I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen this already and they even showed it on Inside MMA. But if you haven't, interesting fight between Tim McKenzie and Seth Baczynski a little over a week ago where you can see Tim crank i think even break Seth's arm and you hear him say "TAP" at :29 and tim let's go, then because the ref doesn't stop it he gets beaten into a TKO. If tim could've held his composure even after letting go, he may have been able to win because seth wouldn't have had much usage with that left arm. Tim is filing for an appeal for the loss. I guess this is proof you don't want to ever stop until the ref stops the fight:

Tim McKenzie vs. Seth Baczynski

It's proof of pussies in the cage... And will lead to more horrendous injuries as people will have to be drug off of their submissions. Cranking arms necks and chokes past when a person taps "fucks them up" possibly ending their career or life... Very sad IMHO! He actually tried to brag about this on the UG. He got handled accordingly

yes...pretty sad..seth knew he tapped and verbally tapped too. maybe rosenthal should've been paying closer attention as well. bas rutten was saying on inside mma that any form of screaming should be a verbal submission and people should train not to make noises so that when it happens the ref will stop the fight. that might be debatable tho as some people scream as sort of an output of energy, but if a ref doesn't see a tap almost as it looked like in this case it might be something worth considering for the safety of the fighters.
