Sorry guys in MMA submissions are not the discretion of the ref...
It is the responsibility of the fighter to verbally or physically "tap" prior to injury. If the fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves - say through a blow to the head or they are passing out - the ref can step in.
There are a number of examples where fighters seemed "done" and came back and won...thus it is the responsibility of the fighter...
Yep some peoples elbows can bend like gumby in an armbar, I've seen it too.. Kimuras don't really work on me since I can put my hands in a prayer position behind my back.
Yeah but I don't know if they grimmice in pain like this chick did... It was fairly obvious she was hurting badly, especially trying to roll in an arm bar.
I fucking HATE Mir! I loved watching JDS smack him around.

Yea.....guess your right. I mean she could easily shout out "tap" when her face is scissored shut by that chicks thighs, maybe she could tap with the right hand that is buried underneth her, or better yet she could tap with the left hand that now has no tendons connecting it to the brachioradialis.

Digilante - you are dumb. First, I am reporting a fact - the rules of MMA which you don't know.
Second, she had several chances to tap.
1. Right arm was not pinned. She can TAP with that. 2. You can tap with your feet. Simply stamp your foot on the ground. The ref will see this and stop the fight. Tap with feet. 3. As she rolls around her mouth is open and she can shout. verbal tap
What you saw was a stubborn fighter..but the rules work.

Also dickhead - look at the very end of the gif...she DOES TAP...
I think you should stick to more appropriate sports that you understand and can participant in...how about....lawn bowls, staring competitions, incest, collecting cans, and ingesting bath salts...
I think these endevaours will better suit your athletic ability...
Notice the sophistication of the setup ... Ronda actually pulled Meisha's arm up and towards the shoulder prior to the actual extension and hip push. This effectively minimized then overcame the stronger lateral resistance-grip of Meisha. Well done and, contrary to previous comments, much too fast for a simple referee stoppage - not to mention many, many fighters get out of an arm bar and would be FURIOUS at an early, improper stoppage. Ronda just bring the setup and execution to a higher level than most. Thoughts?
Ronda Rousey, she has beaten all of her opponents via armbar in the first round, and the other chick is Meisha Tate, and her elbow was only dislocated shes gave a postfight interview like nothing happened.
