A lot of people compare the situation Holly was in with Conor.
Even thou it was the same choke it were 2 very different scenario's.
1) Holly was winning the fight and it was the last round so if she could some how get out of the choke she coulda won the fight.
If Conor somehow coulda get out of the choke (what I doubt) he would still be in a world of trouble 2minutes or something and 3 more rounds to go.
2) Holly had a lot of gas and energy so she could resist the choke and fight it a lot longer. Gasping for air and getting choked is 10x a worse feeling.
Their are more points to be made but this should be enough.
3) Holly knew the worst that would happen is should would pass out for a few seconds and wake up again perfectly fine; Conor didn't want to pass out on live TV in front of millions leaving a lasting image that would wreck his mystique.
3) Not tapping doesn't prove how tuff you are.
Bigmeech - 3) Not tapping doesn't prove how tuff you are.Boom
Its not the fact that conor tapped so quick that makes him a quitter.....its the fact that he gave nate that choke to avoid being ko/tko, thats why he didnt fight it.
Smart move by conor, but quitter no doubt.

neither of the fighters were thinking about it that much
Holly was fighting it because - in her own words - 'I escaped it in the 2nd' and she 'thought something would happen' to get her out of it. Divine intervention? maybe ... but basically - she wouldn't give up. That's not in her mentality.
Conor on the other hand - gave up. Simple as that. If - say, Miesha - was rocked and exhausted, she might get subbed quick by a skilled fighter, but you'd bet she'd be fighting it as best she could in her situation.
Oh so Miesha took Holly's neck and Nate got gifted Conors neck, now I understand.
Their was no fighting that choke, their were only 2 options tap or go to sleep. Every intelligent person taps.
Their is no extra honor or glory in going to sleep.
Bigmeech - Oh so Miesha took Holly's neck and Nate got gifted Conors neck, now I understand.
to be honest - yeah, I think so.
Why do people keep having this conversation? There's no point to not tapping to a choke when it's deep and you're stuck
Passing out and risking brain damage does not make you tougher.
Bigmeech - Oh so Miesha took Holly's neck and Nate got gifted Conors neck, now I understand.This is exactly what happened lol. Has nothing to do with tapping or not tapping.
Conor gave up his neck, miesha took holly's neck. Nothing wrong with either, but dont pretend like conor didnt quit.......it was the smart move for him.
andrewwarner - Why do people keep having this conversation? There's no point to not tapping to a choke when it's deep and you're stuckBecause ppl still think it has anything to do with tapping.

Conor had no intention of fighting the choke, because he gave up his neck to get out of the fight wirhout a ko loss.
Conor should've flipped off the cameras first they passed out with a smile on his face... Epic
