holly9000 - Seems like most of the time fighters turtle up as a last resort before getting pounded out. Is turtling really an intelligent defense? Or should turtling be considered the same as tapping out, ending a fight? What say you UG?

Brock used the modern form of Turtle when he used the techinique to make Carwin punch himself out and win the fight
its not uncommon for turtling to preceed standing up.
