Friday Night Smackdown Thread - 11/8

Maybe WALTER was goin for this tactic.

A ‘Brazilian Tap’ or a Fake Tap is the act of tapping out just once, or tapping discretely out of the referee’s field of vision, in order to get out of a submission (so the opponent lets go of the hold) and then carrying on fighting and hoping to continue the fight and win.

It is a subtle form of cheating and is frowned upon within the MMA and BJJ communities.
At UFC 117, when Anderson Silva caught Chael Sonnen in an triangle choke submission, Chael executed the “Brazilian tap” in hopes that Anderson would let go of the triangle. but the referee saw it clearly and Chael tried to keep fighting but the ref was having none of it and Silva won the fight

If that's what they were going for then have the announcers explain, they were just as confused as we were
