re all trash. Only shit fighters tap to joint locks and chokes. What a bunch of bums, lol!
Get real.
