I'm very surprised that noone jumped in there to stop it. I would have if I was even in the other guy's corner. At some point this ref is no longer being a bad ref, and he starts being a guy that should be charged with attempted murder.
If it was the other way round and it was the fighter who would not release the hold, then im pretty sure he would be fined and more than likely fired. This should be the same in this instance, putting a fighter in danger like that.
if, that is, there were any sanctioning committee to even do the fining, which I doubt there is in turkey. so i guess just keep that in mind next time we're complaining about some minor assholishness from the NSAC
It's easy for me to say, but I would have been over the ropes and all over that ref after about the 5th or 6th tap if I was in his OR the other corner.
How in the hell do you not know one of the most basic occurrences in MMA?? It's safe to say that in the entire arena at that point, he was the least qualified to referee that match.
what the ****? This is the third one in how long? Kim Couture being completely out in a choke for ten extra seconds then the guy in Bellator that collapsed from standing and wasn't saved for another 10 seconds. Jesus christ.....
That bellator one wasnt SO bad, he was rolling to cover even if it was sort of pathetic, and he just took some GnP that some refs might have stopped earlier. These other two were egregious to the point that these refs shouldn't be allowed to ref again.
In most fights the other fighter usually would let the ref know that his opponent is tapping. He didn't say a word. And his camp didn't kick off enough to let the ref know. The ref is obviously a retard but the blame should be shared a little more.
Lolololol wtf... how should the blame be shared?? The tap is right in-front of the refs face. If someone has to tell him that then he has no business being in there.
I said the blame should be shared a 'little' more. I agree, the buck stops with the ref at all times. His decision is final. And a fighter should never stop until the ref says so. But come on. The fighter on top must have felt those taps and I've seen plenty of instances where the fighter lets the ref know.

Never mentioned once that the ref did have any business being in there.
So you just like going round trying to pick apart other peoples posts with out adding anything of value yourself? Just type LoL lots of times and follow it up with some silly picture. Cool man.
I don't think the fighter shares any blame. It's not his job to tell the ref the fighter is tapping. It's the ref's job to see it. I actually think it's a bad idea for fighters to tell refs their opponent just tapped.
They shouldn't be influencing reffing of the fights that way. I also get annoyed when I see fighters look or yell at the ref while they've got a sub locked in or are landing GnP, trying to get the ref to stop the fight. Focus on finishing your opponent and let the ref handle the stoppages.
I thought being choked out was just another thing, not a big deal at all you just go out (like a KO) until I actually had a friend choke me out. It's terrifying the first time. You're literally panicking and you think you're dying. Granted that feeling doesn't persist after you have been choked out a few times maybe? But when you tap and noone answers, the feeling surely comes back.
I dont know about anyone else, but things like that would make me shit scared to fight again, well either that or i would start seriously working hard on my sub defense lol. But that ref shouldnt have a job right now, and if he does then MMA should be banned where ever that took place until its sorted out, because that is totally unacceptable. I mean what if the guy just kept on squeezing? he would be dead simple as that, its just disgusting to see that.
Man, luckily the other guy let go. That could have been seriously dangerous. Only a few seconds too much could leave irreversible brain damage or even lead to death. Chokes are no joke.
