I'll ask if no one else will...........

Why didn't Nog just tap?? Damn, I mean MMA is the only sport that allows you to "tap out" and live to fight another day while at the same time not losing any respect.

Surely everyone would have completely understood Nog tapping to a submission he clearly wasn't getting out of??

That was not a smart move on his part and gained nothing.

he DID tap

just not fast enough

 IMO the tap and the snap happened in the wrong order.

Taped after the snap.

If I recall correctly Renzo didn't even tap after the snap Phone Post

He clearly taps. Adrenaline would be my guess...
