Big john was already on his way in and it was a judgement call on his part. The fighters have to be able to competently defend themselves and Royce didn't look to capable of doing that at the moment.

I'm a big fan of the Gracie's and a practitioner of BJJ, but props to Matt, that was awesome.

that sure looks like a tap out to me. he's fought enough to know not to move his hand like that unless he means it so I have no doubt he tapped. it was not good to have his hand that far to his side instead of protecting his face during all those shots so I believe he was done.
