Joe Warren Tap Or No Tap Gif DREAM 11

It doesn’t matter if he tapped or not. His arm was secures and had the ref. not interfere with the fight it would have been broken.

no way he was getting out of that..

I think he tapped, It was his on fault…he gave him his arm on a silver platter leaving it across like that..and even still it looked like Bibiano threw it up and missed @ first and then got his leg in front of Joe’s face, gotta STACKEM Joe!!!

Yeah, stack ‘em, or just recognize what’s happening and yank your arm out of there. In real time, I didn’t see the tap, but after watching this, he clearly taps. And even if he hadn’t tapped (which he did), the ref did a good job.

I have NEVER seen someone actually get there arm broke from not tapping. Not that it hasnt probably happened. He didnt tap out, only one if you want to call it a tap. Stupid stoppage. Should have let it go a few more seconds.

he didn’t tap at first, that was just him grabbing the knee, but once it hits the ground you can see he taps. there’s no excuse for multiple taps like that if it was accidental.

the ref just saved his arm from busting, tap or no tap, he made a schoolboy error

You’ve never seen someone get their arm broken from not tapping in an arm bar? How about Tim Sylvia against Mir? He didn’t tap and got it broken. Cantwell broke someone’s arm at the fight for the troops. I didn’t know if Warren tapped, but I know that the ref did a good job protecting him from himself, because he wasn’t only going to get a broken arm in this case.

you know the more i look at this the more i see the tap!

whoever thinks he didn’t tap, open your eyes and actually watch the GIF. He obviously taps, and it was a good stoppage.

Who knows if he tapped, only he does, the force of coming down would make his hand ‘bounce’ off the knee. He had no escape there though, if he had not taped within a few moments, he would of had a damaged arm at very least. 10 minutes left on that clock, nice effort, but move along.

@ milan707:

Most recent is Steve Cantwell destroying Razak Al-Hassan’s arm at a UFC Fight Night. And there are others… like our favourite:
Timmeh Sylvia

I’m reminded of the Rich Franklin/Marvin Eastman fight. Whatever, he was saved from some trouble.

I remember the Mir Vs Tim syliva fight! When Tim decided not to tap…THAT arm BROKE like a “No. 2 Pencil”…SNAP!! Those joint holds can be potential career ENDERS.

Ok people, enough bs. the refs number 1 priority is to protect the safty of the fighter!!! it doesnt matter if he tapped or not. the submission was in DEEP and he’s arm is clearly hyper-extended so the fihgt should have been stoped, period! it might not have been a tap. Warren probably would have rather had his arm broken. but, none of that matters because the ref must protect the fighter from permanent damage. therefore the stoppage is a just one… i have spoken:)

Tapped

I thought a tap was technically defined as a sequence of 3 taps in quick succession to the same place (i.e. mat or opponent’s body). Granted taps vary in actual practice, but if that is the definition then no, he definitely did not tap.

Regardless, I agree with those saying he was still done and the ref did the right thing.

The ref even asked him twice if it’s a “tap?”, with pointing finger. And for 3 taps, he tapped once when he was being set up, and twice more on the mat.
